It didn't even cross my mind that this would apply to managers too.

Undoubtedly bad news for us. Our strategy is based on a wide scouting network.

Not surely. More resources into developing talent, less resources into scouting foreign talent.
Most leagues rarely sign foreign U18 players and a lot of leagues/countries produce more quality footballers per capita than England despite having much less resources.
This is a great opportunity. No longer able to ignore the local not so perfect kiddo because there is some foreign kiddo further into his development: instead, needs to put more effort into turning the non-perfect kiddo into something good.
Great for England, potentially great for the PL and great for every single football playing kid in your country.

looking passed the reason for the change, this is sensible isnt it? develop local youth players, rather than foreign teenagers.
Standard of the league to be lowered then

Not seen such Bravery!
Luckily Union SG can still sing them and we can park them there for a bit.
Why does anyone really wonder why Man City, Leicester and albion ( and maybe others ) 'have' Belgian clubs ?

One of the dirtiest football nations in Europe and I say that living in Sweden, not particularly far behind.
Financial fraud, human trafficking, match fixing, agents that literally works for mafias.
Like Kompany said when one of many mass arrests happened the other year:
“If you talk about the soccer sector, you cannot be surprised,” said the defender, who plays for Manchester City in England’s Premier League, during an interview on Belgian TV. “The link with human trafficking, the drug trade and prostitution, where a lot of money goes around, is very close.”

Will this affect us bringing in the Polish lads, or will they be ok as they have technically already signed for us?
No idea but looking at the criterias at least Jakub Moder should have zero problems getting his permit.

This essentially relates to getting a work permit (technically, I think a club could "sign" whoever they want, they just wouldn't be able to get work permits for those who don't meet the defined criteria).
As both Moder and Karbownik are regulars for their club sides, and are now full internationals, I would expect them to meet the new criteria.

I'd love to read the official club view of this and how or if it affects our strategy going forward in 2021. It's been given a good spin, but it doesn't feel so good to me for standards or development opportunities.

With the U21s, do they have to satisfy the criteria (points system) of international matches, club status, etc, etc., or does that only apply to players over 21?
All in all though, seems pretty straight forward. Who'd have thought it?

I'm sure Ashworth has scouts on the Isle's of White and Man.

Not sure that correlates! We have a very good crop of youngsters that have come through the current system.
