Brexit and the Bluebirds

Re: Brexit and the Bluebirds

I guess that depends what your point is or if you even have one.

From my perspective, it’d be interesting to know which foreign players City and other clubs would have been unable to sign had the Brexit rules been in place in the past. For instance, would Leicester have been able to sign Riyad Mahrez? Would Coventry have been able to sign Aron Gunnarsson? I’ve no idea, but it seems unlikely.

That's it cancel Brexit. Signing Riyad Mahrez for Leicester is far more important.

It’s high time you were cancelled, but no doubt you’ll slope off soon enough before reappearing under yet another new username.

More important than... what, in your eyes? What's Brexit achieved for our nation in the 6 years since the vote? What positives have outweighed the negatives?

Re: Brexit and the Bluebirds

it won't affect the biggest clubs, as they can still pretty easily buy who they want, and if there's a real issue many of them have tie-ins with foreign clubs.
it will make it more difficult for smaller EFL teams to close the gap with the established premier League clubs, as we have a smaller pool of players to choose from.

I see your rationale, but maybe that's the case, maybe not. But the gap between the biggest clubs and the rest only got worse in the 1990s-2020s, so hardly an endorsement of the status quo.

Changes in things like this can bring about unexpected changes in outcomes.

I'm not a multi, you're paranoid. And stop making anti Brexit posts, then pretending it's otherwise. Absolutely nobody is convinced by your protestations. But...But... "Riyad Mahrez to Leicester!" i hear you cry... LOL

We have removed the Democratic Defficit between the electorate and the beaurocrats . I'd say that's pretty big...Kevin.

Is it removed?

Our head of state is unelected. The house of lords is full of unelected peers who hold their position for life. And our next Prime Minister is set to be chosen by only 200,000 people out of ~45million eligible voters.

And you think another layer of distant bureaucrats help with your complaint? LOL

Re: Brexit and the Bluebirds

Plenty of threads for Brexit arguments.

I actually found this one quite an interesting, informative (and respectful) one about the real life impacts of leaving the EU on Cardiff City.

That's nice James, i suppose the law has been layed down then. But the OP was actually a Brexit post.

"another layer"? So it hasn't been removed then?

I'm not sure my opinion carries any weight in law, although I admit I haven't read the withdrawal document in full. Would be a welcome surprise to me if it does.

Yes it has, we have left the EU Kevin.

So there's no democratic deficit in the UK now we've left? The UK is now a perfect democracy?

Have a read of this then. Bearing in mind this document is fact not opinion
