A question for Ed002. With the UK leaving the EU under Brexit will this cause issues with the purchase of overseas players, such as work permits and the exchange rates?

Thanks

Baz.

{Ed002's Note - Exchange rates are unrelated to Brexit and vary for a veriety of reasons. It is not actually clear what would happen with work permits. There would certainly not be any overnight change but the eventual position would likely be a need for work permits and residence permits. In terms of existing EU citizens already working in the UK, there is no plan but I would think an amnesty would be the likely decision followed by a quota system of some type. A good question but no firm answer I am afraid.}

Nice answer Ed002.

Just wondering if one result of Brexit could be that it becomes easier for clubs to sign players from non-EU countries such as South America and Eastern Europe as visa/ work permit rules change.

Cheers in advance.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

As with everything else, Brexit will lead to an exodus not an influx.
