Cardiff City set to lose another youngster to Man City

Any change to the rules would probably require the votes of the likes of man city so would not get through similar to the distribution of wealth issue that keeps getting kicked down the road as they don't want to give it away and I am assuming if we had any stay at the top table we would think the same way

This is a similar situation to the distribution of wealth issue that the regulator is going to have to step in and sort out as turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

Hopefully Fans Groups will be able to lobby the Independent Football Regulator to also take a look at this issue as it affects the sustainability of the football pyramid as it's allowing bigger clubs to pick up talented youngsters on the cheap and thereby denying smaller clubs of appropriate recompense.

I'm deeply skeptical of fan groups and anything that doesn't give fans a monetary (and legal) stake in the club. Ideally, I'd like to see all football clubs be at least 50% fan-owned. I'd like to see it as part of the FA requirement for acquisition and management. No matter the size of the club. It'll get shot down in flames but so what? It doesn't make it the wrong thing to do. Better than global syndicates buying stakes in local history and our communities.
