Found this on then EPPP. Very interesting article. http://the4thofficial.co.uk/2012/04/02/the-truth-about-the-eppp-progression-or-destruction/ And then you read this... http://m.thisissomerset.co.uk/story.html?aid=18608779&category=sport Burnley's already panned their centre of excellence as well.
Unbelievable. I hate the EPL more and more each week. They really don't give a **** about anyone else.
The most depressing thing is that I'm not in the least bit surprised by any of this. The premier league only cares about money, the millionaire players and the elite member clubs, they don't give a **** about the pyramid system and the grass roots. I hate the premier league and everything it stands for.
The Championship should really be just that, the be all and end all of the football league. Win it and be declared champions, no promotion just start all over again the following season and lobby for inclusion in european competition. Let the premier league just get on with it's own business and stop wasting our time and boring us stupid. Cancel your sky subscription now and reclaim the game.
Sky is a major factor in all that is wrong with the game and they could be forced to listen and change if enough people really wanted it.

I'm seriously considering ditching our Sky Sports, though it's fair to say I'd miss it given that I watch/enjoy so many different sports (including on Eurosport). I can't argue with Mario's point that it is probably the main driver behind all that is wrong not just with football, but with most of the sports it covers. You only have to look at how crooked and protectionist Super League is becoming to see what those at the top are prepared to do to protect their place at the top table, and **** everyone else. Something has to change.
