    I'm not a fan of what I'm about to say because it's used unnecessarily at times. But Oldham is a proper northern club. Good to see them back in the league. Chuffed for 'em.

England women 2-0 up v Ukraine, goals by Dowie (niece of) and Aluko (sister of).

 

 

One other idea put forward by a lower league manager I heard today is that the Premier should pay for every club in the football league to have the latest up to date pitch so that all the leagues have the bowling green pitches enjoyed by all levels of football on the continent, it would not cost that much really in the context of things. To me this would improve the quality in the lower leagues no end.

Chelsea have just given their pitch to Aldershot, because their reserves play their matches there.

Sone Aluko was born in London, and plays for Nigeria. His sister Eniola was born in Nigeria, and plays for England.

these b teams

 

if they get promoted while the a team gets relegated, they get kicked out of the league, i presume?

Has he just staggered out of the pub?

Needs to be at least one league between the two. Fuck knows what happens if a team drops a couple of leagues, but I suppose it isn't aimed at those clubs. Those same clubs who hoover up any potential talent and then moan that they don't get to play in any games.

Who decides who can have one of these B teams then??

 

Is it the top 10 richest?? Or 10 league positions?

 

What happens if a team with a B team gets relegated?

 

Its a load of bollocks designed for the big clubs to have a low rent play ground for a gazillion kids.

 

Hope to god this doesn't get passed.

More chance of macron asking diddles to design the new kit

Dyke is a cunt and will kill non league football.

The last bell end who had a proposal of equal fuckwittery was our very own Chairman

 

Make of that what you will

I think part ownership on under 21 players is a way to go.

 

Smaller clubs benifit from developing players, by the big clubs paying them to do it.

Nail on head.

 

Just seen Greg Dyke on TV. C'mon, you wouldn't even buy a used pencil from that guy. "It's backed by the top clubs". You don't say !

Born in Hayes Middlesex "Dyke has jointly supported Manchester United[35] and Brentford F.C. all his life." (Wiki). Nuff said.

 

Don't forget the big clubs wanted the Premier League set up back in the early 90s, one of the aims of which was to develop a much stronger England team. Roaring success they made of that, huh. Well they did fine for themselves anyway, so that's OK. Innit ?

 

I'm assuming these proposed 'B' sides would be entirely composed of ENGLISH players only, since the aim of the exercise is to improve the national team ...........

 

Unlike the average-club turkeys in the old 1st Division at the time that voted for Christmas, this time the League clubs that aren't among the chosen few should really dig their heels in.

 

'But if it works for Spain .........'. OK, let's change the national strip to red & blue; maybe that'll work.

simplistic nonsense

simplistic nonsense

It was indeed

Accrington Stanley are proposing launching their own B team, and applying for them to join the Premier League. Excellent.

We already have a B-Team, they almost won the Prem this year.

simplistic nonsense

Gartside out and all that

Actually it was an idea that the premier league asked gartside to chair a report on, rather than his idea.

Gartside out and all that

 

 

i thought julie was above all that....

 

i could spell it out for the hard of thinking but i fear it would be a waste of time

 

 

 

its up there with plebs nicking uniteds song and singing 'bolton wanderers is in the wrong hands'

 

all these lads need to do is ring eddie up and make him an offer

England U17's on Eurosport now, beltin side.

League 3 is never going to happen. The FA have no real powers over either the Premier League or the Football League. I don't even know why they think that everything should be geared towards a successful national team since most supporters care more about their clubs than they do about England, so why destroy the league just to promote the national team on the off chance that it might deliver some success for the first time in decades? There's more chance of us blundering our way to the latter stages of a competition by sheer luck than suddenly producing a team full of world beaters.

I've backed Gartside in the past but things that have come to light lead me to believe he is a cunt if the highest order

 

I'm not going into it on here but I'm entitled to my opinion

 

If that makes me "hard of thinking" in the view of someone who defends the indefensible then so be it

How do you think the fantastic atmospheres around the world are generated?

 

By you rustling your pom-poms?

I've read the report. Fuck me what a waste of an hour of my life. They point out the problem that English players in the top flight between 18 and 23 only represent 23% of the total in the Premier league. They say that they " English players" are not getting the "game time" at a competitive level they need.

 

They miss the blindingly obvious!!!

 

Football is an 11 a side game, you can only have 11 on the pitch at any one time. So if you have all the money and sign all the young players who show "potential" and have 30 -40 of these per rich premiership club what the fuck do you think is going to happen? Add to this they sacked reserve team football because most agents of foreign players have it written into their contracts that they "don't do" reserve team football.then we end up where we are. That is a lot of overpaid young english footballers who think they have made it on great contracts, not playing competitive football.

 

So because the clubs at the top have fucked it up, then the poor have to disappear!!!! We throw over 100 years of tradition and 92 professional clubs out of the window for a better chance to win a knock out competition that comes around every four years?

 

How much were these guys paid? I heard there was Rio Ferdinand, Howard Wilkinson, Glen Hoddle et al on the committee. Stan Collymore said tonight he was embarrassed to have given his view to that  committee given their recommendations. 

 

Dyke should resign.
