Man City chief believes Covid crisis is 'a good opportunity' to introduce B teams to English football

Ferran Soriano is hoping to see England implement a system like the one in Spain, where several La Liga reserve sides compete in the lower divisions

Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano believes the English Football League is not a sustainable business and has called on Premier League reserve sides to enter the lower divisions.

The coronavirus crisis has hit clubs in leagues below the Premier League especially hard, as matchday revenue has evaporated with fans still not allowed to attend games in the UK.
