Could we not, stirke up some kind of partnership with a team in a country who's season operates at a different time of year from ours?
During our summer break we could send our youngsters to them, during their break they could send their yourgsters to us. At the very least, it could help us sign more promising youngsters if they knew they would get a trip to US, Australia eg. in the summer. It could also give young players the opportunity to experience different training methods, diets, culture, etc etc. which could be of benefit to the club long term, as this would be something that throughout a players life (playing & Coaching) they would appreciate being given the opportunity.
If the realtionships between the clubs was successful there could be various possibilities, including immediate benefit to the first team and club e.g. loan singnings, sponsors, raising awareness in another country.
Im sure larger clubs in premiership already do this, so there may be competition for clubs with decent facilities etc. but im sure there must be some clubs out there that would be suitable.
Thoughts?
