Sounds harsh but what’s the future of these clubs currently?
Don’t you think it might actually help these clubs raise their profile and raise funds? Imagine a club like Accrington or Plymouth playing Utd B...surely they would get bigger crowds?
It would never happen, there's loads of big teams in league one and league two. Sunderland and Portsmouth for example are two teams who were recently in the PL have are stuck in league one, both have 20k+ stadiums. It's not comparable to other countries that have B teams because the football league is so well supported at lower levels.
The best option really is the loan system, though it is hit and miss. But the reality is players that aren't ready for the top level need to develop somewhere first. Someone like Januzaj for example had a bad loan spell at Sunderland, it didn't help him but he's made a decent career for himself.
Andros Townsend said going on so many loans at a young age with no support system nor any how to live, cook on your own really caused him to struggle, and affected his mental health / later gambling issues.
But the alternative is to never play at a higher level. Overall a lot of players go on loan and gain good experience.. the likes of Tuanzabe, Smith Rowe, Mount, Tammy Abraham, and Kane and Lingard further back. If you're good enough it'll show at lower levels. Never watched Mejbri but if he's as good as people say he'll likely be in the Championship next season.
