alanmidd 0 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Old Sepp is proposing a limit of 5 foreign players. Can't see how he'll get this past the civil rights laws and I think the big clubs will oppose it but it would be a good thing for International football http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7421348.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wija 0 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 He is pushing it through, and I can't see how they can stop him... I mean the foreign brigade are stopping the home grown lads from getting a job/playing, so they can't use that as a basis for defending having more than 5 foreigners... just a thought! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Blatter will find a way. I personally like the idea. I wouldn't like to go down the Arsenal route where the only Scot is a 19 year old who comes off the bench for 10 minutes. One of the reasons I've been so proud this season is that we have achieved a lot with a Scottish spine. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I've been so proud this season is that we have achieved a lot with a Scottish spine. Looks like it's unnecessary for Rangers; however, it could be detrimental to us as I think such a rule will only inflate transfer fees for the best home grown players, which are already pretty steep. Besides, anything that is detrimental to England's national team must be a good thing... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Heard on the radio this morning that FIFA have passed this and it's proposed to come into place for the 2012 season. Still needs passed by UEFA and obviously European Law is pretty much up in arms. But what Sepp wants he usually gets. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
