This video here is quite detailed and is mostly accurate for a foreign video
It hits a lot of points people have been making, some of the solutions seem easier than others
1) too many foreign players in the a league
2) lack of second division
3) lack of connection up and down the football pyramid
4) expensive private academies
5) over-reliance on physicality on results at youth level
6) the decline of the ais
7) the decline of high profile youth friendlies against other big country
8) not enough games per year at all levels
9) entrance to the afc means lots of our best end up in low quality leagues getting huge money
10) entrance to afc means qualifying less often for the youth world cup
Some of these problems are more fixable than others. 5 arguably is fixed, 2 will allegedly be fixed within a year or 2, 9 and 10 I don't think matters as much as I used to think. Of the remaining only 1 is easy to fix without enormous financial risk. 3 might be fixed in a decade and I would be surprised if 8 is fixed in my lifetime. There is some hope that when P and R comes that will fix 4
Anyway what are people's thoughts
