Foreign players

It's a shame and scary to see the old battlegrounds still being debated. Are we not learning anything yet? It's not red versus blue, it's not in or out the EU, the EU is hardly a beacon of democracy nowadays. It's not a Labour government or a Tory government. They're all in the pockets and at the behest of huge finance and huge corporations. Just look at the company the politicians on all sides keep. It's us, the little people versus them, but we're still so filled with the constant propaganda that keeps us split and disjointed. We've all become weak, lazy, uneducated and vulnerable. Anyone still think that Starmer or rejoining the EU is going to change anything? You're joking right? Even if this is the worst government in my living memory, nothing will change, they've all got the same agenda....

I wouldn't worry too much about foreign players either. Very few have been a success here. And anyway.. I thought we were all for developing homegrown talent.. not enough English players in the Premier League etc etc etc

I think you have summed up our politicians and governments for the last few decades. Star man for me.

Biggest problem isn’t that we can’t sign foreign players, it’s that it is much more difficult for clubs in the leagues above us to sign them.

Premier League clubs will hoover up more young British players as they can’t bring in under 18’s from overseas and Championship clubs will be looking more closely at the lower leagues as they’ll struggle to bring in foreign players who’d get a work permit unless they have a huge budget.

Can see this, alongside Wrexham, having a big inflationary impact on British players transfer values and salary expectations.

Hence the importance on having a successful academy. We all know what a great job neil woods does and it would be a worry if he was poached from the role by a team with a bigger budget etc. PH obviously has great communication with ALL of his team and the mutual respect is as light as day.

Evan khouri matured with every game he played and that last game against Wimbledon, he didn’t look out of place whatsoever.

Back to the topic, I read today there are new rules/quotas re work permits.

From Martyn Ziegler of the Times

'Home Office has signed off these new rules for overseas footballers - clubs can have up between 2 and 4 overseas players without the necessary work permit points. The extra is allowed if they give enough playing time to English players.'

2 non visa applicable players now allowed to sign for Div 2 teams !!

So we, and all other League 2 teams, can basically sign a minimum of 2 upto a maximum of 4 players, depending on a few regulations, from ANYWHERE including across the whole of Europe?

If so, that is groundbreaking.

Having a respected and experienced Recruitment Analyst, who could have contacts across the globe, might be very useful. Many lower League teams dont have that option.

how aren't we all dead yet?  didn't the remainers paint it out to be crashing out of europe, going of a cliff edge. mass starvation.

Surely all life would have ended when we supposedly voted out?

Europe's doing worse than us at present.

Imagine the outcry from the bigots of this was made available to any business…flipping mind blowing.

Just when you think this government couldn’t be any more moronic…

Interesting fantasies you have, especially the one about Europe doing worse than us! Inflation is already higher in the UK than the rest of Europe, in part due to Brexit, and it's only going to get worse when we finally start implementing the import checks which we keep postponing:

Brexit isn't nearly finished with us yet.
