About bloody time someone did something

---------------------------------------

FA chairman Greg Dyke has warned Premier League football is in danger of "having nothing to do with English people" as new proposals to limit the number of non-EU players are outlined by English football's governing body.

Under the proposals outlined by the FA on Monday:

A player will have to have been registered with his club from the age of 15 - down from 18 - to qualify as 'home-grown'.

The minimum number of home-grown players in a club's first-team squad of 25 will increase from eight to 12, phased over four years from 2016.

At least two home-grown players must also be 'club-trained' players - defined as any player, irrespective of nationality, that has been registered for three years at their club from the age of 15.

Only the best non-EU foreign players will be granted permission to play in England.

"Only the best non-EU foreign players will be granted permission to play in England."

Who decides which players are the best though, surely that's subjective?

Sort of.

There is a sliding scale of a minimum of % appearances for your national team in the last 2 years depending upon whereabouts they are in FIFA rankings.

30% if ranked 1-10.

75% if ranked 40-50 Max. (currently top 70)

Just so I can get this straight in my head.

Your saying that bringing in unlimited numbers of foreign players rather than spending money and time training your own, is bad for your national team as is ruins the indigenous young people's chances of getting a place because the clubs cut back on training and recruiting because it's cheaper and they can make more money importing labour, I mean footballers!
