Shame the Premier League can't put more money into grassroots to help produce the players of tomorrow. The amount of money they are getting from Sky/BT etc they could put that back into grassroots to help facilities and it would create more Amateur and semi-pro teams too.
I would think most professional clubs will argue that they are putting money into grassroots football through their academies. Not sure its the PL responsibility to do anything more than this, that responsibility falls to the FA. If the PL did spread their money about a bit more I would suggest they focus on the 92 professional teams in England, that is where their money could be used better anyway.
