Tim Sherwood - Feeder Clubs

Most ex-football players don't seem to be proper fans for the simple reason they spent all their Saturday afternoons playing not watching from the stands. They just don't get what it means to the supporters. I'd rather Grimsby scored one more goal in a meaningless end of season game than I would see some international conglomerate that happens to play in this country do better in the (non) Champions League than they might have otherwise done. As others have said we have the loan system. Playing in front of passionate supporters who care has to be better for players than performing in front of a few hundred "anoraks" checking up on their B team.

The thing you need to factor into this is that Tim Sherwood is a bit of a girl private.

It's been illegal since about 1995 as well.

(although that may change soon)

I meant selecting it employing.

Just a bit?

Always has been a complete twit and was a flipping useless manager

PS hasn't stopped raining in frigging Bury.

There is no doubt that big clubs should develop relationships with a feeder club but the relationship should be mutually beneficial.

Players need to be comfortable playing multiple styles, especially when you look at how often clubs change managers and their differing beliefs on how the game should be played.

They shouldn't be guaranteed game time because that would be detrimental to the morale of hard working players that the club own and would also would not teach the young players that success is a result of hard work.

I think what we are doing with Famewo is good. He is around the first team squad and has to earn his place in the starting 11.

The principle of what Sherwood says makes sense but the English football pyramid is much more developed and stronger than that in Spain. There are 72 Football League clubs; all of which are full time; and most of the 24 teams in the Conference are full time. Add in the 20 Premier League clubs and you probably have 110+ full time football teams in this country.

Nick Pope, Chris Smalling, Kieran Trippier, Dele Ali, Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Joe Hart are just a few examples of players that have made the England squad having served an apprenticeship of some kind away from the academy system.

So prem clubs are hoarding so much money and players to themselves that they can't play them in anything meaningful for years. So they are the cause of their own problems. Yet sherwood expects lower league clubs to be destroyed to mitigate this in order to fractionally improve the chances of some highly paid players improving more than they would otherwise. Rather than use the loan system that already exists.
What a complete male masturbator

What was the ref, our defence and Macca doing there?

No wonder the buffoon hasn't got a job
