Not a job at fifa at least.
Is there anything wrong with the idea? You play first half of the season. Then have internationals. Euro qualifiers, afcon, asian cup what ever for 2 months. Then second half of the season.
Euros could be played in the winter. If you wanted. Afcon doesn't need to be every 2 years though. And the world club cup can fudge off.

I think I read somewhere that african players want to play many internationals as it helps them gain overseas permits.

Your talking about having football regions align and dodgy old grey corrupt men agreeing on something that in theory is for the good of the game
How sad is it that there can't be common sense in this world?
Dunno about anywhers else. Isn't the uk about a percentage of international games played?
I get that more international games gives african federations more money. But that could be offset by european clubs giving them a few quid.

That sounds easily fixable, the work permit thing is ridiculous, if a team wants to sign a player, that should be enough to get them a permit.
Same for any company/role imo, place of birth should be irrelevant.
No. Every taxpayer chips in for the education of the population. If companies aren't required to employ some of those but go for cheaper alternatives from abroad then it makes that effort redundant. Also leaves locals redundant.

Why are they better? Why can't they get someone local to that standard?

Some people are better at things than others, talent should be all that matters.
There is no need for protectionism, we live in a global economy.
I'm not a capitalist. I'm not a socialist. There has to be a balance.
Just talking about football. Yes we need the homegrown rule. So clubs invest in youngsters and don't just buy readymade from abroad. Doesn't mean they shouldn't buy great talents. But if they don't invest in training the next generation. There would be no good english players coming through.

I don’t care about “English players coming through” myself.
We should invest in youngsters because it makes good business sense, irrespective of where they were born.

Are you saying footballers should be treated differently than others seeking work in UK?
Baleforce
Ron Henry
Not at all. I’m saying nobody should be treated differently based on where they were born, work permits, visa’s, sponsorship, Id get rid of it all, anyone should be able to work anywhere they can get a job.
I disagree totally. Think clubs should be a part of the community and should help that community. Especially in training youngsters to become footballers.
Baleforce
Ron Henry
They should absolutely train youngsters, but they don’t have to be locals.
I think they should be part of a community too, but a global one.
As i said i disagree. That's a pure capitalist view that leads just 1 way. Bigger fish eating smaller until only one is left.
There needs to be a balance.
I'm son of an imigrant by the way, if you think this is a nationalistic view.

Ron Henry
I see why you think it’s a capitalist view, and it has short term capitalist benefits, but it’s a long term liberal, equality view.
I’m against the concept of nations, one planet, one people.
