This is a big part of the problem. How much money of this circa £2billion will be spent on home grown talent and how much is going overseas ? Any money spent on home grown has the potential to trickle down the pyramid If there was a 10% levy on overseas transactions then that would put £200 million into the FA/FL coffers for distribution. 5%=100 etc. (That’s obviously assuming all 2billion was overseas). A sizeable chunk that could be used to put extra funding in to our own academies. Wont happen of course
The simple problem is that money isn’t trickling down.
In general the sad fact is Premier League now don’t look to buy from the Championship and both Premier League the Championship will rather take players from the Premier League Under 23’s and overseas than League 1 and League 2.
Player management is more akin to farming than football for top clubs.

When Manchester City down the road operate City Football Group Limited which has 13 clubs in multiple countries across every age group you are conservatively looking at 3,000 players worldwide on various balance sheets to be traded.
Must be something it it for them and others to operate that model on that scale.
I’m not sure how it can be good for RAFC and others.

Dale managed to exist for years with a model that worked. Can only go off what those involved at Spotland told us.
Tonight’s early goal was a killer. Football fans can see it coming though.
