“Presumably this is to encourage home grown footballers. Why not limit league teams to employ maximum two foreign players instead. All this money could then be donated to something like Dr Banado¿s to make a real difference in society.”

“Yes, but they have to charge lots of money. 70% goes on costs, 30% on 'payback'.”

“Good news, but half a million quid for a clubhouse? Seems an awful lot of building costs - you could build at least three detached houses for the same money!”
