As long as the Greed League has its sticky fingers in it I havent the slightest interest in this charade.
I hope we put our U-23s team out and take the EFL all the way to the European Court of Arbitration for Sport when they try to fine us for playing a weakened side. I thought the Prem teams were brought in so the tournament is good for developing young English players Shaun? But if we're not allowed and have to play Thiam, Cavare, Pinillos, Hedges, Bradshaw, Davies instead?
They were put in as a way to make it like some of Europe where big teams have b teams instead of smaller teams thriving. This is the first step. No point dressing it up. I will never attend a game in this competition like shy talk said
2 years ago it was a true lower league tourament. Premiership youth teams were introduced the year after we won it
