Why do you think it's a good idea?

I agree, the Premier league have obviously decided that there's not enough football being broadcast and are intent on milking every last drop of revenue out of clubs on their books whatever the cost. Young players should be nurtured and developed away from the spotlight of mainstream broadcast media. I don't even agree with reserve games being shown on clubs' streaming channels. Improving grass roots football? Blatant exploitation imho.
