Paul Hart to return to acadamy?

By Andy Baggott

Ken Bates is apparently chasing Paul Hart to run the club's acadamy again. Hart oversaw the crop of youngsters that included Smith, Kewell, Woodgate, Robinson, Harte etc. He left several years ago, complaining of not getting enough support fro then manager George Graham, and has tried his hand at management. However, spells at ottingham Forest and Barnsley were not the most succesful, and he finds himself out of work. He was rumoured at one point to be in the running for the Leeds managers role, but nothing came of it. IF Bates can secure Hart for the youth team, it could be as important as any signing made by Leeds this summer. With money at a premium, bringing players up through the ranks is vital if Leeds are to get back into the big time. The current batch of under 15's is very highly thought of, and getting in Hart to bring them through could be a masterstroke.
