Slippery Slope Ahoy?

Can see the logic of Prem League B teams. But it's all completely trumped by the imprtance of our footie league pyramid, in my opinion - that all 92 club are serious, professional clubs, with proper local following who feel no need to also support a 'proper club' or anything like that.

It's just not like that in the European countries where they have the B team model. The idea of going (further) down that route is really depressing, I think.
