Interview with Dane on how Brexit affects us

I'm picturing scenes of a 5 mile tailback of European players, all stuck at Calais.

 

Never happen

 

you mean stuck at Dover don't you?

 

What won’t? Brexit? EU citizens getting treated like non-EU citizens? The transfer window? 2021?

 

Ritzmaier might not find his way back.

 

****, that's bad

 

Eu players being treated like non eu players.

 

Why won't it? That was the whole point of Brexit. Treat EU citizens like anyone else.

 

Its things like this that should show everyone how unbelievably unprepared this country is. We wouldn't have the bandwidth to do it properly at the best of times, but it turns out we're doing it at the time of a pandemic that's turning lives upside down.... and we won't pause or halt or wait, even though we know we can't do it the way we want to (I'm assuming somewhere, someone knows just what it is we are actually aiming for).

Seeing as the country voted to restrict migrant labour, that also has to include footballers. To make an exception of footballers is completely hypocritical.

If you voted for brexit, you voted to "take back control".... and the by product is that your football team has to be less reliant on migrants.

 

Dane is highlighting the sh*show just in one industry. Immigration and customs arrangements aren't in place, it's a shambles. Again this is my area of work, i have no clue what's being implemented. They're winging it, they're praying for an EU deal which will meet their goals. It won't happen, to get what they want they'll need to be members of the EU, but have to accept freedom of movement of people. Are we really saying EU movement of people (that includes Brits moving around for work and pleasure) is a disaster?
This was what the whole referendum was about, and a way for culture capitalists to make money betting against the pound.
Why would you vote to be part of a worse arrangement / relationship? Yes the EU isn't perfect but look closer to home for christ sake.
I'm the proverbial Turkey voting for Christmas, my job is more secure (minus the threat of outsourcing to Serco or worse) due to Brexit. I know this isn't going to end well. 1st January the fallback position will be to open the borders, we can't afford to not let vital goods in. Is that taking back control?

 

Confident enough to have a wager on it?

 

Oh dear! Don't tell David in the East Upper! He'll be crestfallen if Dane turns out to be a remainerist!

 

What they won’t accept us that the bigots won the referendum. Supported by chancers like Johnson, Farage and yes Corbyn they have done untold damage to our economy and our standing in the world.

 

A wager on what exactly? I struggle to see what objective metric that could be measured by that would allow a wager to be settled.

 

I’m confident Football won’t allow European players to be treated the same as non Europeans are now, you are saying it will because of Brexit.

 

Tbh, the money footballers are on I would imagine they'd be exempt from any restrictions.

 

It's not up to football though is it? It's down to immigration and foreign worker rules.

Not sure how it's something that you can have a wager on, as I don't think there's any objective metric that will give us an answer.

 

We will see, too much money in Football, British footballers prices would go through roof initially,Players that qualify from EU would go through roof too, owners will start to withdraw because the potential rewards won’t be there. TV companies will see revenue fall as interest wanes as quality gradually goes down.
The government have insisted the FA, PL & EFL put the proposal together to set future rules, but as always the 3 can’t currently agree.
The FA have proposed a reduction of maximum non home from 17 to 12 in the first team squad, but the PL are rejecting this.
Dane says himself in the interview that the clubs are close to an agreement.
