I did like Scott Davidson, but just saying I want to win a cup or get into Europe are aspirations not a strategy to make it happen. That's a bit like Greg Dyke saying England should aim to win the World Cup in 2022. St George aside he has no power or influence over the Premiership clubs to develop and nurture English talent to make it happen.
Interestingly, the clubs that are doing most to develop English players are the likes of Tottenham & Southampton. Southampton has always developed talent. After their disastrous spending spree off the back of Bale's money Spurs seem to have taken of different tact. Young progressive manager that is nurturing and developing talent from within and buying promising talent like Dele Alli from outside the club. Sounds like a plan to me.
