this is what he said
"The League is incredibly powerful and a brilliant export item. It is a brilliant piece of commercial wizardry. But it has attracted many foreign players and sometimes the best England players are on the bench with their clubs.
"I can't address those issues now and I found it difficult when I could have had some influence."
n response Barwick admitted: "People want things to change, but there are blocks in the road. It doesn't suit every party to see things through.
"There is a lack of coaches and there has always been too much emphasis on the commercial side.
"Sir Trevor Brooking is one of the few football people at the FA, but hasn't always won the argument because of commercial considerations, and he probably didn't win all the arguments when I was there either."
