Four overseas players would be allowed if English talent were given 35% of playing time the previous season while Brighton’s CEO said clubs were at a ‘big disadvantage’ under the current rules
The Football Association has floated an innovative plan that would allow Premier League and lower-league clubs to sign more overseas players in exchange for providing greater time on the pitch for English talent.
Under the FA’s proposals Premier League and Championship clubs would be able to sign four overseas players without a GBE, as long as the club gave 35% of total playing minutes to English players the previous season. Depending on the percentage of minutes played by English talent the number of signings would drop to three , two or one .
Paul Barber, Brighton and Hove Albion’s chief executive, said Premier League clubs were at a “big disadvantage” under the current rules compared with their European rivals.
