Good for Brittish players then, they will get the jobs and the wages and it's the same for all teams.

Although if they don't manage to get a job over here, they now won't be able to get a job over there.

Given the BREXIT situation I wonder why the Bosman ruling remains applicable in football?

All clubs are in the same position so but of a moot point

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.

I notice this doesn't affect the top end of the market. I used to get fed up when some people would say that all the foreigners in the Premier League are stopping British players from developing. British players needed to up their game and be good enough. We would never have had the growth in the PL without foreigners and I dare say it is having a positive effect on British players, who now have to compete with foreign players.

Agreed with a lot of younger brittish players getting their first opportunities on loan to Championship clubs.

FIFA amended their transfer regulations in response to the Bosman ruling, hence the current system of "free transfers" for players over 23 but a "compensation" system for players under 23.

Gunnersson would have probably had a lot of points?

I doubt it, Iceland wouldn't have been ranked high enough would they?

I doubt it. He was 19 when he signed for Coventry and had made just one appearance for AZ Alkmaar.

Re: Brexit and the Bluebirds

using an online tool it seems that the young striker at Kortrijk Pape Habib Gueye would only get 14 points

My point is Steve Morrisons job of recruitment is no more difficult than any other manager in the division

In fairness to him, he didn’t claim it was.

Re: Brexit and the Bluebirds

An interesting change anyway. Will be useful to see how the change impacts on the quality of the football league and non-league going forward. Can see an argument for how it will improve it, but also how it could negatively impact.

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.
