Premier League clubs have pledged their backing for the
FA commission which is to be set up to try to boost the development of England
players.
The 20 club chairmen convened with FA chairman Greg Dyke
on Thursday to discuss the issue and it was agreed the clubs, the Premier
League's board and leading officials would all make a contribution to the FA
initiative.
Dyke is concerned about the diminishing number of English
players at the top level of the Premier League, and the subsequent detrimental
impact this may have on the national side.
"There is no doubt around the Premier League table
as to the benefits of a national set-up that is thriving and performing
well."
