Feeder Club? (1 Viewer)

[lewys33]

Just had a thought in passing ......

all this talk of feeder clubs for the big spending top prem clubs - is this something sisu could do to us?

Turn us in to a feeder club for a top club in exchange for some wonga? I know clubs are in essence feeder clubs already but could they fully pull the plug on Coventry to become "Manchester United B" for example?

We already are for Northampton

The B teams would not be clubs in of themselves, they'd essentially be the reserve teams of the big clubs.

So no.

They don't allow this in England, we just have reserves/development leagues.

They do something like this in Spain, so the B teams play in the same league system as the top teams but the B team are not eligible for promotion in to the same league as their A team

aren't the fa being asked to "think about it" though? (if I read correctly)

I dont actually think they would do it, just thought it could be a different topic to discuss ending in the usual arguments
