I don't know why Brexit hasn't been talked about more in British football. It's going to be a complete clusterfuck if we're back to the days of EU people counting as forriners.
Yep - if there is no freedom of movement (as is suggested) then the Premier League as we know it comes to an end. I think they are just trying to pretend they are above it.
Surely there's too much money involved for them to allow it to be fucked about with too much.
Actually, what are the rules that British clubs are subject to in both domestic and European competitions?
The Champions League is home grown quota now only, no? In which case, and if the Premier League operates the same type of thing, maybe it doesn't matter.
It's home grown in both, the bigger issue is whether the same numbers of players will be able to get into the country without freedom of movement.
Not really. Highly paid professionals aren't really going to be on the immigration hitlist, are they?Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Nor medium paid ones, or perhaps even low paid ones.
Yeah, if it's all homegrown as far as the competitions go then the rules for coming here will just be so slack that almost anyone that has even once touched a football will be allowed in. Think how the 'fit and proper person' test used to be.
There's not much difference between Jamal Smith and Papa Bouba Frimpong anyway. A smaller influx wouldn't see the world cave in, so long as the best can still be signed.
On Holloway, he's always been a thick twat. Good to see him embarassing himself.
Maybe stockpiling youngsters might be problematic though.
You'd be surprised. The Home Office are cunts. The top people will get in but they will easily argue that there is an equally skilled British equivalent to Martin Montoya.
At the very least I think the days of lower league teams bringing in a trendy German manager and loads of his own players will end.

Yeah and I'm convinced that if it would have been a larger part of the initial debate about Brexit (here's how Brexit would affect YOUR club), the vote might have been quite different. I reckon a lot of people who want it themselves don't actually realize that it might affect the things they like and their club etc, etc.
Just speculating, of course. Forriner and all.
Arise Sir Paul Ince.
Deal to buy Bury rejected the other day. They’ll be chucked out of the Football League on Friday unless something is sorted, which looks pretty unlikely.
Is it £1m or £8m that they owe? Either way, surely either Manchester Blue or Red could step and become superheroes or is that something that is way too farfetch'd...
They should try getting some fans and sponsors.
Going through a Shakespeare phase?
Sorta sounds like get out of the crisis for lack of a better word rather than no Brexit but i could be wrong.
That scenario would be the worst. Global titan made to look like benevolent saviour and like they give a flying shit, whilst Bury, who for all intents and purposes cheated their way into the league above, get to keep their unearned place. It's harsh on the fans, and easy for me to say as it's not my club, but football needs Bury expelled from the league. Possibly along with Bolton. If expulsion and winding up of clubs who are 100+ years old isn't the wake up call English football needs then it's the end of the Football League as you've grown to know it.
There's been too many close calls. I have absolutely no idea how Portsmouth came out of it.
Jack Butland is truly awful now. Was he ever really good?
Boltons manager has resigned which probably says the writing is on the wall for them.
I don't see Bury coming out of it either. That they had a perfectly good takeover deal rejected because the owner even still wants more money, says that they probably need to go as a wake up call.
Fulham currently 2-0 up at half time, having had 89% possession.About as dominant a half as I've seen.
Stoke are utterly rancid. Whole vibe of the team stinks, they could drop again.
How has Nathan Collins been since he came on?
Also, is McClean really left back?
He was left back first half and left wing back second. Both equally poor. Collins hard to say, looks comfortable on the ball I guess.
Imagine Nathan Jones will get the boot soon unless he really turns things around, they weren't great last season after he took over.
From what I've read on Twitter they look like a team playing to get him the boot. Haven't broke sweat.
Funny how Gary and Phil don't care.
Nobody seems to.
Bury get double the gates of Accrington, who at least at the moment seem perfectly able to survive and thrive in League One. It's always about villainous cunts buying the clubs, never about anything else (and if your club has been bought by someone who isn't a villainous cunt then you're definitely in the minority).
They are Bury boys, I think his mum and dad gave been heavily involved in the club. Surely they can chuck a quid in.
Are they allowed to? Would be conflict of interest as they already chuck quids into Salford (or do they? dun dun dun)
Would be good publicity for almost anyone else but not them, they'd be vilified some way even if they did bail them out. Let's not kid ourselves that all the wailing and crying about Salford isn't purely because of who owns it.
Anyway, why bail out these clubs at all? It would only promote more frivolous activity if they can just run cap in hand to a local celebrity when it all goes tits up.

Good point. They're probably eyeing up gig lane to use for Salford's reserve team.
It's a question of dodgy owners again rather than Bury thinking they're Rushden and Diamonds.
Gotta love those fit and proper tests, init.
Nope.
Speaking of crisis clubs, Gateshead got their first win of the season the other day. New owners came in over the summer and squared off the council debt so they can play at the International Stadium.
Ignore the stupid fucking commentary.
MLS seems like such a joke league. I can't respect goals like that, when it almost looked like the defenders bet on Vela getting goal of the year beforehand or something.
I mean it's two players making bad challenges (after being run ragged for 40 minutes already), it's not really representative of the league as a whole. The standard isn't amazing, but it's pretty decent, and getting better all the time.
Elkeson, or now known as 'Ai Kesen' has completed his Chinese citizenship application and is expected to represent China for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. He's lived and played in China since 2013, so not really a big deal.
Thank fuck for that second sentence, I was about to kick off.
And he loves rice.
Do MLS commentators regularly imitate South American commentators? ("GOOOOOOOOOOL", etc.)
Nah, they imitate NFL commentators
I’ve been seeing that “they have families” line quite a bit on Twitter lately. Seems to be the new “son’s crying” trend.
I'm a twit
Torino win was easily, the best game ive ever witnessed live. All things considered. Its costly and time-consuming doing away days but it was super nice.
