Effect of Brexit on PL

So the British have cast their vote and elected to leave the EU. What effect do people think this is going to have on the PL?
 
Assuming there is no continued freedom of movement under the new agreements that will be negotiated with the EU, presumably players from within the EU would be subject to work permit requirements as per any other player from abroad. It would be for the PL to work with the UK authorities (as they do now) to agree the criteria under which a work permit would be agreed. I would expect that the criteria would be relatively favourable - the PL is a huge brand overseas and the last thing the UK will need is to cut off its nose to spite its face in terms of reducing the attractiveness of the brand.
Whether there would be any implications for bringing family into the UK that would make a move less attractive, I don't know.

I would assume any footballer would meet the asset criteria involved in bringing family over
 
All the clubs looking to strengthen their squads by buying players from outside the league have a lot less money to do it with thanks to the pound tanking.

Players from the UK and Ireland(pre existing arrangements) will be in demand now as they dont need work permits.

Potentially the FA could reintroduce and maximum number of foreigners rule to help the national team.
 
Out of europe, out of european championships, out of europa, out of CL, no ? :p

Might see pound devalue short term then find it's 'new' level against the euro. Player contracts ? Foreign player quota ? These are the most obvious points.
 
Teams have the money and legally capability to work around anything, might mean more paper work but thats about it.

Fluctuations in money might have an impact with players wanted their money pegged to a set exchange rate to cover them. Payet wanted a new contracts as soon as Brexit was voted as he lost a large chunk of his first salary when he exchanged to Euros.
 
brexit means i have to repay student loans to a university i graduated from over 20 years ago in England so f@ck brexit.
 
Plan agreed on entry requirements for overseas players in England post-Brexit in 2021

The FA, the Premier League and EFL have come together to agree a plan for entry requirements for overseas players post Brexit.

Football’s Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) proposal was submitted to the Government last month by the FA, as the governing body for football, and has now been approved by The Home Office.

The criteria will provide the framework for Premier League and EFL clubs to sign overseas players when the UK leaves the European Union (EU) after 31 December 2020.

Post Brexit, clubs will not be able to sign players freely from the EU. Players from EU countries who want to play in the Premier League or EFL will be required to gain a GBE, like all other overseas players without the right to work in the UK.

The GBE will operate a points-based system, where points are scored for senior and talented young players based on:
• Senior and youth international appearances
• Quality of the selling club, based on the league they are in, league position and progression in continental competition
• Club appearances, based on domestic league and continental competition minutes

Players accumulating the requisite amount of points will earn a GBE automatically, while players just below the threshold may be considered for a GBE by an Exceptions Panel.

The system meets the joint objectives of the Premier League, EFL and the FA allowing access to the best players and future talent for clubs, as well as safeguarding England teams, by ensuring opportunities for homegrown players.

In the Premier League, the number of overseas U21 players a club can sign will be limited to three in the January transfer window and six per season moving forwards. This enables the recruitment of the best players from around the world to train and play together with homegrown talent. Under FIFA’s rules, the UK’s exit from the EU will also mean that clubs will not be able to sign players from overseas until they are 18.

The leading football bodies have also agreed to work together to continue to improve the player pathway system.

The Women’s game has also had their GBE proposal approved by the Home Office. This will also operate a points-based system, where points are scored on:

• Senior international appearances
• Quality of the selling club, based on the league they are in and former league position
• Club appearances, based on domestic league and continental competition minutes

The agreement is in accordance with the Government’s required criteria and will come into effect when the UK leaves the European Union, in the new year. It will be implemented in the January 2021 transfer window and reviewed in full ahead of the summer 2021 transfer window.

Mark Bullingham, our chief executive officer, said: “Despite having different starting perspectives on how Brexit should impact football, this is another example of how the football authorities can work effectively together for the greater good of the game.

"We have a strong working relationship with both the Premier League and EFL and will monitor this new agreement together to ensure it evolves to best meet our joint objectives over time. We will also discuss improvements to the player pathway for the mutual benefit of football clubs and homegrown talent in this country.”

Richard Masters, the Premier League’s chief executive, added: “The Premier League has worked with the FA to come to an agreement to ensure no part of Brexit should damage the success of the Premier League, or the prospects of the England teams. We welcome the news that the Home Office has approved the Governing Body Endorsement plan for the January 2021 transfer window.

“Continuing to be able to recruit the best players will see the Premier League remain competitive and compelling and the solution will complement our player development philosophy of the best foreign talent alongside the best homegrown players. Following the January transfer window, we look forward to reviewing the agreement with the FA.”

EFL Chief Executive, David Baldwin, said: “The EFL has contributed to the discussions with our colleagues across football as the game prepares for the UK’s exit from the EU, and it is helpful to be able to provide clarity for EFL Clubs by having an established position to a long-standing issue ahead of the January transfer window, albeit in the short term.

“The objective of the EFL throughout this process has been to ensure EFL Clubs continue to have the opportunity to sign players from overseas to enhance the quality of their playing squads, while recognising the need for restrictions, and we will continue to assess the application of these rules and consider the long-term implications early in 2021.”

Think it will hit smaller clubs harder

all the likes of the top 8 PL clubs will do is raid other clubs youth set ups.
 
Will make it harder to have overseas homegrown players, they'd have to sign on their 18th birthday to make sure they're here for the full 3 years to count.
