Ridiculous! The B teams already play in the League Cup, don't they?

Fair compromise I would say. It cannot be allowed to create a league three. I think this benefits all parties suitably

devalues it
but how much value does it have anyway?
would liked to have won it one time though.

...but is the stalking horse for them to take over the places of smaller clubs in the league.

Until its Arsenal vs Chelsea in the final every year, then this will be the worst decision ever made

As long as this is all they get I would accept if it means no league three, if they expect more and more each year then no I wouldn't want it

Agreed. Bad news if that's the case. Start with JPT.....show what a success it is.....then use the extra tv money as a sweetner to allow them to properly implement the B teams, which will make little difference to player development

When they say B teams do they mean under 18's ?

This is probably a condition of Sky throwing a few quid in to show JPT matches

In which case, refuse the cash.

#FixFootball thinks the fit & proper test is where the problem lies. It's much bigger than that and involves all of the alleged football governing bodies and their endless pursuit of money.

...and the short-termism of fans, dare I say it.

This. Fuck the consolidation of footballing power.
You want to make the JPT more interesting and give young English players a platform? How about funding lower league clubs properly??

God forbid No and take away money from the top 6 richest teams.....
They will be crying poverty as they have expensive wages to pay their overrated players.

we might get knocked out in the 1st round then
No I think we could surprise the hotshots from League 2.

Sounds rubbish to me, JPT may not be a prestigious trophy but it should be kept exclusively to lower league teams.
What attendance would Swansea reserves vs WBA reserves have at Wembley?

Just seen the idea proposed would also have a group stage, don't lower league clubs have enough fixtures already?

Exactly, the whole argument of allowing this is to give young English players experience as apparently playing against Fleetwood on a Tuesday night will help you prepare for Argentina in Qatar. But if it's an Arsenal or Chelsea youth XI full of kids shipped in from Africa or France or wherever surely it defeats the purpose of the whole exercise.

It's the turkeys-voting-for-Christmas of the Elite Player Performance Plan all over again.
