Yes, Matt, I read that article as well. Personally, I think it would be a bloody good thing.
Gareth Southgate can talk from a position of some strength since the World Cup and has made no secret of his belief that our youngsters - and we have plenty of them - should be given more first-team opportunities. I agree with him entirely. When/If we leave the EU, our FA will/would have the right to specify the quota of overseas players our clubs were allowed to employ without the hindrance of EU `freedom of movement` legislation. More power to the FA and less to the Premier League? All for it, personally.
