Footballers from outside the EU must still obtain a work permit if they wish to play for English football clubs. Every non-EU footballer must successfully apply for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) with the FA before the Home Office will consider issuing a work permit.
The system has recently been tightened and now only non-EEA players who are internationally established at the highest level, and whose employment will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport at the highest level, are allowed to play in the UK. One of the reasons for the rule change was that only 58% of football players who were given work visas played any top-flight football in their second season.
What are the criteria which will be used?
Until 2015, football players needed to have played in at least 75% of their country’s senior international matches over the previous two years to play in the UK. Eligibility for a GBE now depends on a national team’s FIFA ranking, as follows:
Official FIFA Ranking / Required % of international matches in past 2 yrs FIFA 1-10 / 30% and above FIFA 11-20 / 45% and above FIFA 21-30 / 60% and above FIFA 31-50 / 75% and above
In the case of players aged 21 or under at the time of application, the period is reduced to one year. The aim is to make it easier for young, outstanding talent to grow their game in the UK.
If a club’s application is rejected, there is an appeals process. The Exceptions Panel is the appeals body which will consider, on a points based system, the player’s experience and value before deciding whether the player can join the club, regardless of their failed application. A stricter assessment of relevant objective criteria will now be applied in an appeal.
I heard a rumour that we might be leaving the EU (although the person who told me was a bit vague on how and what would replace it).
Australia ranked at 40th so players have to play in 75% of games...
Not if we leave the EU and so are no longer under those rules.
I'm more concerned about pre season training and the fitness programmes for the players. 2 summers ago fitness went to pot over the summer due to a lack of senior management
I’m sure Jackson is on the case on that issue at least.
I hope so, but it's a massive step up from being a player/coach to organising training and dietary programmes for 20 professional footballers

Kashi has gone...... said his goodbyes after the second leg of the play off. All the loans are looking elsewhere for next season. Konsa looking to move on. The fringe Squad players (home grown) are waiting to see what happens in the next couple of months; possibilities for some to be involved if a takeover continues to drag is what I have been told. None of the team management or players have heard anything definitive about who's in charge next season, of the club or of the first team.
I know about an out of contract Tuna and Sweet Corn Sandwich, do you think I should advise them to contact the club. Box to box so I understand.
I think JJ has a decent chance of remaining as a coach. Any new manager will want somebody with him who knows the players - their strengths and weaknesses to bounce ideas off.

Has anyone got Mark Fish's phone number?
The above rules are not imposed on us by the EU. For example, the Scottish FA has much looser rules regarding non-EU players compared to the rules for England.

It was just a joke but if we can only have three non-EU players we might have a problem post brexit. Bauer and Clarke plus ?????

Precisely - and I would think one of the reasons why the Aussies are so interested.
As from next April, we are able to form our own immigration policy outside of the EU Legislation and allow in as many ex Commonwealth immigrants - whether permanent or temporary - as we wish. I cannot see too many complaints over a small number of fit young English speaking high earning white makes being allowed in.
Pretty sure this will be seen as a back door entry into the EU by quite a few countries.

How long does it take to put a club up for sale, get potential buyers through the door, receive offers, iron out the finer details, agree a price and then get EFL approval ffs.
Are you aware how many leases & sub leases, along with how much contaminated land is on the Peninsular?
There's also issues with the environmental, wildlife and transport impact statements - rumours that the requirement is for an extension of the DLR before it will even be considered.

And there was me, thinking any delays were because Roland's a dick....
How many milestones have we hung hope round? This or that close season, this or that transfer window, being prepared for times when planning and strategy is needed, waiting to know which division we're in, this or that snippet of leaked information, this or that arrival or departure of playing or non playing staff. And still Duchatelet is the owner. And still I wait to buy my beloved season tickets. When Pandoras box was opened all the bad stuff was released into the world, but shining at the bottom of the box was hope. Duchatelet has crushed hope because eventually time trumps hope, and we are left with nothing but the bad stuff.

And they remain upside down, which is nice.
Sports science would be the drivers in this.

I can only liken it to buying a house.......

Rudderless. Surely a statement updating fans should be made if they want to sell some season tickets.
