like the idea of that @Neville60
Problem is the arrogant PL ( & some Champ') clubs cant be arsed to develop 'their own' , theyd rather loan em out to lower league L1 /L2 ( such as OUFC), contacting into the loan, that 'their' loanees must play, then when any promise is shown, generally cash in on em.... I blame the spinelessly weak FA for allowing the son to degenerate the way it has
During the mid 80s when the U's were in the top flight, pre PL, Squad sizes and youngsters on various club books wernt too dissimilar across the 4 leagues in English football, granted some of the usual suspects had a few more on their books back then, but it wasnt ridiculous the way it is now... and what has changed in the interim? the advent of the PL- and the FA turning into a bunch of eunuchs
I agree Sarge, I did say a while back that they higher leagues should be restricted on squad levels and academy levels. The amount of players on their books is ridiculous. I would hazard a guess that a lot of kids would do better staying away from Prem league academy's if they wish to progress, the lower league clubs are more likely to show more individual support instead of treating them as a conveyor belt system. The upper league should be penalised/prosecuted for restricting the lower league from being able to advance to a higher league because of their monopoly of youth and the loan system.
