How would they get on?

What would happen if Rafa mixed the reserves with squad first teamers and they got promoted to the premiership along with the Mancs, and Arse who would do the same and Chelski who would go out and buy one.

Fookin Chaos, because then all clubs would have twice the revenue coming in and could buy more amd more first teamers.

This is where the problem lies.The reserve and youth team should mirror the PL,gives our kids a chance to play the big names of the future and gauge themselves against The best kids in the country.

eccleston scored for the reserves last week.

He came on as a second half sub and scored a cheeky penalty - it was his reserve team debut

I think the way it works in Spain is that the Madrid 'B' team is ineligible for promotion. You could not allow 'B' teams to compete in the same league as their first team.
