sheded 0 Posted February 20, 2005 I totally agree with the EUFA proposal to impose a quota system on prem clubs ! .... at the moment we have a lopsided league , with the rich clubs importing " star " players from abroad at the expense of English players who come out of the various acamedy`s only to find their prospects limited because of foreign imports ..... Arse`s recent all foreign players match did my head in .... whats the point of supporting an English club composed totally of foreigners ? ...... might as well watch Real Madrid !!

BedsCanary 0 Posted February 20, 2005 The recent figures showing Norwich to have the highest number of British players in the Premiership make you proud to be a City supporter doesn''t it? Me and my other half had this row in the car coming home from the West Brom game (2 hour drive = bloody long arguement, too)... basically she doesn''t like the fact that think footballers or those who run football clubs are as passionate as the fans and are just in it for the money. In many ways she''s completely right - I''d hate to support Chelsea or Arsenal, when all they do is take as much money as they can. I''m proud to be a City supporter because we have a board who love the football club, the City and the fans. I''m proud that we have past players such as Bryan Gunn, Iwan Roberts, Darren Eadie, Steeno and currently Hucks; who all love the football club as much as I do.I find it madness that they''re having to introduce rules stipulating you must have a minimum of xxx homegrown players in you''re squad when, only a few years ago there were similar rules saying you can only have a maximum xxx number of foreign players.Premiership officails will of course fight this to the last. For them football is a business, not a sport. Sport doesn''t make nowhere near as much money as a business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
