I don't actually expect the government to pass any new
laws, but I thought I would send an e-mail to see if at
least the Premier would think about
enforcing the
existing rules.
Therefore while the «6 +5» rule is directly discriminatory and thus it would be automatically illegal for any club to
enforce it under
existing UK
law, the «Homegrown Player» could, in principle at
least, be defended on the basis of justification.
