Brexit

[dazby]

I know it's been asked before but I don't remember seeing it answered. If you leave the EU what will it mean for signing players? I suspect it will be harder.

Nope, next question.

Have we not all watched 11.22.63?

It will mean that immigration/work permit rules for footballers will have to be revised.

This'll mean that clubs in the UK will no longer be forced to positively discriminate in favour of a (for example) Spanish or Bulgarian player over a player from Bosnia & Herzegovina or Russia, who, in spite of being from the same footballing confederation, are not members of the same politico-economic bloc. The UK may, for instance, invoke a 'UEFA-only quota', but conversely a 'home nations-only quota'.

On the other side, lower-level clubs (League One and below) will find it harder to sign players from abroad, as additional bureaucracy and also possibly minimum wages to qualify for a work permit will come into play.

hopefully an out vote will mean all foreigners are banned from this place

I heard it will affect things, but I believe it also relates to signing youth players from the EU. I think I heard UK base clubs will not be able to anymore, or so easily.

Brexit means I will go on a 1 month drunken adventure.

Is that any different than normal CARL?

Well, not looking good with being competitive with youth player signings outside of the UK now. Not good.

holy fuck

holy fuck

That was my reaction word for word

On the one hand, I've just had a relative 7 grand pay rise from the currency drop in the last few hours. On the other hand, I need to transfer money out of the UK for a house deposit which will probably have cost me a similar amount.

Very surprised to see this happen, but for us now we will have to make some very different financial plans moving forwards.

Gonna be a bumpy ride the next few weeks and months

However will we survive?

I should point out that both Ireland and Denmark have voted to leave in the past. Both are still in. Most of our politicians want to stay in. Expect a lot of smoke and mirrors and some 'wonderful new deal' in the next 12 months.

When was that?

[Original Dub]

I don't remember Ireland voting to leave?

Anyway I hope you're right and there is some kind of rethink because we're only getting back on our feet again and even the uncertainty of the next few years will force up backwards again.

Greenland left but I don't think denmark has ever voted to leave. I think you might be talking about eu related referendums like the one about the Lisbon treaty for example.

[Nigels Tackle]

is the ban on foreign posters immediate?

[john@staustell]

Lisbon, Maastrict, if you didn't vote for it in the referendum you were out by default. Things were changed.
