From my personal perspective
1. Sack the entire coaching staff at NUFC and bring in Marcus Keane from De Toekomst (the Ajax academy) and give him the opportunity to replicate what they do in Amsterdam.
"In Amsterdam, we take players in under the age of 10, and if they're very good they make it to the first team when they're 17 or 18. If you can do that in Amsterdam, you could do it elsewhere, too."
2. Install a manager, at first team level, who can work within the Academy system boundaries and who'll bring in the right people to help defensively and offensively. Heynckes as an older wiser head or Laudrup as a younger option.
3. Market the club effectively. Attract Fortune 500 or Times Top 100 companies to sponsor the team and develop the brand worldwide.
