It's a very good source Joe - as close as you can get without being Johnny or OBCC (I will say no more). Don't have the document, but basically ECB are trying to encourage PL teams to play young players (u21 as at May 1 at start of season). For 2006, if you play two u21s in a game you get 1 point, and 2 points for 3. If you score points in 80% of PL games (ones that start only), then you are entitled to a share of the pot, based on number of points gained. From 2007, it is 3 or more in 80% of PL games to qualify (no points per game, just any club that makes that gets a share). The pool of money available does go up a very large amount over the next 4 years; 38k in 2006, 57k in 2007, 76k in 2008 and 95k in 2009.
