My take on the whole "B team" idea proposed by the FA earlier today.
This idea has more holes than Liverpool's defence but what do we expect with the FA! He says a B team but its basically going to be a team full of U21's isn't it as most over 21's if they haven't made the first team would have moved on by now so its going to be the same as the current U21 league for starters.
You then upset the football league and conference just chucking another league in-between them, a system which has been going for over a hundred years and is tried and tested.
So when these B teams get promoted/relegated these players will be playing in either league 1 or the conference, so whats different to loaning them out to a league 1 or conference side which is not only the same level (obviously) but helps the lower clubs too?
He says the Spanish League does it which yes they do, they implemented it in the 1950's and it bought Spain how much success in the 50 years that followed? Who actually thinks a Stoke or Sunderland B is the answer to England's problems!
Yes there are obvious problems and something does need to be done but this is not it! For a starters England are massively under coached so maybe make coaching badges (something i have always wanted to do) more affordable to the average Joe (or Carl). Its simple, the more coaches the more kids that can be coached!
Grassroots need to be looked at too, we play in the winter months where pitches are not only full of dogshit but grass is 7ft tall and the pitches are more wet than (add your own joke here). There needs to be a summer league where kids can enjoy playing on nice pitches and kids tend to enjoy playing anything more in the sun than they do on a cold winters morning when its ******* it down.
The FA are going the wrong way about this, they know things need to be done so instead of trying the little things which may make a huge difference they are changing the big things which will more than likely fall down and in 10-15 years time we will be back to square one.
