I know, something that doesn't affect us being outside the more money than sense league, but I find it funny how after all the discussions on this subject that he admits to a German paper that German football is better then English!..

But the bit that must be a bit sickening is!..
"We've simply got more clubs who have greater financial potential to compete with the biggest European teams when it comes to buying the best talent," he said."
So, does that mean that English football will stay in the shadows off German football because English clubs can tempt the best away?..
God help English youth if that's the case!..
"more clubs who have greater financial potential to compete with the biggest European teams"
More clubs to compete or more clubs with debt?..
The Premier League might be the best, but he may, or maybe not have realised that year by year the Bundesliga is catching up!..
The Premier League, a league off its own and long will that continue!..
From the BBC!.....

Doesn't say its better at all, says there better at developing good footballers
Am just glad we don't have it like Germany where one club dwarfs every other club and nobody can compete
League over by end of October

In my opinion more clubs need to look at our academy structure. Man City invest a shed load of money in but treat the players like sheep. They herd them and get hundred's of players in the hope of getting 1 or 2. We have a smaller bunch and act like a family. The coaches know their parents well, they know the players. It is just like one big family.

So LIW, starting at youth level isn't the way forward for you?..
He says youth developement!..
That means grass root, and you can believe it when I say the Germans do more for their youth then England do!..
