    Obviously, nada is confirmed yet. But it kind of makes sense, tighter immigration rules after BREXIT meaning less foreign players let in by the Government.

    Can you see it happening? The FA wouldn't want to kill the goldmine that is the Prem, but then again they have done dafter things.

    If it is true, Watford's model would have to change and change dramatically.

    Well like most other clubs we will have to look to the English transfer market and bring in more Fosters/Hughes and Willmott's so the Pozzos might know what is coming and getting prepared.

    No more random signings or giving contracts to the likes of Britos and even Holebas to stick around for another year which might not be a bad thing!

    I have faith in the Pozzos and co to manage this - more than the owners of some other clubs who just throw money around like confetti.

    Won't that just play into Chelsea's hands with the amount of players they have out on loan?

    I think UEFA/FIFA are going to limit the number of players clubs can have out on loan.

    If you look at the "Big Five" or six clubs, they will surely be hit harder when you look at their teams you might think, but now all teams have players from all over the world, not just ones affected by Brexit. They have not found it difficult to get players from outside the EU despite the UKs immigration rules for non-EU nationals.

    Might get harder for lesser players... Is there not an immigration rule about only bringing in internationals or something similar?
