    "David Moyes has revealed he once applied to register an Evertonreserve team to play in the Conference in an attempt to enhance the development of the club's young players.

    The Chelsea manager, André Villas-Boas, restarted the debate over producing more homegrown talent this week when claiming England should follow Spain's example of allowing top-flight clubs to field second teams in the lower leagues. That avenue, Moyes admitted on Friday, was explored by Everton several years ago but was deemed a non-starter following discussions with the Football Association."
    Is it a good idea? What do you think?

    Didnt know this was allowed? 

    Bit shocked when I heard it...............

    Not only that, Everton cant afford to the run the 1st team, let alone have another team having to play 45 plus matches a season, It would be like running another football club!....

    It Would be a Great idea, as the Premier Reserves league doesnt seem to hold much interest?

    we've already got a youth team and a reserve team that we are paying. would it cost a lot more?
