Football Academies & Retail Fraud

BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Football Academies & Retail Fraud

Could changes to England's football youth academies mean lower league clubs lose out?

As reforms are made to youth football academies, some lower league clubs complain it's no longer worth nurturing home grown talent.

5 Live Investigates finds out what clubs in Leagues one and two really think of reforms to the football academy system. As two clubs close their academies, could the new system be hurting lower teams at the expense of growing Premiership talent?

Plus as fraud costs the UK economy an estimated £73 billion a year, small businesses complain that police are failing to investigate the crime.
