Oh dear, What Can Academy? (Mystery as duo leave City)

Another week, another strange development at Ninian Park - what's new?

The latest surprise news is that Paul Crompton and Lee Robinson (brother of Wales international midfielder Karl) have both left their positions running the Cardiff City Academy.

The Academy has been doing a fine job in recent years either producing, or assisting the developm,ent of, players like Joe Ledley, Joe Jacobsen, Cameron Jerome, Chris Gunter, Aaron Ramsey, Darcy Blake and Matt Smith. The due took over the Academy last season and, to most bystanders, have been doing a fine job.

What's not yet known is what the background is. The club have only confirmed their departures and that they are seeking replacements, the pair apparently left last week during the latest Sam Hammam ding-dong. Nobody is yet sure if they left of their own accord or if the club removed them but I'm sure we'll soon find out.
