Like in Spain and other leagues there are some sides with B sides which operate in lower leagues on a non promotion basis the most famous being Barca B. These sides help blood in youngster and operate as an alternative to U21.

Would you be for or against this in English football eg Chelsea/Leicester/Newcastle buying a financially struggling club like Northampton or Dagenham and Redbridge and turning it essentially in Chelsea/ Leicester/ Newcastle B. Would you be for or against?

Wouldn't you end up with the bigger/richer clubs just dominating the next league down then as well though?

because the richer clubs have got so many players they can start a B team, or even a C team

Man Utd have had links with Royal Antwerp for years. English clubs should have done this kind of thing years ago.
