My question has a few points. Firstly, seeing our financial situation is dire, along with many other clubs, should we not look at tapping into the resources of Premiership clubs and become 'B' or 'C' teams but keep our identity? I know this would not go down well with most supporters, but if it meant staying alive financially as well as getting a ready supply of younger/reserve players.

Secondly, although with Brexit probably making this a really difficult thing to do now, but where is our network of tapping into the talent that is out there in other countries? Even Ireland and Scotland must produce some great players for this level, or youth development. I would like to think we have the right people in place to entice some great youth talent to develop.
 
Probably a sensible idea, however the day we become West hams C team is the day i start supporting plymouth.
 
This is exactly what will happen and exactly what we should be doing everything to stop from happening IMHO.
