I agree with all of that. But I just think all the extra players at Premier League clubs that seldom play could be put to good use by lower division clubs and everyone would benefit. Sure there are a lot more loans happening now than ever but there is scope for it to be done even more.
But that model screws the small clubs even more. All the talent is hoovered up by the big clubs and there's no downside for the player, because they have an Arsenal contract AND first team football. The big clubs have all the talent they want under contract and poach all the kids. As a club outside the prem, you're say there with a begging bowl and told to be grateful. No thanks.
And it's sort of irrelevant to ask what would happen if our rich board get bored, because that's the case at Man City, Chelsea, Birmingham, Villa, all the way down.
