Man City's Soriano calls for PL 'B' teams to be included in lower tiers

LONDON: Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano believes the English soccer pyramid needs restructuring with the inclusion of Premier League 'B' teams in lower divisions to speed up player development.

"One of the challenges is the EFL is a business that's not sustainable enough. They were discussing ways to improve it ... salary caps, now they were nudged, almost pushed to solve the existing problems because of the crisis," Soriano said. "We have a development gap of boys that are 17 or 18, they don't find the right place to develop and for example they are taken from us by the German teams who try to sell them back to us for a price which is 10 times what they paid."This is mad, right? This is something we needed to solve and now maybe the crisis will give us the opportunity ... to get together and solve these issues.
