Realistically, pro/rel is a long, long way off. We have to get to a point where there are 16 stable first division clubs to even begin to entertain that thought. Baby steps...
Ozy Flame, I think each market will be different. My guess is that most CPL clubs will work with the existing youth clubs, as providing a place for the best local players to play pro benefits both the youth and pro clubs. Some CPL clubs may be the brainchild of existing youth clubs. And some CPL clubs start their own academies.
