B leagues

[The jiffle king]

Just read something on the BBC website about a B league and allowing the Premier league teams to enter a B team into the league. Thought is that this would sit between league 2 and the conference with teams potentially being eligible for relegation and promotion.

This happens in Spain and Germany and works well, but I wonder what is the thinking of the teams lower in the conference?

Could be something to tackle the stupid loan system we have .


Not good news for the smaller clubs i feel ,

I think a B team would destroy the lower divisions, couldn't the premier league clubs invest in a local smaller team and loan players to them in order to benefit both parties?

Good news for the top 5 or 6 in the prem, probably bad news for everyone else. A Chelsea B team would end up in the Championship in no time I would have thought.
