Surely, Scooter, the heart of the problem is doing away with the under 20's and under 18's, which is what we should be encouraging, not losing. This is where the next generation of players should be coming from. If all the reserve numbers at SL clubs are just going to play in the Championship, where is the ambition and desire for our younger players, outside this sphere, to come from? Languishing in the North West Counties? I think not. Just another nail in the coffin.

No 10 clearly isn't and that's how it will end up. But i'll gladly sit back now and watch these clubs slowly disappear but in the meantime they can be pleased with themselves for reducing development costs for the SL clubs. I mean they only get 20x the income of a championship club.

So what figure would you be happy with? My opinion is that if you agree to one DR then you may as well agree to 13.

Ridiculous statement imo. All i will say is i am just about happy with max of 4, which we haven't used this year i don't think. They also couldn't all be from one club. This is only my opinion by the way but if you go past 8 you then become a different club. Ie Wire reserves with a few from swinton on loan.

Still don't get why you think 4 is an acceptable limit but 3 or 5 aren't?

WTF are you talking about at all. Right I'll try and express my already expressed views in single terms for you. UP TO 4 LOAN PLAYERS IS JUST ABOUT ACCEPTABLE and i think that figure has been in place for years. Nothing more to say so don't bother with any more stupid questions.
