TRL Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Do you think this Will affect us? It seems to me we are held over a barrel. Probably better if we dump the academy if this goes through as I see no benefit for city Edit I forgot the link http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/mobile/football/15381652.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 it's a farce. Premier League are basically trying to take over English Football first the possible attempts to ban relegation now this. Basically, it's a.......we want to take your best young players for nothing OR we we still top funding your youth academies. and the FA are just a limp powerless joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J.Thribb Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 On the one hand the top clubs will argue that it's for the good of the national side, ie the best young players receiving the best coaching. The reality is that this would finally kill off the smaller clubs in the country, shame the FA don't really give two s**ts about anything outside of top flight football.

At least this will give non-league football talent a better chance of being signed into the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Shut them all down, revert to the old system, let the prem find their own talent, and when they fail because of the new home grown ruling the can go **** em selves. We can keep the young talent and sell them on for what they are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 it's a farce.

Basically, it's a.......we want to take your best young players for nothing OR we we still top funding your youth academies. and the FA are just a limp powerless joke - About as effective as the police in a Naples neighbourhood run by the Camorra. Even though he's a Tory, the sports minister was right when he described football as the worst governed sport in the country. It's embarrassing. What has happened to football in this country is a national disaster and shames us. The Premier league behave like a cabal of mafioso. It makes me sick. And their mouthpiece is a City fan. He should be chased out of the next game he attends. The football league should tell the 'EPL' to shove it and leave the money. Premier league clubs are not that well run. Crooked organisations never are. They work on fear, and the promise of more money. The only way the sport in this Country will get its soul back is through strong Governmental action. Football in this country needs to be saved from itself. It needs to be subject to legislation limiting banning foreign ownership of clubs. Clubs are blatantly used as a means to clean dirty money. Just look at our opponents on Sunday. Football clubs could do with an extended period of time where they are no longer attractive investments. If the money dries up, the wheels will fall off and push the game into the crisis that it actually needs in order to get its house in order. Such a situation would actually suit us I think. Especially if we ever get a new ground built. It sounds perverse, but it is the only way that the sport can be prompted to organise itself in a rational and productive way.

Lrrr Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 The football league should tell the 'EPL' to shove it and leave the money. But how many clubs need that money for their everyday running? Like Crewe their desperate for any and all money that comes their way atm with this money already, I had someone over the summer asking me when were we selling Maynard so they would get some money in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
