LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 It's incredible really how broken English football is. Horrible if you're a young player trying to make it here, there's simply no environment for these kids to make the steps up from u19 to u21 to seniors. Anyway, the usual rhetoric and excuses will come out and nothing will progress. We're lucky the PL can still attract foreign stars, albeit at a declining rate.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The last England 21 coaches Pearce and now Southgate very moderate careers as coach/manager. Yet the F.A. decide they should be in charge of England's best young players why?. Surely it's jobs for the boys and they get these jobs simply because there ex England internationals. They keep saying there should be a root and branch clear out at the F.A. well they can start by making the next England 21's coach a young and up and coming coach like Karl Robinson. Not some failed old has been. I bet someone like David Platt will be the next coach the English F.A are so backward looking it's unreal.

But hell look at that Italy team, they didn't have a single 'senior' player who was part of Italy's XI in their u21s and still made easy work of England.They have to stop, imo, paying these kids so much!! There are 16-19 year olds making more money, in a week, than most people will ever make in a year! How exactly is that meant to keep them motivated? You see Sterling rejecting a £100,000/year contract and think how can anyone offer so much money to a kid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 the FA should change the rules so that there should be something like 4 English players in every team. it won`t stop the cream of Europe and World football coming but it will stop teams like us filling too many squad spots with average players that merely stunt the growth of young English players coming through. it should be something that should happen all over Europe but we should do it ourselves if UEFA aren`t willing. If I recall correctly the Italian FA used to do it. most of England`s pool of talent at the senior level come from teams outside of trophy winning caliber teams..and in the U19 and U21 ranks those who play at bigger clubs haven`t played many 1st team games with their parent club. results behind the senior team don`t matter so much to me but the development of them.
