Richard Scudamore quite rightly draws attention to the huge sums paid by Premier League clubs which prefer to buy foreign players with a proven track record, rather than investing in the development of home grown talent.
Such a policy does nothing for the future of the National teams in Great Britain. The grassroots development of the game by smaller clubs is not helped either when clubs like Chelsea "loan out" 29 players to "nurseries", even if they temporarily pay the wages of such players.
Nursery clubs need good young talent to help the fight for promotion and the profits from selling a young star.
Premier League clubs receive and share of huge payments for the televising of games. This money is then used to used to ensure more success by buying proven, talented stars from all over the world.
Should the number of players loaned out by Premiership Clubs not be limited ? Should the number of players in the "first team squad" not be limited ? Should rich clubs not be restricted by the number of foreign star players they are allowed to acquire ?
If nothing changes the days when Britain led the world as a football nation may be limited !
