In addition, China, India and Singapore have their own home-grown industries, while South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines are rapidly increasing healthcare spending. "The tide towards production in pan-Asia is something that’s not going to stop," said Bartholomew. "It’s just a question of the measures that are put in place to do it the right way.
Clubs must raise game to polish local gems

And the paying public wouldn’t buy into it, which could have dreadful repercussions for the terrific spectacle that is Premier League football. A better balance needs to be struck between imports and developing home-grown talent - like there exists in Holland - but that should not be achieved by quotas. Foreign players have raised the bar as far as English football is concerned and now the gauntlet has been thrown down it is up to our clubs to raise their game in terms of nurturing local talent. Players like Rooney will rise to the top thanks to their natural flair but they still need coaching. The Middlesbrough Academy manager Dave Parnaby, who used to coach Michael Owen as an England schoolboy, has certainly done a great job on Teesside and his club have an enviable record in terms of developing their own players.

, but was told by team officials that they had no plans to use him in the majors. Once they reach a certain age, McDowell said pitchers like Carlyle can easily get stuck. Many teams would prefer to fill a roster spot with a home-grown youngster rather than a lesser-known free agent signing. And at first, that’s what the Braves did, calling up 24-year-old Anthony Lerew instead of Carlyle when Mark Redman didn’t work out. Yet Carlyle said he didn’t need a major-league call-up to validate what he was doing. “People that get wrapped up in this level of baseball have no idea what people do in the minor leagues or how they play,” he said. “They just look at a career and the 10 big-league games somebody’s pitched and say, ‘Oh, this guy’s a failure.
Kilmarnock 2 - 1 Dundee United

The national manager took his seat to see a decent display from the United captain. McLeish would have been gladdened to see Kilmarnock fielding a side containing 10
Scots. Only Englishman Simon
Ford at centre-back prevented a home-grown clean sweep through Jim Jefferies’ line-up. Four points from the opening two games represents a solid start for his team. Kilmarnock started crisply, dragging the United defence across the width of the pitch, but it was Robson who was presented with an opportunity to draw first blood. Alan Combe made an unconvincing advance from the home goal to gather a loose ball and the midfielder nicked in front of him to steal possession. Robson turned smartly but, from a tight angle, succeeded only in sending a half-hearted chip back into Combe’s arms.
