    in recent years there have probably never been more good young English (and Welsh) young players coming through, so the system is getting something right

    An interesting read. I had a poster of Hagi ony wall as a youngster during the 94 world cup.

    Great what he's doing but as mentioned by RJK, things are happening here too. Man City and Leicesters investment in development and training etc spring to mind but I think it goes for all clubs really, certainly the top ones.

    Granted this data is 6 years old, and I'm unsure on the complete accuracy but it is good food for thought. I believe there's been a push in the UK to increase these numbers so they may be a bit inaccurate but England lower than quite a few nations of similar footballing stature which may help to answer your question - less quality coaches, less quality academies. We had one of the lowest numbers of UEFA certified coaches in 2017, as per that data.
