Maybe we should ask the crooks at FIFA when we can actually play and how many players we can field what positions they think would be best for them. Who we can sign, who should manage They are taking away a system that not only allows players from a higher division to play football to gain strength and fitness but allows the lower League teams to have a player from a higher level play at their ground week in week out allowing joe bloggs and his son see Premier League players grace their little club. Another nail in the coffin of the little man and his team
It's not as bad as I first though when someone (admittedly not an avid football follower) told me that they were banning the Loan system; they missed out the rather crucial word 'Emergency' from the sentence. Regardless, as said before by others, this combined with the 5 sub rule and the Premier Leagues attempts to end the way academies are run it is another step towards the ultimate destruction of smaller clubs and teams who can't afford to keep large squads. I genuinely wish we were strong enough to stand up and quit FIFA but it just won't happen, unless we were followed by the likes of Spain, Germany, Italy etc then we would achieve nothing other than making Pariahs out of ourselves. Of course it wouldn't be the first time we quit FIFA but things were a bit different 100 years ago.
Ironically, I think we'll end up leaving FIFA when UEFA's financial fair play rules bite the biggest clubs.
