In The Times Today

Think it is a great idea even if it did cause us problems short term

Oscar will need a computer to work out his team sheet. The idea is good but it adds complication,

Sure he already has an App on his Ipad for this

 

[Rohana]

Forcing teams to have a certain amount of English players in their match-day squad is only going to do one thing - inflate the value of English players. If we want to improve the quality of young players then we need to overhaul how youth is developed in this country. A Championship quality player isn't suddenly going to become world class because he's sitting on West Hams bench.

Supposedly closes the loopholes for the 72 League clubs but does it put them at a disadvantage when a club is promoted to the Premier League and those existing sides already have imported foreign talent coming through their youth ranks ?

Why does the FL need to do anything about this?

Isn't this why the PL clubs blackmailed the rest of the teams into accepting a system where they get to rape and pillage all the best youth players around the nation for next to nothing compensation so they can all be turned into the next Pele in their super fantatic academies?

Surely after they have done that only the dregs will be left.

Why does the FL need to do anything about this?

Watford tried to get promotion in 2012/2013 by exploiting the rules on loanees.

 

[goldstone]

Some very good proposals. I'm all for getting a much higher quota of English players in the Football League.

 

[B.W.]

Prem problem. Should be a Prem solution. Ridiculous. Why should the FL act in isolation? What are the Prem doing?

 

[maltaseagull]

Watford won't like this

I like these new changes. Hope it goes ahead. We have the perfect manager in that he likes to use kids himself.
