The recent FA proposals have got nothing to do with improving the English national team and everything with exercising the power of the Premier League clubs by turning the lower leagues into their plaything. You've simply fallen for the spin that it will help the England team.
I haven't fallen for anything - im against the proposal. i just find it funny how everyone calls for us to adopt system following $successful_country but dont actually want what that entails.
for me the solution partially lies in coaching but also in getting rid of the three way split of FA/FL/PL. later will never happen, maybe we can hope for some improved coaching approach. but as of August no one will really care much about the state of the England side until the next round of qualifiers. we just dont give the priority to the national side in this country, we are club first.
