Fees funding that success, parents attracted to that success also helping justify the higher prices, believing, often incorrectly, that there is a link between between the levels...then, as above, attracting the better kids means you're more likely to win games, and winning can easily be mistaken for development of course.
I think this is a really good way to look at it.Another 5-10 years and you will also be able to see how many kids make it all the way through to senior football from JDL.It will be interesting to see if clubs get the benefit of the finished product of if recruiting will always trump development.
