STATEMENT REGARDING THE FA'S B TEAM PROPOSALS

At the recent members meeting of Trust In Yellow there was unanimous condemnation of the recent proposals by Greg Dyke and the F.A. Commission to reorganise league football by introducing a new League Three containing many B teams from Premier League clubs. Members felt that this would destroy one of the great strengths of English football which is the large pyramid of local clubs.

Whilst it was regrettable that so few English players were in the first teams of Premier League clubs this problem would not be solved by ruining the league system for league and non-league clubs outside the top division. Members also objected to the proposal to allow Premier League and Championship teams to be able to have strategic loans with other clubs whereby they could loan large numbers of players to just one club. It was felt this would just be another way of introducing feeder clubs into the system

Trust members were also very disappointed by the lack of consultation by Mr. Dyke and his commission with fans and their organisations such as Supporters Direct.

Trust In Yellow urges all of its members to show their opposition to these proposals. One way of doing so is by signing the online petition #SayNo2League3 at:- http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/football-association-say-no-to-b-teams
