Not seen this before but if true it makes for grim reading.
The individual in question supposedly studies football law and claims the following.
In the event of GB leaving the EU, any players within the Eurozone will need to have earned a percentage of caps in the last two years, to sign for a club in the UK.
In other words if true the signings of Knockheart, Vicente, Kucszak, Calderon, Ulloa, Bruno, Orlandi, Hemed, Spanish Dave would not have been possible.
Anyone else heard of this? Is this something to do with the need for work permits?
If he's right, English football will change dramatically with a greater reliance (and premium) on home grown talent.
Could we be seeing the demise of the foreign import outside of the BPL?
