eds. can you please tell us how the work permit is not ok for brazil players when barca can sign them . thx

{Ed002's Note - The rules vary by country but in England the situation with work permits is that a player will be granted one if (a) he has played 75% of games at full international level for two years for a country ranked reasonably high up by FIFA (top 75), (b) if he is deemed to be a major talent as reflected in his price, or (c) if an exemption is applied for and granted under the "exceptional talent" provisions. For example, if a case is made to the authorities that a young South American is a demonstrable talent and clearly one for the future, it should be reasonably easy to have an exemption granted. If however, a pretty much run of the mill or average player was being bought and it was clear they are not appreciably better than those which could be found locally, or are being bought because they are cheap, then it will be much more difficult to obtain a work permit. The downside of the system in the UK is that the "bigger" English clubs can cherry pick the decent talent available and can obtain exemptions, and the rest of the players are assumed not to be talented enough for an exemption (as Chelsea or Manchester United etc. don't want them) and therefore obtaining the exemption is much tougher. Some players can obtain work permits through their parents or grand parents being English.}

Isn't there something about the fact that a lot of Brazilian players can also get Portuguese passports and Portugal is an EU member?

eds. its been printed rightly or wrongly, a swap deal for sterling. how would that work please, with qpr due 20%. many thx.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool will still be committed to pay 20% of the fee assigned to the transfer. So if the transfer has an assigned value of £25M then Liverpool have to pay £5M to QPR.}

if its a straight swap deal, who assigns the value?

{Ed002's Note - In exchanges the values are assigned by an independent committee working on behalf of The FA - those values are passed to UEFA.}

That's interesting ed, never knew that, cheers.

hi eds. with liverpool wanting fast attacks, and high pressing. do you think if we had gone for a new stadium, it would have been a benefit to have installed a maximum size pitch. it would have helped when teams try and park the bus. what size is Anfield please. many thanks.

{Ed001's Note - all pitches have to be the same size in the Prem now.}

1.) 19 Mar 2015 16:22:07
And no plastic pitches either was it Luton and qpr ed had them.

{Ed002's Note - Preston and Oldham as well. They are allowed in Scotland where there are quite a few.}

2.) 19 Mar 2015 16:50:29
Sorry Ed001 you are incorrect premiership pitches are not all the same size nor are they required to be

{Ed002's Note - Chris - the EPL now require pitches to 105m x 68m as standard but accept that logistically not all clubs can achieve that - and those that cannot achieve it have to make such a declaration on Form 8 and have it agreed by the EPL Board.}

Makes sense to have them in Scotland with their weather extremities, unnecessary in the UK

{Ed002's Note - I think you will find Scotland is part of the UK.}

Spoke to the FA today to clarify this and it is not the case according to them

{Ed002's Note - Sorry Chris - I am not sure why you spoke to the FA but whoever you spoke to was wrong. Tell him to read the Premier League Handbook for 2014/15 and refer him to Rules K15 and K16. Then ask him to apologise.}

5.) 19 Mar 2015 18:57:14
I have argued with several people lately that the premier league pitches are required to be a standard size. Many people I have argued with have insisted that I was wrong so after reading Ed001 again today insist that it is the case I thought a call to the FA to settle it was in order.
Their answer was "we do ask clubs to try to be consistent but only within certain parameters, there is no set pitch size"
To be honest I really shouldn't be surprised that someone at the FA doesn't know what they're talking about. In fact when you think about it it's probably a prerequisite

{Ed002's Note - Thing is Chris, it is nothing to do with the FA. It is in the reference I gave you which I am certain is the public domain. With you disbelieving friends, get some new chums.}

Burn!

7.) 19 Mar 2015 19:25:07
Youre probably right Ed

8.) 20 Mar 2015 06:28:39
Chris, if you're still sceptical (and I can sense a "harrumph" in your typing, then Google "Premier League Handbook 2014/15 Rule K15" and you can red for yourself. Link is below, but not sure it will get through.

http://m.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2014-15.pdf

Its quite clear in the rules that Ed002 has directed you to.

Perhaps your friend is either referring to other divisions other than the Premier League, or his information is out of date as this rule may be more recent.

{Ed001's Note - the rule came in either this season or last, I forget which.}

9.) 20 Mar 2015 08:14:42
I meant the rest of the UK

{Ed002's Note - I understand, England, Wales and Canada.}

10.) 20 Mar 2015 10:21:40
Chris! You rang the FA? You have way too much time on your hands! Get a hobbie mate!
