Will Academy players start to chose only the Championship Circus and 'manoeuvre' between clubs at that level over a season leaving Level 3 with very much fewer opportunities to offer playing time to young players from upstairs? Seems likely - do you think?
On the other hand will Level 3 be used as a fitness proving ground for Academy players coming back from injury or early day trialists playing at a level some what below Championship?
No doubt Richard and Co have their own thoughts as to the effect on BMR.
