The standard is never going to improve much, no matter how much money is chucked at it. The better players will always want to try their luck in England. The rejects are the ones who come 'home' on bigger contracts, sometimes as 'professionals'. The Irish leagues are on a hiding to nothing because most fans are crazy about United or Liverpool
