The new rules are set to come in on July 1, 2022, if they get approval and there will be a transitional period to allow clubs to adjust to the guidelines.

But the maximum of six players loaned out will be implemented by 2024 and Premier League clubs will have to fall into line on an international and domestic level.
 
- A limitation on a club’s total number of loans per season. To ensure that this is implemented smoothly, there will be a transitional period as follows:

- From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, a club may have a maximum of eight professionals loaned out and eight loaned in at any given time during a season.

- From 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, the same configuration applies but with a maximum of seven professionals.

- Finally, from 1 July 2024, the same configuration will apply but limited to a maximum of six professionals.

*Players aged 21 and younger and club-trained players will be exempt from these limitations.
 
Is it players over 23 or some such tosh @zorro_mfc or just a total of 8 going down to 6?

If it is a hard rule, you would think a few clubs will have to seriously reduce their squads?
 
i wonder what would constitute a "club trained" player.
That would be my worry.

They should put up a list of which clubs would fall outside the new ruling now.

Wouldn't be surprised if it is none and nothing will be different.
 
21. they even have a nice page on the website with lovely photos of them all. not many under 21 i'll tell you that!!

I read an article where it is a lucrative business for them they loan all these players out who will never make the first team. They end up selling them on for the odd Million here and there and it all adds up.
 
This should have been tightened up a long time ago and should be set up properly this time, not left with loopholes and ambiguity to breed inconsistency, like FFP
 
Holy ****, goodbye Chelsea.

Long overdue. Let’s hope it has teeth and there’s no loopholes.

And can we stop postponing games for clubs who have a first team squad of 30, an U23s squad of 25 and an academy of 50 while we’re at it.

Waste of time if it doesn't include under 21's, as the richer clubs will still just soak up all the talent, meaning they don't have to buy it from the smaller clubs.

One young player sale will pay for their entire academy for a season, and no doubt the clubs loaning players are covering wages.

They're basically a farm, the food they don't want they bin (which means talent gets wasted), the food they do want they eat or maybe even sell when they have too much. The smaller clubs just feed on the scraps and freebies.
