Clubs To Vote Against B Teams/League 3

Last updated : 04 June 2014 By Covsupport News Service

According to the Chairman of Bradford City, there is a general consensus amongst clubs attending the Football League AGM today in Faro, Portugal that the clubs will vote against plans by FA Chairman Greg Dyke for B teams and a League 3.

"Nobody understands how playing at Conference or League One level can help any player make it to play for England," Bradford City chairman Mark Lawn said to the Press Association.

"There is a general consensus that it wouldn't work and would not be good for our club football either.

"The FA need to go to the Premier League and say they only have so many foreigners but they won't do it.

"The loan system as it is now works better - look at Tom Cleverley. He started at Bradford, went to Manchester United when he was 12, went out on loan to Leicester, Watford and Wigan then went back to United and ended up playing for England.

"If they are going to end up playing for England they need to be playing at least at Championship level."
