[!@#$%!]

from what i've read about why the prem is so great is also why the english national team sucks-- yes? the ease with which it poaches its targets makes any kind of long-term "farming" (or whatever you call it) a very low priority.

i don't think a shuffling in coaches is going to produce the consistent quality of players you'll need to win anything when you have structural conditions that doom you in such a way.

i forget what i was reading or when where it said that implementing some sort of german system would would require a lot more that just the willingness to do it.

and on that note, thanks h8kurdt for that link-- won't have a time to read it till a few days from now but yeah.
