So apparently the FL Trophy will allow U23 sides but 4 players will be allowed to be over 23.
And group phase draws will have a penalty shoot out to see which team gets an extra point.
Jesus wept. What is happening to the game!

England's Euro shame will bring the idea of getting PL U21 sides into the FL back in focus. The usual guff about talented youngsters not getting first team experience blah blah blah.
It is the FA's and PL's own fault. Hoovering up talent just so that someone else doesn't benefit, amassing squads too large for the competitions that they are interested in taking part in, bringing in overseas players who probably don't justify the hype. A case in point could be Ibrahimovic and Rashford at MUFC - it would be a shame if the former dents the latter's chances of being a first team regular.
If the PL wasn't so awash with money, home-grown U21s would be getting the first team experience the national team supposedly needs.

Be time outs at live games for ads at corners etc in the near future, some clown will think that's a good idea.

I was in Malta many years ago, watching Italian football and they had adverts when the ball went out for a corner, goal kick or throw in. Awful.

They still haven't released the full details as yet so this could get even worse

The import of foreign "talent" and approach of big clubs to youth recruitment are indeed issues, but there is little evidence to suggest that giving the English players a chance will do much for the National team - we were shit before the PL.

Unfortunately, the lack of evidence won't matter to those who will push for PL U21 teams entering the FL.

So it is not just PL teams entering their kids teams (or U23's with 3 overage players plus overage keeper) - I see Newcastle are listed as well Arsenal Chelsea Everton Leicester City Liverpool Manchester City Manchester United Middlesbrough Newcastle United Southampton Stoke City Sunderland Swansea City Tottenham Hotspur West Bromwich Albion West Ham United I didn't realise the prize fund was so poor: £10k for a group stage win £5k for a group stage draw £100k Final Winner An excellent breakdown of it all is here http://www.ciderspace.co.uk/ASP/news/news.asp

More Nonsense
Strength of Teams
Invited Clubs – 6 of the starting 11 to be U21 (as at June 30). It should be noted that there are no restrictions upon those players selected having to have any connection with that club's Academy.
