It seems like PL clubs at least are slowly grasping the importance of these kind of deals. Surely can't be long before it filters down into the Championship too.
I don't necessarily mean like Barnsley's pound shop Red Bull model, but with the Brexit moves shifting recruitment emphasis, having partnership agreements with clubs throughout the UK is going to be hugely beneficial for scouting etc.
In an ideal world you'd have a 'feeder' club in Europe too to help potential signings achieve GBE requirements. That's obviously a bit above our station of course but I'd be very surprised if majority of PL teams don't have one soon.
