Angry clubs to fight UEFA plan
Telegraph.co.uk – Jan 27, 2005
The plan will then go to the UEFA Congress at Tallinn in April for final ratification. From the start of the 2007 season, it is proposed that any club qualifying for a European competition must have no more than 25 players in their first-team squad. Four of those players, however, must be home-grown, two of them having been trained between the ages of 15 and 21 by the club’s own youth training programme, while two others could be developed by other clubs, provided these clubs are part of the same national association as the buying club. In other words, Chelsea would have to field two players from their own academy and two others nurtured by English clubs. In the 2008 season, the number of home-grown players will increase to six – three and three – and in 2009 reach the maximum of eight – four and four. UEFA say this is a very reasonable proposal, as even at eight players, the rule would still cover less than a third of the squad. They also insist that the players need not be qualified to play for their national association…

They also insist that the players need not be qualified to play for their national association. So the eight Chelsea “home-grown” players could be qualified to play for the Republic of Ireland or Italy. UEFA’s legal advice is that by doing this they do not violate the Bosman ruling.

But the president said the United States will continue with its mission to establish security and democracy in Iraq. “That mission is to enable Iraq to defend herself from terrorists, home grown or terrorists that come in from outside of the country,” he added. The president said enough U. troops will remain in Iraq long enough to do the job, and at the same time training will increase for Iraq’s new security forces.

“I would have preferred to go after the Commonwealth Games [in Melbourne next year],” Traerup admitted. “I’m sorry to leave with the job only part done, but I might not get the chance again to return home. ” Besides playing a part in the bronze medal won by Simon Archer and Joanne Goode in Sydney and the silver medal by Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms in Athens, Traerup laid a wider pathway for juniors to develop and created better soil for home-grown coaches. Now though, with the world championships not far ahead, England have some worryingly large holes to fill.
