was it always not inevitable? makes sense to stop duplicating resources, doesn't it?

Wonder what Bramley think about it?

I thought LMS was the tip of the iceberg.

But will the fans of those clubs be happy watching SL reserve matches ?

Not knowing from one week to the next who will be playing for them as it will all be at the whim of the SL clubs coach ?

HTH.

If they aren't then it won't work for the SL clubs, since the exposure to the crowds is where the value is for them. I reckon we'll see some long-term loans, some rotation loans (say Skolars will request one of 5 players from Quins academy) and then the rest of the Championship squad will be made up of FT players bought by the club. While the C clubs would profit from the deal, the SL clubs would be getting the most out of it so would have to tailor the deal to suite the C clubs.

Hopefully.

For example we've offered academy players to TO, but they are only taking up the option this w/e to cover players on international duty.

My reaction,too. The next question is, who's next? Flatcapper alert might be needed here.
