The Dutch League isnt the strongest but without TV money its so difficult to compete with England, Spain and Italy. However the standard is still good. Its not like clubs from the 3 big leagues look at the dutch league as some low standard and question whether its players can play in there own leagues. If anything they look at it as a great place to get quality for cheap.
Only a fool would think I am endorsing British football academies, had you actually read my views on academies you may realise that I am one of the biggest critics of it. Yet, that is not even the point in debate.
Your posts have an anti-British tone to them, borne out of our foreign policy in the middle-east.
Once again, you miss the point entirely about talent and the strength of the league. We don't produce talent in the same vein as Holland and yet our league is significantly ahead in its overall quality and organisation.
It's not solely down to TV money, it's a combination of factors including population, attendances, lifestyle and history.
tv money isnt the only factor but it plays a huge part. Without the foreign players the english league becomes one of a not so great standard. 10 years ago English sides would struggle to beat Bronby in Europe let alone Barcelona. Its no coincidence that the best 3 leagues get the greatest amount of tv revenue.
just to make u happy yes I'm anti british. lol
