"A more strictly enforced work permit system that would prevent Premier League sides from having more than two non-EU players." Are they fucking serious? Just need to have a look at the current best players in the league and we see the likes of Suarez, Aguero, Yaya Toure etc. and then we have a good portion of the Brazilian national team. Without players like these the league would be nothing so we might as well say goodbye to the best European players like Hazard and Van Persie as well. I would understand the reasoning if they applied that to lower levels like League One where it would be beneficial for English football that most of the players are, in fact, English but when you want to be the best league in Europe you can't disregard world class players just because of their nationality. zolayes, Reddish-Blue, seanptmiller and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyke's plan will never passA few people have suggested the premier league's 8-player homegrown squad rule should be enforced with 4 homegrown players (eligible for England) in the starting XI of every club.At the very least, that would let the English manager have 80 English players to choose from...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 and people say we treat managers like shit. Four years as a player and managerial staff of Spurs since 2008,this guy truly does deserve more respect."I am doing this job with a lot of uncertainty around my future," he told reporters."If you have a supply teacher who comes into your school, sometimes they are not treated with the respect that a headmaster is."Midfielder Sandro told ESPN Brazil earlier this week that Sherwood was set to leave at the end of the season, and the coach suggested that some of his squad knew more about the situation than he did."If I need any information, I am better off asking the players," he added. "Sandro obviously has a knowledge of what is going on. I wish I knew."I don't know if the chairman has spoken to Sandro but obviously somebody has told him."The players look a lot at the speculation and it begins to be more than that. I have had a lot of players come to me and say to me: 'Our agents have told us you are not going to be here next year.' It's a very difficult situation."

There's absolutely no leaders in that dressing room and really it's a bunch of mercenary cunts. We at least had Didier, JT, Lamps, Ashley and Cech who all stepped up. Who have they got? Adebayor? Dawson? Lloris?That club is a right mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 with the amount we spent, really is disappointing where we have finished, when taking the fiances and under-achievement that has been brought up into account.
