Unless he's been replaced with a guy with the same name, the man who wanted to take the premiership abroad so that all those countries could see their foreign premiership players is now heading up the plans to reduce the number of foreign premiership players through limiting team selections.
Obviously, the sole benefit to now restricting foreign players in teams is it ultimately protects the big teams who have established fan-bases in these countries already through signing players from there etc.
Anyway, this bloke seems to be a complete tool who seems to latch onto the undercurrent theme of the month to try and push it through.

He's the spawn of the devil, obsessed with making as much money as possible to the detriment of Football.

Don't bite my head off but I can see why he'd think the 39th game abroad is a good idea. NFL seem to be doing well with their annual Wembley game. And if a 39th game got the club more money then fair play.

I have gotta bite your head off mate  , i think its a ludicrous idea, Its a English league and should be played in England, i understand that its popular in the far east etc, but they have tv's so tough titty! |

I know what your saying but as long as we don't loose out on any football and it is an "extra" game I wouldn't see the harm, it might make some little Chinese boys year to see the mighty potters in the flesh ;D

The current proposal seems to be for 4 home grown players in a matchday squad of 18. That's hardly going to drastically reduce the number of foreign players in the short term - although, no doubt, the number of home grown players in the squad will be increased over time.
For what it is worth, I think it is a SMALL step towards giving more opportunities to home grown players.
PS - anyone know the definition of "home grown"? Does it mean, English, British - or simply a player who has spent several years in this country whilst learning his football?

I think under the proposals "home grown" doesn't necessarily mean British, just someone who was in the clubs youth academy

Home Grown means they come in a compost bag and you have to water them twice a day until they've matured. Either that or what Tubes said ;D

Uefa define home-grown players as those trained by their clubs or by another club or national academy in the same country for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21. |

Yep - that's why Fabregas qualifies as "home grown". |
