Ah, of course! Silly me!cibaman said:Pigeonho said:Where it says Premier League clubs, where from the plural do you get that it's an attack on us?
Its an announcement by one of the governing bodies and its been reported in the press. Hence it must be an attack on City. Haven't you been following this (proven) Agenda debate?
Pigeonho said:Is t the sole aim of it, reading between the lines, to encourage clubs to develop and purchase young English players? Isn't it just a case of a hapless FA looking to be seen to do something about it's even more hapless national team?
The problem is that the teams that can't afford a £15m player are the ones that tend to recruit within England anyway.
And if a club has to pass on a non EU player there is no requirement to go for an English player instead. It'll just be more French/Spanish etc.
The FA must want Spanish teams to win the Champions league every season. We will not compete unless on an even footing.
protectionism never works. You need EU players competing against the best in the world to become the best. EU only wont mean more English in any case. Greg D is a knob.

Is this actually a problem? Im pretty sure that when applying for a work permit youresupposed to be able to prove that the player is much better that any alternative options already working within the EU. Im pretty sure that if the player youre trying to sign is good enough then they will still get a work permit.

Almost as bad as the B team idea
FantasyIreland said:can the OP explain why he believes this is a personal attack?
I was thinking the same.
The report I heard this morning was that it would only be Premier League clubs that could bring in non-EU players but they could not then be loaned out.
Seems like the FA are trying to punish the Football League.

It's not purely an attack on City, just as FFP isn't purely an attack on City, yet has pretty much singled us & PSG out whilst others benefit from it.
Do you think that Greg Dyke believes that stopping a few Africans signing for Hull or Leicester, will have any effect whatsoever on England's world cup chances ? Will stopping City or Utd signing one or two Brazilian or Argentinian kids, make a huge difference to the England team ?
Which club is developing the strongest ties to youth football in Africa for example ? Which club is bulilding bases in other non EU countries which will undoubtably lead to sharing some of the best young players from the those countries ? Which club has the biggest & the best academy project & therefore would have the most places available to bring over the best non EU players & train them ? Which clup will have 99% of applications turned down for any players from non EU countries, no matter how good they are ?
What happens when it turns out not to make even the slightest difference to anything so far as the England team is concerened ? What will Dyke's next move be ? How long before a 'quota' of non English players is established if he gets his way ? I'll tell you: he would do it tomorrow if there was a chance the clubs would go for it. Will he suggest it again further down the line ? You fucking bet he will.
If our academy is churning out brilliant kids & we are hugely successful, will the other clubs vote for a cap on the number of foreign players if Dyke suggests it, even though it potentially affects them ? Did they vote for ffp even though it affects them ? Who did it stich up the most ?
Who would this stitch up the most ? Clubs who have no long term plan re youth football other than to carry on as they are, or the club which has spent 200 mil on a new project most of which is to produce young players & has centres all round the world to feed it ?
How many decent English kids would there be to share round all the clubs in the Premier League if a quota on non English was brought in ?
When Utd Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs Everton, West Ham, Southampton etc, are all competing for the same few English players, & we can't sign any non EU players, & there is a quota on any foreign players, who fills the 500 places at our academy ? 450 shite English players, that's who.
Make no mistake, this is phase one. Phase two is no more Marcos Lopes etc, but more Joey Bartons.
