Obv the site is back up and upgraded, obv there's some things that need to be fixed, however I've been at it all day so I'll come back to it tomorrow. Feel free to add to the list here.
Yes, of course. There are five higher ranked leagues. There are 96 clubs in those leagues. If each of those clubs has a core squad of 23 players, that's 2200 players playing in more highly ranked leagues.
That's before you factor in the difference in standards within smaller leagues like the Eredivisie, where you have a small group of teams that are closer to being on a par with the bigger leagues, and are the clubs that keep the leagues coefficient up, while other clubs in the same division are a much lower standard.
Meanwhile we're trying to put together a squad that can hold it's own against the best countries in Europe and beat the mid ranked countries so that we can get back to qualifying for things again. To do that we need to be picking from the top five leagues in the main. Parrott isn't playing in any of them, other than a couple of token sub appearances for Spurs he never has. Hopefully he can get there, but right now he isn't.
