Hi eds, I appreciate this will likely be up in the air at the moment, however, what do you expect the impact of the UK leaving the EU to be on the PL and European football in general?

{Ed001's Note - almost none. Nothing will change over night, and most things will not change at all. There will be lots of scare mongering and then it will all settle down as before.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you might be wrong there Ed001, obviously nothing will happen quickly but if laws regarding EU workers change which they inevitably will, then it will impact European footballers playing in our country.

{Ed001's Note - it will have very little effect.}

24 Jun 2016 12:30:15
We still have a lot of players in our league from outside of Europe, can't see it making a huge difference at all.

24 Jun 2016 13:45:40
At a senior level it won't have much of an impact as ed001 right points out. You read articles saying people like payet and martial wouldn't have been allowed to come if they had to apply for a work permit like a non-eu player has to. But reaistically these rules have cases for exception that clubs would enforce.

But ed001, will it have an impact in the long term on the amount of 16-18 year olds who come to the uk from europe where clubs have to pay little or no compensation? For example pogba, fosu-mensah and Janujaz.

{Ed001's Note - I doubt there will be any noticeable difference.}

24 Jun 2016 17:48:21
I've read, if the exit decision goes ahead (separate to the referendum) then GB exit would take 2 years. All current UK / EU laws would stay in effect for that time at least. So Ed is right no impact in the short term.

24 Jun 2016 10:52:21
I read today that English clubs will no longer be able to purchase U18 players from European clubs? Perhaps being out the EU will help our home grown talent get more chances and also if European footballers require work permits, home grown talent will get further opportunities? Ed001, will the drop of sterling since the outcome impact on transfer fee's that have not been concluded yet? This is an area I am clueless on.

{Ed001's Note - it only affects players who were old enough to sign professional contracts anyway.

The drop of Sterling is unlikely to have any immediate effect as the clubs usually have a Euro account as well as a Sterling one for these times.}

I just seen a boat go over the Irish sea with a load of English refugees.
Just to let ye know we have no money over here, we are all doomed,
We should all go to France and spend what we have, we can have one last piss up before the whole world is doomed.

In footballing terms i can't say much but from a business perspective it will have a major impact on things. The dow is down almost 600 points. The london stock exchange will take a bath on Monday and the pound will get dumped like never seen before.

I am in London and never thought this would happen but interesting to listen to people who voted for it, i think they are going to be in for a few years of shock until it dawns on them what they have done.

I think it will spill over into PL football midterm and long term.

24 Jun 2016 20:35:37
I agree with all that x. I'm amazed that the older generation want to shaft the younger one. Too many old farts still believing in the British empire BS.
I think there will be a better deal negotiated Britain with the eu and a second referendum held which will result in Britain staying in the eu. Boris will back track and that other tulip from ukip will go to live in Germany with his German wife😂.

24 Jun 2016 21:15:31
Who you calling old farts ken? Look at the employment level in europe especially spain and portugal. See what the young people think of it there. And x-files currencies go up and down. It was almost 1 pound to 1 euro about 3-4 years ago. You blaming that on the vote? I suggest if you don't like th pound then go and invest in euros because I'm presuming you think it's going to rocket. And I thought this was a football rumours page. There are other pages for this discussion. What you've witnessed from us old farts is a vote for a lack of trust in all politicians and financial institutions, not a protest vote either.

24 Jun 2016 22:17:27
Your right supasub its not the forum for political discussions. Flying solo is your peoples choice and good luck with it. With any luck you might stop occupying and ruling other peoples countries in the near future too.

24 Jun 2016 22:18:53
Im with supasub.
Give it 12 month and we will just be another one of the 170 countries that aren't in eu 27 club.

24 Jun 2016 22:51:53
Flying solo ken? We are the eu's biggest consumer. We will be the biggest customer outside the EU and according to basic level geography gcse we are still in europe just not going to be in the eu. As for history lessons ken and talking crap about occupying other countries. Your obviously not familiar with the last time germany tried to call the shots in europe. And before you come back with some other narrow minded crap, I am a british male, English father, swedish immigrant mother, non racist, non bigot, not taken in by the crap in the media the last few weeks. Amd when you bump into george Osborne hiding in his bunker tell him to get on with his emergency budget he threatened last week and watch out because kittens will be exploding everywhere from tomorrow whilst the sky is falling down.

24 Jun 2016 23:31:52
Ha ha ha. Narrow minded? Your annsestors were the bin Laden's and sadem's of their time. Raping invading and stealing other countries land and heritage. You guys were at it long before the likes of Hitler. The people have made their choice. There is no doubt that there will be short term pain and the long term may well prove to be successful in many ways. I don't believe it will be in fact I'm not so sure as I've said above that there will not be a renegotiation of terms with the eu and a 2nd referendum.
As for voting for a lack of trust in all politicians and financial institutions just be aware you will still be beholden to politicians and financial institutions. You will just swap one set for another or are you planning a life without them?
No doubt Britain is a huge consumer of European goods and products and will remain to be but Europe are the largest consumers of British goods and products. There are a lot of industries in the UK that rely on the favourable trade terms between eu members those industries are not in any immediate danger but will become more vulnerable. fishing agriculture financial and food manufacturing all rely heavily on the current trade terms between eu members
As I said above its the peoples choice and that's democracy its up to the people to make it work. But despite your vote its the politicians and financial institutions that will be the masters of your fate just like it is everywhere.

25 Jun 2016 00:23:08
So we stick with a failing system regardless Ken?

25 Jun 2016 00:08:04
Ken
Im not sure if even denis wise is better a starting an argument than you .
Fergy said wise could start an argument in an empty room, you could do it with a blind fold and a gag on .

{Ed007's Note - I like Ken, Ken seems like a decent bloke. #BeLikeKen #RedKen

25 Jun 2016 00:16:01
Really so I'm and ancestor of bin laden? Fishing and agriculture, are you serious? Do you know any fisherman or farmers? Because I do and they haven't been happy with the fact they can't grow crops in fields or catch a single bass between January and April. Very favourable. Every fishing community in Britain would have voted out and if you discard London and Scotland it amounts to about 75%-80% vote out (of which are all probably old farts like me and decendents of bin laden) And yes it will be new politicans that I don't trust either but they will be held accountable and they will be elected. If they don't do what voters want then they can be voted out. Very democratic but it seems you'd prefer the other system.

{Ed007's Note - Fishing communities in Scotland or Northern Ireland didn't vote out so you can't say every fishing community in Britain would have voted out.}

British steel had great trading deals within the eu didn't they? Lovely European neighbours allowing cheap Chinese steel that's not fit for purpose to be dumped in our market, state funded by the Chinese government. And yes I know some local bosses of engineering and manufacturing companies who'd love your point of view.

25 Jun 2016 01:20:36
Ok ed. Maybe I worded that wrong. I'm not convinced that the fishermen themselves would have voted to remain in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

{Ed007's Note - Perhaps not and you're probably right because you can easily say not everyone from any demographic voted a certain way. This is the first vote I can remember where it really did come down to personal opinion rather than political allegiances and people will never agree or concede they were wrong. Ian Paisley's son is telling people from Northern Ireland to apply for dual nationality and an Irish passport!!}

25 Jun 2016 02:21:42
Absolutely ed. Individual mps such as Farage and Johnson, Gove etc had personal campaigns against them. Thinking that anyone voting leave must be in support of at least one of them if not all, when in fact none of them were backed by us so it made no difference what was really said about them. What was more interesting in all the lies and spin over the past few weeks was always imo what's not said, rather than what is.

{Ed007's Note - I'm not that political but I try and keep up, try being the word if I'm honest lol but I watched a debate on TV the other night and found myself cheering on the big Tory bird Ruth and felt like I needed a shower to cleanse myself after it. The intensity of it all is just a repeat of our indy ref but everyone else hasn't seen anything like it before and are going nuts. Ed004's in a panic that the London financial market will collapse and he will struggle to find an accountancy job! Ed002 had to breastfeed him in Waitriose just to calm him down.
If I'm honest about it yeah I voted to remain but I'm not losing any sleep over it, I'm 42 and my life has never really changed no matter who's in government, I remember a meme thing during our indy ref,

If all you have is a GCE in woodwork, 3 teeth and an STI then an Indian qualified doctor isn't over here stealing your job.

I say live and let live, stop shooting each other and we'll be fine. Look at the variety of people from all over the world on here and getting on with one thing in common, we need to find a common ground for everyone. I seen headlindes about wee Sturgeon but I was scared to read them.}

The euro will also get hammered. I don't really care one way or another as it does not affect me but these winds of right wing politics and protectionism tend to be blowing at the moment, which imo is backwards thinking and will make things worse. it is not the first or last time this has happened when you look back at history and not once has anyone come out better for it.

Fear mongering unfortunately seems to work to get a majority of the vote. The immigration arguments are so flawed and it is a systematic issue with all the developed world of an ageing population who is living longer and costing more for all the states and never happy with the standard of living.

25 Jun 2016 08:54:14
Ed. I don't car how anyone voted as it's their own choice. I don't put anyone into a category. I've got 2 young kids and they are my first thought. Just gets my back up when terms like old farts, bigots, racists get mentioned. I've got 2 young children and they are my 1st thought. My mind was made up and a lot of people I know decided the same when David Cameron travelled off to Europe with 14/ 15 requests and they basically sent him back with a bag of beans and a fake £20 note. Then Cameron tells us they are magic beans and a real £20. If they'd met us even half way then the outcome would have probably would have been different.

{Ed007's Note - Haven't we just voted to stop our children from going abroad to work or learn though? Let's hope the kids don't mind the decision being taken away from them as we have made the world a smaller place for the next generation and while the rest of the world become closer and closer we're shutting ourselves away and hiding under the bed.
Every country will play hardball with the UK from now and that's not going to be pretty in my limited opinion. I don't know if it's true but I was talking to my old fart of a neighbour today and he said that this meant the end of all the cheap holidays or flights because you'll need to apply for a visa which will take time, there'll be no more cheap fags and booze either, he wasn't a nicotine stained and half pissed happy old fart of a neighbour!
I've already caused a local panic by telling my nephew that it'll be harder and harder to get weed into the country so him and his pals are panic buying already. ;)

25 Jun 2016 17:09:46
Hehe. I don't mind ed if you burn this thread now as I don't see how it has a place on here but just wanted to get my point across that just because I cast my 1 vote with my own personal opinion doesn't put me into some category of person. The same as I wouldn't refer to a remain voter as knuckle dragging, fascist, tree hugging, nappy wearing, communist, whatever.

{Ed007's Note - No worries mate.}
