That's the thing. The Prem will personally check if THEY think the clubs can legitimately pay off their creditors. No "oh, we're refinancing that loan down the line at some point", no "well we can give them 80% of our ticket sales". It's all got to be accountable.
you seem to be expecting independent oversight, strict legislation and rigorous enforcement, but the premier league is run by, and for, these same clubs. every rule, the make up of the committees, what powers they have, every single decision those committees make will be politicised, and the big four are the ones with the political clout.

11 players currently in the squad of 25 so we are well inside those limits already even without the fringe academy players. English / Welsh prem quality players = very valuable now.
Wouldn't it only be Logan, Richards, Onouha, Ireland, Johnson, Weiss and SWP count as they have been here for 3 years before 21.

SSN said we had 14 players who currently qualified in our squad, I'd suggest it's 9 of those listed above (Logan and Hart probably don't count as they are out on loan and as such part of someone elses squad at this point). Given will count surely, Ireland definitely counts as one. "Home Grown" isn't related to nationality in any way, it's just based on length of time at an English club prior to age 21.

Mike 1990 said:Not to sure if Given counts, someone mentioned in a previous post that he misses out by a couple of months.
Correct, Given was born in April 76, he was at Celtic as a youth (Scottish clubs are outside our homegrown remit) and moved to Blackburn in the Summer of 94 which would be just (and I mean just) after his 18th birthday, and therefore he could not do the full 3 years between 18 and 21 at a "Homegrown" club !

Etuhu would be another one, assuming he returns to City and isn't sold.
