B Teams In the EFL Back On The Table?

No.

 

What a prat. Stop hoovering up any and all talent under 15, stop charging ridiculous loan fees and let your kids go out and play mens football to gain experience.

 

Short, simple, clear, says it all! In fact, one could even say "end of"!

The effects on the EFL would be mind-boggling, I'd think. Expand the divisions or demote existing League clubs to non-league? Would such sides be eligible for promotion/relegation? Would supporters care to watch such sides?

Has anybody, anywhere, actually said how such an idea would be implemented?

RCB

 

He's also lobbying for the number of PL clubs to be reduced as he doesn't believe some clubs "add value" to the "product"

 

12 current apparently plus two who he thinks have "potential"

 

He also said protecting players and reducing the number of games played is vital.
"This is a real problem," he said. "There are too many games for Premier League clubs and we need to find ways to cut this.
"Some games have to be played because they generate the fans and revenue that feeds the whole pyramid. We want them to be played. There are others that don't add value and put players at risk."

The bad news is, your neighbours are one of the twelve

 

One of the four London clubs
Newcastle, Villa, Leicester, two Manchester, two Merseyside

 

It's an emotive subject but one that merits discussion. The premiership and championship are excellent league to watch in terms of quality yet drop to L1&2 and there's a noticeable difference.

The notion of 92 pro clubs plus many in the 5th tier deciding to be professional has never been sustainable hence so many clubs going bust over the years and others flying by the seat of their pants.

 

And to think they were in league one not so long ago.

It'll be the beginning of the end if we follow the same path as the Spanish leagues. 12 teams will become 10 and so on, until the European league is formed.

Outside of moss side nobody gives a frig about Man City.

 

What an odd suggestion.

What with the roaring success of PL2, U23's in the JPT, the ability to buy kids for pennies, and the billions spent every year on transfer fees, your think the PL clubs were well endowed enough, huh?

Maybe the clubs just need to run themselves a little better and find innovative ways of developing players in-house...?

Too much to ask?

 

Or rather than just pay the training fees to take on a youngster from an EFL club, they have an automatic sell on clause inserted. Loan fees are already part of the sell on clause so the EFL club gets a % any revenue from the loan deal.
