No, Chelsea B would be a completely new club, it would have to start from the lowest division and climb its way up. I know it is unthinkable, but Barcelona B (for instance) is a totally different club. I get where you are going and I am leaning towards agreeing with you, BUT I think it would be much more benifcal to our potential stars to play in lower divisions than in reserve games. This could really make a difference in their development (just ask anyone in La Masia). I don't think we would downgrade any of these teams by creating a youth team, they would lose how many players, 3 or 4? It is not like 30 teams will create a B team...
