I see this washed up clown is another mouth piece for end of the lower leagues

With this (which will happen) and the new stream for EFL games the future isn't looking good.

Money at the top killing the lower levels. Like the U.K. business/economy in general.

The obvious solution is for the top clubs to stop buying up all the kids and let them come through the lower league teams naturally. But that requires planning for the long-term greater good, which is not how decisions are made in Britain.

Mid-season breaks and feeder clubs cannot be allowed at any cost.

Over the years we’ve pretty much become a Bristol City feeder club as a way of getting cheap loans

Plus loans from Everton, Birmingham, Fulham, Chelsea and numerous others.

Just the way it works. Over the years we’d be happy for us to subsidize loans going somewhere like Gloucester to get game time.
Not going to make up numbers but I’ve always asssumed loans coming from Bristol City have been on the cheaper side, plus we have the advantage of geography so they don’t have to relocate.

The main issue with the Bristol City loans is they've largely been utter rubbish.

We just need some good Bristol City players coming back from injury like Brooker & Russell.

To be fair, the tvvat made the diagnosis in the first few words. Top teams stockpiling good kids. He just didn't have sufficient intelligence to come up with the obvious treatment
