He's wise when he says something you agree with, and other times he's
a hater of the English game. Funny how you dangle in the wind like you
do.
My advice to you is to admit you're English and feign being Scottish
in the hopes that your opinions carry any semblence of neutrality, or
that you're open minded. You're as transparent as they come.
Blatter's comment was made at an opportunist moment because he thinks it
will make his own argument for player quotas more credible.
Of course, player quotas are completely non-credible unless the EU
changes its employment laws.
Is that entirely true ? I ask out of ignorance, but it seems to me that if the clubs are allowed to sign as many foreign players as they want , subject to the homegrown rules UEFA has in place for the 25 man squads, and employ (i.e. pay) as many foreign players as they want, they would not necessarily be in violation of EU regulations if they set a cap on the number of such players that could be on the field at any one time.

It's effectively the same. It's illegal to implement laws that directly or indirectly discriminate 'workers' from other countries. Imagine a company hiring 100 Polish workers and then a law is set up which only allows them to have 20 of them working there at any time. Impossible.

This is what I thought. Though it will actually in practice limit the amount of foreigners the clubs will sign, it can be argued that they are not restricting trade. Though a decent lawyer could make UEFAs position very difficult, I think it could be worth it, because it is ultimately about the "contract" between the clubs and UEFA, not about the contract between player and club (like Bosman).
