PL clubs have too much money and not a lot seem to think rationally and business wise. They all seem like kids in a sweet shop. It only ever seems to hit home when they are relegated and a fire sale ensues.In other news, managerial genius Louis Van Gaal lost £15m after the transfer of Angel Di Maria to Paris St Germain.
There is no excuse for the paucity of talent coming through to the England setup. The FA has failed with all of this and partly its down to the fact that the PL clubs just stick two fingers up at them. All of the clubs should have youth football at the heart of their setups and all of them should make sure they have decent coaches and a decent setup and plan of action ie strategy for how they are going to bring them through into say the SAFC or Stoke city first team.
surely any clubs dream would be to have a first team full of their own home grown talent. although that might be utopia thats surely what clubs should be aspiring too and plugging the gaps with foreigners where they dont have their own home grown talent. We and the other PL clubs seem to do it the other way around.
the previous youth setup didnt work either but they stuck a new name on it ie calling them Academies and built some shiny new buildings to house this new name in. at the end of the day though England are even further away from winning an international tournament than when they introduced these shiny new buildings and this shiny new name.
in other words; its failed.
We are even importing foreign kids into our youth systems so that our lads have even less of a chance. Pathetic.
