If B teams had been in the league before now we'd most probably have been relegated into the non-league decades ago and we'd be lucky to have any sort of professional football club in the city.
It's all very well saying "admit B teams at the lowest level of the pyramid", but it has a negative impact at every level of the sport.
Say, for example ten B teams make it to Conference level. That means ten actual non-league clubs would be denied promotion in the process.
For every B team which makes it to league level, it means a current professional team has to be relegated to make space. This has a knock on and damaging effect at every level of the sport.
It's entirely different in a bespoke cup competition, but the impact on the pyramid of admitting these teams into the competition would be entirely negative.
Just out of interest, how would the transfer window and budget cap apply to B teams?
