Stories in the media reccentley have led me to believe that the English Premier League and as a result the England team are slowly dying, this is for several reasons, the first being foreign players, out of 498 players only 170 were English, thats less than 35%, i think something has to be done, but the question is what, the FA need to promote young english talent in english clubs, as it stands young english players are marginalised in favour of foreign players, teams like arsenal played an average of 1 english player ever 4/5 games last season, which just makes a joke of the English part of the leagues name. The next problem is the FA, theyre root and branch review has so far acheived absolutley nothing, and theyre plan to play a game overseas tells me that they are pretty much anti-england and are on the verge of removing England from the leagues title, Finally the last promblem is the clubs, too many of them dont give young english players a chance and instead play overseas players. What i want to know is what people think can be done to help and whether or not you want to see an English premiership in 10 years time?
Personally im normally against discrimination, but in the case of the English Premiership, i think some sort of quota is unfortunatley necessary, this is because of teams like arsenals ignorance of their English status, i think a quota of 7 or 8 foreign players in a team is about right.
If youre an Enlish football fan, tell me what you think should be done, If youre not but like football, tell me what you think of the situation.
