[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 199132"] In principle I am not against having good players comming from abroad. It is benefitial to the team, the players and the fans. This contributes also to opening the minds. On the other hand what we are seeing nowadays is that actually many foreigners are employed by the clubs because they are cheaper than the local players and it's no more a question of good or bad players. Quotas can be put in place but before that the European Union rules must be amended for sport and even though I am not sure that this exception cannot be broken by the European Court. These quotas then should be applied to all nationalities, e.g. an Irish guy playing for an English club should be counted like an Argie playing for a French club since many of the SH players have a European passport thank to their ancesters.
