Premier League B Teams

[Beefy]

no not for 9 months - its not going to happen for the forseeable future. Kavanagh and Harvey were very clear on this at the Fans forum and took a lot of (difficult) questions on this at the Fans forum

Interesting. So the sky isn't going to fall down? Wow, who saw that coming?

Not so much as a Premier league B team topic, but more of a Academy topic,

Anyway it would appear that Liverpool have been handed a £100,000 fine and 2 year ban on tapping up other young future prospects from other clubs in the EFL, after being caught for breaching the rules.

Do you think the punishment is a bit harsh or spot on?

Also, am I right in thinking that we got something in the way of compensation from that young lad that moved to Man City at the beginning of the year?

I all for change,as long as it dosent hurt my club financially,less distance to travel i think would be good also for you supporters.Also believe change should start at the top ,meaning the FA, from what i can understand most of them in office would be better warming a rocking chair on a back porch in some god forsaken little country village.:smile:

Did you mean soft?

Ban them from registering new players for 12 months.

Soft,...Yeah perhaps.

What do you mean by banning them from registering new players for 12 months?... They have been banned for 2 years. Do you think the ban should be reduced? or do you mean signing all players (including signing any 1st team players also?) If so I personally think that's harsh.

In terms of the £100,000 fine, i'm not to sure who that goes to? (is it Stoke in terms of compensation?.. or direct into the pockets of the Premier league?).. Either which way, considering it was only 100K, that equates to about a single Liverpool players weekly wage. IMO it should have been more like a £1million+ in order to to really hurt them in the pocket.

It'll go to the League if I'm not mistaken. Liverpool had already agreed compensation with Stoke for the player, and it was only their incompetence/underhandedness (delete as applicable, defending on which defence they used) that caused the deal to be scrutinised as it now has been.

Ludicrously soft punishment though.

All players.

If it's a fine I suspect it goes to the FA's Christmas party (or at least pays for charitable donations to give the FA good publicity). If it's compensation it'll go to the aggrieved club.
