Now that our managers endorsed it, it may as well stay here.

I'm gutted our managers endorsed this tbh. I expected him to think differently having done what he done as a player with Wigan and manager at Swansea. Also I've got no idea why anyone wants our players playing league2/conference level football anyway.

Thanks - I understand they can't be in the same division for obvious reasons, my point was more that in the case of for example, Fulham being relegated this year what happens to their B team in Division 3? Is it replaced by one of the promoted teams, Burnley for example.

If so how does that work and what benefits does it offer? For a club yo-yoing between the Premiership and the Championship their B team would have no continuity, yet clearly the B team would have to make way for the B team of the newly promoted Premiership club...

In the Fulham example their B squad would stay where they are in Div 3 they only get downgraded if the A squad came down to the third
 
I still think part ownership of under 21's will be better.

It will financially benefit the smaller clubs.

but they won't be. the league will consist of reserve teams from 10 Premiership teams who can't be promoted above a certain level and other low level teams passing through. If it's a 20 team league then chances then any normal team finishing 10 will get promoted.

How this differs from a Reserve Team league which they kicked out on cost I've no idea, I'm struggling to see the benefit

Thats what i was thinking also with him managaing in the lower divisions i thought he would of understood what it will do the lower league team, it will ruin the football league if this happens
 

No other country in Europe has the lower league system like we do that is so highly attended it is unfair on them
 
A little shocked that Martinez is up for this.

Well I'm not actually. It probably will benefit the bigger clubs which are one.

I just see the lower league clubs struggling without loans from the too clubs.
 
The talent pool in England is perfectly fine, so I really don't see the end game in all of this.

One of the original ideas was to include the England U21 team in the FL Championship. Perfect example of a stupid idea.
 

I keep saying it, but part ownership of under 21 players, would be much better for everyone.
 
Did the journalist write that article by gently pressing his buttocks against his laptop?

Anyway, B teams undermine the identity of the lower league clubs, turning the divisions into production lines for top teams instead of genuine competitions. So it really depends on whether or not you give a toss about all the bowl-cut three-stripe Woodpecker drinkers from Bristol and the dirt-faced Doncaster Helly Hansen wearing incestuous paedophiles having a little semblance of meaning in their lives for ninety minutes on a Saturday before they go back home to wait for their dial-up connection to download Transformers 2 again.
 
Will be the death of the football league if this happens also the death of lots of small clubs its a joke. amf
 
We are building an extension to Finch Farm which will alow the youngsters to live onsite.
This follows the Barca model of getting young players spend more time developing their skill
because they can spend longer hours on the pitch and less time playing games.
I heard Arsene Wenger say yesterday that young players should be practising more
and playing less games...which is what I thought RM was in favour of as well.
If you put players into a competitive league ,there will be a pressure to win
and I feel that may result in players spending less time in a non pressure situation developing their skills.

We have already seen this season there is already a perfectly good loan mechanism which allows young players
to go out on loan when it is felt they are ready.
