Happy Face 29 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 If they can show it's about keeping the game competetive, why's there any reason reason it shouldn't go through? Only women are allowed to play womens football. Only men are allowed to play mens football. Only Englishmen are allowed to play for England in internationals. Only the handicapped are allowed in the special olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they nearly wouldn't let that physically handicapped runner try for the normal Olympics as they were concerned his artificial feet were too good.

Happy Face 29 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Premier League clubs have agreed, in principle, to support a quota system for home-grown players. Proposals for developing domestic talent will be discussed further by clubs next month and a new system could be introduced for the 2010/11 season. The most likely outcome is that the Premier League will adopt the rules the Football League will use next season. From August, Football League clubs will have to name at least four home-grown players in their match-day squad. In this system any player who has been registered domestically for at least three years before their 21st birthday is classed as home grown, so for example Cesc Fabregas would be a 'home-grown' Arsenal player. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...rem/8046985.stm Weak as piss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6039 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 So basically you have to have 4 englishmen in your squad of 18, or 4 foreigners who were signed before they were 18years old? Id bet 90 percent of the teams in the league come under this quota already! Man U Scholes, Rio, Neville, Brown Arsenal Walcott, Gibbs, Fabregas, Ramsey Chelsea Terry, Lampard, A Cole, J Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevie Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It should be 7 English players plus 4 foreign cunts max on the pitch but as many as you like on the bench. I think Scotch and Irish should be classed as English though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'd be more in favour if this issue was about raising the quality of English footballers. However this new proposal will do nothing to get talented English youngsters onto the pitch. The whole thing seems to have been motivated by Blatter's dislike of English teams. Well boo bloody hoo. No-one was complaining when the Italians and Spanish dominated Europe. Maybe they'd like to start with making national leagues more competitive, now that would really be something.

I think Scotch and Irish should be classed as English though. I like this idea. Numbers might need tweaking but frankly this latest proposal is a load of shit. 4 home-grown players (they don't even need to be English!) in the matchday squad? Token gesture is all it is. 7 British players, 4 foreigners, end of. Isn't the rule in Spain already that you can't have more than 2 non-EU players registered at a time? But the Premier League is only interested in $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one was complaining when the Italians and Spanish dominated Europe. Maybe they'd like to start with making national leagues more competitive, now that would really be something. Another arguement is that you might even out the playing field for the 20 teams in the Premiership (i.e. that other teams can break into the top 4). But the counter to that is that the Big 4 will still have all the money they presently have and will just use it to buy up the best local talent. That will artifically inflate the cost to purchase local talent and maybe make purhasing decent players even MORE expensive as the clubs will be fighting it out to purchase players out of a smaller pool of players to choose from. All in all, artificially stuffing around with the market may have many unforseen negative effects--even though I do think that the proposal is honourable in intent (as something has to be done to increase the quality of English [or Australian etc. ... insert the name of your country here] footballers in general). Like socialism, good in intent but completely impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Onion 0 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The top teams buying up the best players is a given. The issue here is should something to be done to try to ensure more English (or British) players are playing in the English league. I think it should, although these proposals are so diluted they barely merit the term 'tokenism'. English teams regularly fielding almost entirely foreign sides is an absurdity. As for a 'smaller pool of talent', one of the main by-products of this issue being seriously addressed would be to encourage a much greater effort on the part of clubs to develop home-grown talent. That's partly the point. The very cream of these players most likely will end up at the bigger clubs. So what? That's got to be better for the English game than Manu spending £40mil on two Portuguese kids. The reason the 'big four' aren't going to like it is dead simple: The Champions League, and the feeling English clubs will become less competitive. It's the flip-side of the same reason Platini and co. are seeking to encourage it. While I think UEFA are utter hypocrites on this, on balance I still think it would benefit our game. And Liverpool, Aston Villa and Notts Forest in the '70s & '80s proved that teams made up of homegrown players can win European cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The other side of the coin is Platini is doing this to stop English clubs winning the CL every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
