The Premiership is a destructive influence and the inbalance it causes to all aspects of English football shows no sign of slowing.
Yup, and it's killed any chance of the national team ever winning anything too. Every club does their own thing which means the few training sessions a national team coach does is spent unlearning what the clubs have put into them.
Compare with Germany where the whole country, from youth to national team plays broadly the same way. That'll never happen in England.
Dyke pays lip service to the problem with his stupid B league suggestion but can you really see Pulis and Allerdyce structuring their development and tactics the same way Rogers and Wenger will? Won't happen. As said above they'll all bloat their numbers with promising youngsters then spit the majority out at 21ish for what's left of the starving lower leagues to feed on.
The EPL is no good for anyone but armchair fans and shareholders.
