Surely there would be a period of time allowed to get this done. I’d bet 2-3 seasons or some sort of grandfathered contract situation.

So the deal, presumably, will be the same as it is now but with a maximum of 12 non home grown rather than 17.
I can't see the top premier league clubs signing up to that personally. If they don't, what will the fall back position be? Presumably current EU players will need to go through the same work permit procedure as non EU players do now.

I believe Sigurdsson, Coleman, and Schneiderlin would class as home grown due to the length of time they have been domiciled in the UK

They have to have been at an English club at a young age, regardless of nationality I believe.

Siggy yes. Coleman no as we didn't buy him until he was 20. Schneiderlin is also a yes but don't think it matters as he won't be here much longer anyway.
Another reason to remain.
I can't see how this works? Removing any entry requirements for immigrant workers whose trade happens to be playing football? Do homegrown players not get the benefits of Brexit that other homegrown workers will be granted in this golden age of prosperity that is coming as we take back control?
There's also the difference between home-grown players and British players who are citizens with the right to work here. If a player who has been in England for 10 years becomes a citizen then would they not have a stronger claim to work as a footballer than someone like Gerard Pique*, who despite being Spanish counts as a homegrown player due to his years at Man Utd as a youngster.
*I'm assuming Pique doesn't have British citizenship for this example

A bit of a strange move from the F.A. this. I know that controlling immigration is supposedly one of the main drivers for the Brexit vote in the first place, but given the power and insouciance of the big clubs (witness discussions over a breakaway Euro super-league), it would not surprise if it went completely the other way and they removed all limits on foreign players for the craic.

I thought that if you were able to get a UK citizenship then you’d be classed as home grown?

If the criteria stays as it is ie 36 months in an academy if England or Wales before 21st birthday I think we will manage it easily. If it becomes more complicated we might get caught out as players like Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin will no longer count.

No. Scots habe a UK passport but arent homegrown if they played youth football north of the border

Taking the thread on a slightly different direction, where do people think we would finish if you had to field 11 English players in the first 11? I genuinely think we would finish top 5....
Pickford
Keane
Jags
Holgate
Baines
Kenney
Davies
Dowell
Lookman
Walcott
Calvert-Lewin
When you start to go through the other teams, most would stuggle in a number of key positions. We are quite well covered all round except maybe in CM, but everyone is a full international or U21...
Actually, soddit. I think we would win the league!

Spurs would win the league easily, but yeah, we'd probably be 2nd or 3rd.

Typically we've got a 2 year ban from signing from English academy's when all this is about to happen. So we will have to sign older English who will have a large premium due to the rule change.
