So the sooner the better we can start.

I think that's the right thing to do.

Yeah, and it's absolutely right when after 15 years working in the academy and you're coming to a club with no academy and I always like that work and that developing players and getting into the first team.

But I think the strategy is actually for Brentford, right?

We're competing against six, seven big clubs in London that are bigger than us.

So we need to find our own model to get the best young players between 16 to 20 in the B team and also have a fairly young squad in the

in the first team.

And then we use our experience in terms of try to get the best out of these young players and develop them into promising Premier League players.

Hopefully we can go there ourselves and play and use our top players.

If not, then we know we are good at this and we've proven that quite well the last three years with a decent track record.

Yeah, definitely.

I think every club needs to find their model that they believe in and they try to tune and make as good as possible.

And we know we have a plan with a clear style of play.

We know we have a very good player development program and how we do that.

We know we're very big on the culture and the recruitment is all linked together.

And of course, you know that.

It's not...

It's not just happened overnight.

It's the last six years.

You try to do a little bit better every single day.
