• 10 Premier League B teams and 10 from the Conference would take part

• 20 of the 25 players in the squad should qualify for the home-grown rule

The big sports news from Thursday was the Football Association commission's proposal for a new division of Premier League B-Teams, which would sit between the current League Two and Conference.

It is a proposal that has stirred up plenty of debate and strong views from the media and throughout the Football League, and we will take a look at the reaction from this morning's newspapers shortly.

It has also whipped up plenty of debate on social media so we want to know, if you were on the FA commission, what would you suggest to help improve the quality of upcoming English footballers? Is there a place, somewhere in the football pyramid, for a competitive division contested primarily by Premier League B teams?

If his application for a British passport is successful, he will be eligible to represent Britain any time after February next year.

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke warns that failure to adopt his plans to improve English football could lead to a bleak future for homegrown talent.

Dyke's proposals, which include a new tier within the Football League to accommodate Premier League B teams, have provoked lots of criticism.

But he tells BBC Sport: "It's not enough to say we will do nothing. His commission, he said, had thrown up analysis that was "pretty damning of the future for English football".
