Brexit and the Bluebirds

[North Cardiff Blue]

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.

Gunnersson would have probably had a lot of points?

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

[The Lone Gunman]

Gunnersson would have probably had a lot of points?

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

Fair enough, he grew up quick and appeared older than he looked, quite mature for a footballer.

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

[Rjk]

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

More power to the workers and unions, a few years ago it would have been shut your mouth or we'll get some Poles/Bosnians/whatever to do your job for less, now it's ok we can look at that.

are you aware of workers rights in most of the EU?
ever been to France?

No I don't really care?

Lots of times why?

The UK has lots of job vacancies and Mick Lynch is now on the TV, UK truck drivers are happy and earning more money, what’s your point?

The Tories are planning to strip us of many of our human and workers rights. Those rights prevented businesses from doing what you say they used to do.

Is that because of Brexit or has the cost of living rises pushed people over the brink?
The majority of people striking are in jobs that can't be filled by unskilled, eastern European labour. Medical staff, train drivers and track maintenance crews, barristers, teachers, telecommunication engineers, tube and bus drivers, airline cabin crews, etc

Partly probably, but it's generally supply and demand problems, it's taking employers longer to fill all positions, skilled and unskilled as they have less choice now, the power is shifting away from employers back towards employees. Wages will have to go up in this stuation, although of course thats not going to help with inflation.
Thats why the BOE have increased interest rates to make it more expensive for employers/business to borrow, so more difficult for them to increase wages, it's going to be a strange year!

It's doing wonders for inflation.

[JamesWales]

It's doing wonders for inflation.

It takes mere seconds to work out the current inflation rates, which for June 2022 are:

European Union: 9.6%
United Kingdon: 9.4%

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

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

[The Lone Gunman]

I'm not a multi, you're paranoid.

You fool absolutely nobody.

Paranoid? Puzzled is what I am. I've never understood why people like you do what you do. Are you really so embarrassed by your own opinions that you have to hide behind multiple personas in order to express them? It's very strange behaviour.

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.
