Not a bad article that.

With reserve-team football in a state of flux, the Premier League is introducing an Elite Player Performance Plan, which will divide clubs into four categories of excellence from 2012-13. Clubs who qualify for Category 1 status will have access to England’s top prospects and, crucially, treble the time that they can coach them. Not that it’s all about coaching, though.

I wonder if we will get into the top catergory for this?

We had to include this for the fm research, I think Chelsea, Southampton and another team are cat 1 at the moment. No idea about us.
