How does that work if the lower league club gets promoted and reaches the Premier League (Bournemouth, Hull, Swansea?) Or if the top flight team gets relegated and drops down to League Two (Portsmouth, Bradford, Luton?)my little theory is that lower league clubs should have paid contracts with prem clubs to take x amount of loanee s and if they produce nothing then their contract will be worth nothing, but turn out a prem squad player or 1 st team regular and when the contract negotation comes around ,, BINGO,, the 0000's start rolling in,, it would defo help the lower lge clubs and help the flow of money down and help the players win win
Who decides which teams "deserve" to force their unwanted young players on other teams, and why should lower league teams be forced to field unwanted PL youth players who may or may not be good enough to improve on the existing players in the squad?
The current loan system works as it is, the 6 month rule introduced this year is a good move in my opinion as are the restrictions on loans for a particular squad. I don't see a need to change, and if I did, this plan doesn't seem to be very well thought through.
