I think he'll let you have Coventry, though, Jimmy. :-)
Not sure about Rotherham in that mix, and Fleetwood are being bankrolled.

B teams in the Football League to replace teams that have gone bust is being suggested again by, among others, Brighton's Technical Director. So faced with the prospect of the lower tiers of the football pyramid going bust, the Premier League clubs' reaction isn't to think how they can help out but how they can exploit the distress of historic clubs the game is founded on for their own gain. Wankers.

I understood that B teams was the price we had to pay for getting a survival handout from the PL - in which case, none should go bust.

Tbh, they only want to get experience for their young players - surely the loan system achieves that already.

No mention of a handout in the report I saw, just naked self-interest dressed up as "sharing resources"

Just read this and put 2 and 2 together

‘Parry said they would help Premier clubs send youth loans to EFL clubs if they needed them. I think that’s a great idea. In the short term. Doesn’t make them B teams. Prem are willing to give EFL cash if Prem start. I wouldn’t be knocking that idea either.’

If the big clubs take advantage of this and get partner clubs or b teams out of it then I’ll be done with football.

Sorry but who's that a quote from? Someone claiming to paraphrase Rick Parry and is the assertion that the Prem are willing to give EFL cash from Parry or this bloke you're quoting?

Journo

He reckons if the PL restarts they are willing to give EFL clubs a handout. I was presuming that in return they’d press for B teams again.

Only me surmising.

OK, but was this in a private conversation with said journo or (presumably) something you've seen quoted in an article or on Twitter? Not doubting you, just wondering where it's come from (e.g. if it's someone with a track record of being on the money, correspondent for one of the nationals or just some random bullshitter who strings for PA)

Who the hell do Brighton think they are, Billy Big Time?. Given their recent history you would think they would be more appreciative of the lower league situation.

If we hadn't sold them Gordon Greer....
