Ok so I'll hold my hands up and say I don't know much about the Elite Personal Performance Program or Premier League Two. I assume we're not part of Premier League Two as we don't yet meet the EPPP class one standard. I.e. Our training facilities aren't yet good enough? Does anyone know if it's an aim or ambition of the club to be part of PL2 ? I found this very old article by Parish in 2011 which discusses his dislike for PL2 l, obviously times change and he's now siting at the Premiership top table has his changed his opinion? I'm assuming he's fairly principled type of guy and therefore he's likely sticking to his guns regarding PL2. What's everyone's thoughts? Here's the very old article, well worth a read.

Parish's arguments back then would have carried more weight if PL2 consisted of only PL teams, but it doesn't: Premier League 2 Teams in Division 1 Arsenal, Chelsea, Derby County, Everton, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Reading, Southampton, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur Teams in Division 2 Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Norwich City, Swansea City, Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers I presume that Parish's long-term aim is to achieve Category One status for our academy, as he spoken on a number of occasions about looking for a new location, improvements, etc.

Yes I believe Parish is doing all he can to improve our training facilities with the aim of it being EPPP. Do we think once it is we'll want to be part of PL2? Also I understand how class one clubs can cherry pick from other clubs but can they also cherry pick from other class one clubs or would us achieving class one protect us from others? Also does anyone know if new clubs can even join PL2? Or is it a closed shop now that there are 12 teams in each division? Edited by Goldfiinger (16 Jul 2017 11.46am)
