Would feeder clubs in England be a good idea?

I've not read Martinez's comments, but the recent rule that was passed which allows the big clubs to poach smaller club's top young talent for peanuts is an absolute disgrace, imo. Many smaller clubs have now closed their academies as a result of this, which is a shame. I think having 'B' teams would be a good idea for the likes of us and the tea above, but it'd devalue the lower leagues somewhat even more.
 
You can only loan out u-21 eligible players and a max squad size of 23 registered first team squad players for every club would help a lot more than what Bob reckons.
 
I think sending some kids abroad would help them even more.

I still think, for lower league clubs to get on-board, they need something in exchange, and for that is the co-ownership deals that they have in Italy.
 
I think if we sorted something out with the likes of accrington, or tranmere / brentford it'd be very useful for both clubs. They'd get some of our top youth talent for a season which would benefit them in the league, and it'd benefit us for having our top youth talent getting experience. It'd be the same for other clubs which in turn would benefit the national team.
