3) have poor or lacklustre training facilities which hinder development of youth as they can barely afford to operate never mind improve their facilities.
its bleak and you get about 2k loyal fans passionately trying to keep the likes of accrington, dagenham, morecambe, burton, cheltenham etc in the football league protesting strongly. the sad fact is theyre remaining in the football league as the uk is so backward to progress.
imagine top flight clubs with B teams. the youth players who finally get to taste league football rather than rotting in chelseas youth sides. young kids who get to train in state of the art facilities with top coaches for a B team. who then they get experience get promoted and then shockingly would experience EPL first team experience.
instead we get the "plucky" accrington stanley with their 2000 passionate fans protesting progress. the young players train at a local park with a head coach who used to be a train driver. the facilities include a shed and bucket of water and sponge. the
and then we wonder why no english players are produced. as chelski continue to hoarde any talented english kid and let them rot in the inadequete youth league system never trusting the kid in the first team as they're so inexperienced.
These same 2000 angry fans will then call up bereating the lack of english youth. You have to laugh or you'd cry. In germany or spain they'd be wiped clean. In england its a case of "aww but they've always been here". Same old england. always looking back never forward.

I do not disagree with you! In this Country its all about vested interest, that's why change is so difficult to achieve in all walks of life.

In Spain, where Barcelona and Real Madrid do their own TV deals and don’t share the cash and leave the rest of La Liga to feed on scraps, the ratio of distribution is currently about 14 to 1. So Barca and Real scoff 14 times as much as the lesser clubs in La Liga. That’s why they’re so stonking rich and can pay the world’s highest wages.
In Italy’s Serie A, the ratio is about 10 to 1, in France’s Ligue 1 it is about 3.5 to 1, and in the German Bundesliga it is 2 to 1.
So the Premier League is fair by that measure.
Whether the Premier League should give a much bigger share of its money to clubs across the whole English game is another – much more contentious – debate altogether."

Interesting suggestion though I wonder what the Premier League clubs would think about the idea? |
Maybe they should consider the NFL model .
