“PL clubs and FA ‘poles apart’ over Brexit”

[Fame Monster]

Which is basically what the PL want, only without the quotas. The FA want to increase the number of English players at the expense of non British players. Your suggestion is a different route to the same objective. You might as well stick with work permits as impose quotas.

True but surely the quota way is the best way at arriving at that objective. By imposing quotas, you're letting the Premier League clubs choose what foreign players they want whereas if it is done via work permits, the FA is choosing what foreign players a club can have after a club has already bought a player.

That would be fair and objective though and they don't like that.

Typical of the clowns who run the FA it’s the same as the home grown rule, they think that a restriction will suddenly improve the quality of English players, whereas the reality is to invest in grass roots football and coaches like other countries. Instead they spend the money on a national stadium getting fleeced as well so now all the matches they control are played there. What the idiots fail to grasp is that clubs have to buy English players to make up the squads pushing up their transfer fees but the clubs don’t really want them hence they play fewer games working against the reason for the rule. Why not allow as many under 21 players on the bench and don’t count them in the 7 subs, this might encourage managers to bring them on if their team is winning?

Recent research in Australia concluded that foreign players in all sports improved the quality of home grown players.
FA seems to be arse about face here.
