cornering the market

After England's pathetic attempt at World Cup glory went straight up the Amazon, there was plenty of time to reflect during the the evenings of June when all interest in the festival of football had evaporated. Now , in my opinion , probably stating the bleeding obvious but the blame lies squarely with the premier league or should i say the top 5 or six therein. They have absolutely no interest in the success of the national team or the development of British football. Instant success and the pursuit of the holy grail being a champions league place is all that is on the agenda . Snaffling players in there development stage ,such as Zaha Rodwell , Jones , and Smalling , sticking them on the bench is a way of stopping any other team from challenging for the champions league. The Obvious next step for Southampton would have been to challenge the elite for a champions league slot, but " we cant have that " can we ? so decimate their team and put them back where they belong . Buy all their players and bench them. So ring fencing the champions league places , suppressing the development of the future England talent. Luke Shaw , brilliant prospect , in world cup squad but........Evra has signed a new contract , leave your tracksuit on Luke . How many of the German , Dutch and Argentians squads were sitting on a bench last year ? Our best young talent need to be playing and playing regularly.
