Well, what do you think they are going to do in the Premier League? Or in National League North, for the matter? We need a physical national competition because football is a physical game.

It's odd you call out the premier league - a league in which less than 35% of the players are domestic in origin, and a league in which an Domestic Manager has never won.


Perhaps to win in that league, you seem to need to import a large body of high skilled players who have developed under a very different mindset

It's odd you call out the premier league - a league in which less than 35% of the players are English, and a league in which an English Manager has never won.
