Well, in that case you can at least defend the notion that there should be some sort of criteria, provided you think it's a good thing that PL clubs are prevented from signing young players not because they need them right now, but because they think they might develop into a useful asset. Although the actual criteria used do seem pretty stupid.As are a lot of the rules for the foreign U18 players...
But a manager? Any manager hired by a PL club is by definition the person the club thinks is the best they can get in the world, for arguably the most important position in what is effectively a corporation that grosses more than 100 mill pounds annually. The notion that his suitability can usefully be assessed by the Home Office is absurd. The criteria they use, doubly so.
