They may not get exactly what they want but they’ll influence it that’s for sure. Soccer will also, mostly, be able to absorb any additional costs that come from it. And let's assume that new structures won't be delivered free and for nothing. It's hard to see it being remotely the same and Mr laspalmas is spot on in raising the issue of EU grandparent/parent passports now being worthless. (I think the FIFA video game had a thing where you could run the league and then have Brexit happen. Some knuckle draggers were livid that taking control of their borders suddenly meant it was harder to get the foreigners they wanted in.) Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

North but south Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Since we still don't know what brexit is yet, and it was supposed to happen 3 months ago, there is no way of answering this question. If we assume the same system is applied that eu nationals are treated the same as non eu nations. Teams will allowed to play in the UK under the current visa system, but some player not holding a visa waiver passport will be required to get a visa to enter. If you take sports person visa then the player criteria is: must hold the highest qualification in the sport, be recognized by the governing body as an elite sports person's, have a good knowledge of English, have £945 in your bank account.

Lowdesert Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 12 hours ago, Toby Chopra said: Well, as I said, we don't know what the post Brexit set up will be yet, it could range from virtually identical to the free movement we have now, all the way to strict minimum income requirements linked to government-identified labour shortages with lengthy and expensive application processes. We just don't know. But the closer it is to the latter the more complicated and restricted it will be for French players to have the stints in UK they have know, which is so helpful for their rugby league education before they reach the top level. Established French internationals, like the PNG and Pasifika players we see, shouldn't have a problem as on the whole that's usually the standard that work permit applications for all sports set. Aren’t we seeing how this could work in Canada? Many players in the TWP squad, since inception, have been lesser standard players. Recently, I could think of Navarette, Fages, Escare, Julien, but other than those I can’t think of any others (there must be some) offhand who would be deamed ‘not top level’. A fair few others have been lower standard players mixed with a few ‘Top level’. I think the argument that restrictions will affect lower level education/growth isn’t valid. The French, Guasch especially, recognise they need to involve and develop their game again and would prefer a stronger competition on home soil. It really should be for them to bring their own players on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 16 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The fact is that we don't yet know what the impact will be for two reasons; because she has no real desire to leave the EU, the May government has not produced draft proposals on the issue; second, the EU has point blank refused to discuss anything until we sign the surrender document, the Withdrawal Act. My view is that post-Brexit, with regard to sport and the arts we'll see very little difference to now, if only because of the influence of soccerball.
