“What will happen is that all our
sporting bodies will have to sit down,
look at all their rules and decide
whether to emulate what they already
have in relation to European
nationals, i.e. Give them preferential
treatment, or do we fit the European
nationals into the rules we currently
have in the UK or do we want to write
completely new rules?” Maria Patsalos,
a Sports Immigration Partner at
Mishcon de Reya LLP, said. “It is
unlikely in football for instance that
European nationals will have the same
freedom as they have now if Britain
votes to leave the EU.”
In that scenario, Premier League clubs
could be forced to pay more as Dr
Babatunde Buraimo, a senior lecturer
in sports economics at the University
of Liverpool, argues. “Clubs will be
limited to hiring higher-calibre
players from highly Fifa-ranked EU
countries,” he said. “If the Premier
League is limited to these players, this
will increase the values, in terms of
transfer fees and wages, of acquiring
proven and established EU players.
Missing out on rising talent [such as
Kante] will be one of the drawbacks.”

It is not just football that will be
affected. Under the terms of the
Cotonou Agreement and the Kolpak
Ruling in 2003, sportsmen from
Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Group
of States (ACP) enjoy the same rights
as EU players. This particularly applies
to cricket and rugby union, where
many players from South Africa,
Caribbean and the Pacific Islands
have come to play in the English
domestic leagues.
Several have gone to represent
England. For 11 years between 2004
and 2015 encompassing 139 Tests,
England started a match with a South
African-born player in their team
such as Andrew Strauss and Kevin
Pietersen. The English rugby union
team, too, has come to rely upon a
large percentage of foreign-born
players, from Mike Catt through to
Manu Tuilagi.

Great Britain is to leave the European Union,
plunging the country into uncertain political,
financial and social terrain, but sport too
faces an unclear future.
While the ramifications for the country – and
indeed the wider continent – are left mostly
to guesswork, calculating the consequences
on sport also presents a host of difficulties.
Indeed, in January, Karren Brady, West Ham
United’s vice-chairman, wrote a letter to the
chairmen of every senior professional club in
England, Scotland and Wales, claiming the
UK "cutting ourselves off from Europe would
have devastating consequences".

Professional Footballers’ Association
chairman, Gordon Taylor, who may believe
Brexit will enhance English football, making
it easier for clubs to develop home-grown
talent.
One of the most common grievances with
millennial Premier League football has been
the influx of foreign talent swamping the
English game and pushing young, locally-
based talent down the pecking order.
Additionally, Brexit presents the possibility
that the Premier League may struggle to
attract the sort of television rights revenue
of yesteryear. Next season, £5bn is set to
flood through the English game but leaving
the EU presents problems going forward.
Geey added: "They are happy with things as
they are, but they could be affected by
future legislation when it comes to selling
rights to EU countries if the commission
feels there are competition issues for EU
citizens."
Richard Scudamore, the Premier League
chairman, came out in defence of the
Remain camp earlier this week, arguing that
it would be "incongruous" for him to back
the UK leaving.
Speaking on Radio 5 live he said: "There is
an openness about the Premier League
which I think it would be completely
incongruous if we were to take the opposite
position.
"Nobody bears the scars more than me of
having to go and negotiate in Brussels and
try and organise things a little bit in our
interests in terms of the European machine.
"Ultimately you can't break away, you can't
just pull out, you have to get in and
negotiate and try and organise and try and
influence."

Ibime:
Biafrans should organise themselves first and show they are capable of choosing good leaders.

It would be a shame to hand Biafra over to the Orji Uzor Kalus, Wikes, Amaechis, Ikpeazus, Iboris, Dicksons, Ubah brothers, Tompolos and Atekes of this world.

This is true...
Biafra are fighting for their own nation, same with niger delta avengers.
The question of who will lead them is the koko.

I'm sure some from Anambra will prefer an Anambrian as president, Some Imo will prefer an imolite same with Ijaw/Calabar etc..

chrisley024:
A new law?

Yup i think...They used Madrid as an example..
Non eu players there are James, Danilo, casimero.. if Britain exit from Eu, then Bale will be a non eu player.
Same as other players from Britain.
in this case madrid will have to let go of any of those afformentioned player.

The brexit will also mean, premier League club cannot sign players who are under 18years.

laliga club are allowed a maximum of three non Eu players in their team.

Kolade354:
lol, I understand your point bro. But that's how they told us U.k will remain in EU. We too should conduct referendum in naija.

Lol .many people won't vote.

Elxandre:
6 years ago bro.

Things must have changed na.

No, I know nobody there.

Contemplating on them, but must be sure I'm not wasting my money since I know get "leg" there.

Trust me you dont have to know anyone to get admission into school..
I didnt know anyone there too when i filled it.
I chose OAU as first choice and Lasu as second choice.

Once u do well in the post utme and favor on your side , you will be admitted. Lasu may change your course though depending on the needs of the dept, average score of other applicants too and also the numbers of indigenes who applied for the same course as you etc.
Nevertheless, do well in the post utme.

Kolade354:
We need referendum here in naija too.
Make we dissolve this marriage that will never work.
Give igbo biafra make dem go.

Lol.. You think Igbos who have businesses and properties outside the south east will abandon some of them to go start all over again ??
Most of my friends who are ibos ain't screaming the "Give us our Biafra "

Elxandre:
Many say you won't get admitted into competitive courses without choosing them. And I have to ask which year were you admitted?

2010.. Do u have a sibling or close friend there??

joshk:
and who is lying.hv u experience it before.am talking from experience

And I'm talking from hear say abi??

Elxandre:
Why do you think it's a lie?

Any firsthand evidence that shows them having admitted second choice on merit in recent years?

Myself and friends in my dept and other people too.
The key is to score more than 60 in post utme if you are a non-lagosian..
For Lagosians, Its pretty easy for you to be admitted.
I know people then who scored lower than 60 and were given admission .

Rushtec:
Pls what is mark up for eligibility for the screening test

180 i think

KangaIye:
Discrimination from the highest order. I smell lies and rats from LASU

How

joshk:
The second post utme is just ways of gaining additional cash cause 90%percent of dem won't get admission even if dey hv better results dan d first utme candidates, except u knw someone who knw someone

This is a lie

Mimexy:

We love you, God loves you more..


Our prayers are with other people who are also battling the disease called CANCER.
God is your strength.

Arsenate:
young ladies like you always make the wrong the decisions when it comes to dating because of your poor choices. I can bet my Arsenal Jersey that genuinely nice guys with good intentions have come your way but only to get snubbed by you. They probably don't have enough swags, looks, height and all the other BS.
You made the poor choices yourself. No one put a gun to your head. Live with the consequences and stop disturbing the peace of the Cyber world.

You spoke my mind

The day many people, ladies especially learn to accept responsibility for their choice / actions, the better.

Imagine her blaming guys not knowing she's to blame for not watching properly and making the wrong decision.
