This is not a thread on the pro’s and con’s of Brexit but how it could effect football, the English National team and particular Forest.
The exchange rate! For a few months at least, is likely to have negative impact on sterling ( money not the player) and cost of any imports. Free movement of EU nationals could come under an Australian style points system. Although most players being young, healthy and coming to a sponsoring employer with shortage of required skills could score highly. There could also be leeway for time limited contracts. Depends on agreements the PL and EFL come up with.
Could mean all clubs become more reliant on British born players which in turn could put price of players from EFL back to pre Bosman equivalent levels. Could save smaller EFL clubs. Could mean academy becomes even more important.
Could shape our transfer strategy in next window to mean bringing in a shed full of young EU born players Or a couple of expensive imports on long contracts before shutters come down.
Is this an opportunity for football or a threat.
