whelk Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Plans to include PL U21s. Crp idea? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/03/19/premier-league-in-negotiations-for-under-21-teams-to-enter-johns/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadhall Saint Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Could work but I don't understand why they don't just have reserve teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Absolutely ridiculous idea. Why ruin the chances for lower league teams to win something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Crap idea. I think the JPT is an important ( or should be) cup for lower league teams and should stay that way. It should be a competition to give lower league sides a really chance of a Wembley cup final not a reserves cup for Pl teams second string/youth players.

tobes8 Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Not just winning but an opportunity to increase revenue. Crap idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Nah, I like the JPT, it's a good chance for the smaller clubs to win a cup final and one of my favourite League 1 memories. If anything I think the League Cup should be an U-21 competition with a max of 3 overage players lowed in any given squad. That competition has always just struck me as a slightly naff 'FA Cup light' where half the clubs only put out their reserves anyway and can't really be arsed.

buctootim Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 It would be good for the U21s and bads for lower league teams. I agree with Lighthouse, the JPT cup final was brilliant and should be reserved for the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 20 March, 2016 Share Posted 20 March, 2016 Bad idea, and IF it does come about, I hope that they disallow have players returning from injury, like JRod, from playing. The PL is desperate to try and blood their youngsters in competitive games, but refuse to give them PL playing time. The U21 competitions aren't considered good enough and there was talk a while back of them wanting to have reserve teams in L2 and L1. The PL seemingly couldn't give a toss about lower league sides so long as they're OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 21 March, 2016 Author Share Posted 21 March, 2016 Imagine say an Everton v Stoke final at Wembley. Would only have to open one section of the ground. Although imagine us v Pompey. You'd have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
