English clubs agree to 'home-grown' quota.

England's Premier League clubs have agreed new rules on the number of "home-grown" players in their squads.

Premier England League, concordam com as novas regras no número de jogadores “feitos em casa” ou seja, “home-grown”.

From next season, each club will, at the end of every transfer window, have to name at least eight "home-grown" players in a squad of 25.

A partir da proxima temporada, cada clube, terá que ter em cada final da janela de transferencia, no minimo oito “feitos em casa” num plantel de 25 jogadores.

To qualify as home grown, a player. Will have had to be registered for at least three seasons at an English or Welsh club between the ages of 16 and 21.

Para se qualificar como jogador “feitos em casa”, o atleta, tem que ter sido registrado no mínimo 3 temporadas na League Inglesa ou Welsh club entre as idades de 16 a 21 anos.

In addition, clubs have been warned to adhere to new financial rules.

Em adicional, os clubes foram avisados para aderirem às novas regras financeiras.

In agreeing to a quota on "home-grown" players from the beginning of the 2010-11 season, Premier League clubs have been guided by Uefa's interest in the development of young players.

Eles concordando nesta cota de jogadores “feitos em casa” na temporada que começa em 2010-11. A UEFA tem interesse em desenvolver estes jovens jogadores e a League Premier vai estar orientandos todos os clubes.

"It will encourage youth development and the promotion of young players," said Premier League chief Richard Scudamore. "It's a rule which we think will give clubs an extra incentive to develop players, and to make a better return from their investment in youth.

“Isto vai encourager o desenvolvimento de jovens jogadores na Inglaterra”, falou o Chefe da League Premier Richard Scudamore. “Estas regras que nós fizemos foi pensando que darão um incentivo extra para o desenvolvimento de jovens jogadores, e dando um melhor retorno para estes investimentos nos jovens” aos clubes que aderirem ao programa.

"Make, rather than buy, is our intention."

“Será, melhor do que comprar, esta é nossa intenção”.

Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe welcomed the new rules.

O Ministro dos Esportes Gerry Sutcliffe da boas vindas a estas novas regras.

"These moves will encourage clubs to develop and bring through young talent and help ensure clubs are financially stable," he said.

“Estes movimentos vão encorajar os clubes a desenvolverem e descobrirem o talento do jovem ingles e ajudar os clubes financeiramente”, falou ele.

"I am pleased the Premier League intend to impose tough sanctions on clubs that take big financial risks that could threaten their future. Clubs must be sustainable for the long-term health of the game in this country."

“Estou satisfeito que a Premier Liga tenha a intenção de impor sanções aos clubes que tomam grandes riscos financeiros que possam afetar seu futuro. Os clubes tem que se sustentar por longos períodos com boa saúde neste País.”

According to a recent poll from the Professional Football Players' Observatory, English clubs employ the highest proportion of expatriate players, with 59.2% coming from abroad.

De acordo com uma recente pesquisa feita pelo Professional Football Player’s Observatory. Os Clubes ingleses são os que têm a mais alta proporção de jogadores “importados”, com 59.2%.

Liverpool have the highest percentage in Europe of expatriate players within their squad, measuring 90%.

Liverpool tem a maior porcentagem na Europa, de jogadores “importados” em seu time, são exatos 90%.

In addition, Chelsea were recently found guilty by FIFA of inducing Gael Kakuta to break his contract with Lens in 2007 when he was 16 which has opened up the debate on the tapping up of young talent.

Adicionalmente, o Chelsea foi recentemente achado culpado pela FIFA por induzir Gael Kakuta em quebrar seu contrato com o Lens em 2007, quando ele tinha apenas 16 anos, o que abriu um debate sobre o “aliciamento” de jovens.

Whilst Scudamore admits this ruling will not prevent clubs from recruiting young players from abroad, it will work towards reducing squad sizes and allow greater opportunities for young players to advance.

Whilst Scudamore admite que estas regras não proibirão que os clubes tragam (aliciem) jovens jogadores de outros Países, isto irá trabalhar para que se reduza esta importação criando grandes oportunidades para jovens jogadores serem trabalhados aqui mesmo.

"The clubs will always go abroad and look," he commented. "The important thing is are they looked after and is it done properly and I don't think we will stop that happening any more or any less because of this rule.

Parei de traduzir, porque eles não estão nem um pouco se importando em parar com os “aliciamentos” de jovens jogadores diferenciados, como a FIFA quer e têm regras, válidas para todo o mundo.

"I think it will reduce squad sizes, and stop the warehousing of players, if that is really what is going on."

Under the new measures, clubs will be able to boost their squads beyond the 25 limit but only by players under the age of 21.

The Premier League's new financial rules - which were brought in on Monday - are similar to UEFA”S current licensing guidelines, but differ in that they are compulsory to clubs and punishment takes the form of sanctions as opposed to outright exclusion from competition.

Each club will have to provide its annual accounts to the Premier League by 1 March every year, and show that it does not have outstanding tax debts, or debts to other clubs.

Clubs will also have to prove they can fulfill all fixtures and contractual obligations, and meet all payments due during a season.

As well as denying clubs the right to acquire new players under a transfer ban, the Premier League can also prevent them improving contracts with current players.

"It is absolutely essential that these clubs are run as viable, going concerns," added Scudamore. "We would far rather intervene than risk a club going into administration.

"The whole purpose of this is to protect the viability and sustainability of the clubs."

Earlier this month, Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie admitted that the club almost went into administration, having lived "way outside its means".

At the end of August, Sulaiman Al Fahim completed his takeover at Fratton Park but prior to that Pompey were forced to rely on other clubs, agents and the Inland Revenue agreeing to allow a delay on payments owed to them to keep the club afloat.

But the new rules do stop short of Uefa president Michel Platini's "Financial Fair Play" proposals, which are due to be approved by UEFA”S Executive Committee this week.

These seek to limit clubs to spend only what they earn from football-related income such as ticket sales and television deals and punishments could include the banning of clubs from European competition.

However, the new Premier League rules do not prevent clubs from amassing large amounts of debt, serviced by wealthy owners.

Last year, Football Association chairman Lord Triesman warned of the potential danger posed by what he cited at the time to be over £3bn worth of debt owed by English clubs, a third of which was accounted for by Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Chelsea reported losses of £65.7m up to June last year, while Red Football, Manchester United's parent company which is owned by the Glazer family, recorded a £21m loss last year to increase their total debt to £575m.

Liverpool's American owners recently renegotiated the club's debt with the Royal Bank of Scotland, believed to be £290m, and have extended it for another year.

But Scudamore defended the Premier League clubs' financial health.

"Contrary to what many people think, the clubs from a financial point of view are well run," he said. "They all have qualified accountants running them.

"These clubs are extremely well regulated both in company law and certainly when you add our criteria and UEFA licensing on top."

O que eles estão tratando é de parar as contratações milionárias de jogadores estrangeiros por seus clubes, mas se puderem pegar os jovens de outros Países, não importa e se vierem de graça, melhor, cada um sabe de si, esta é a regra, e é isso que entendi.

Vejam o que acontece hoje no Brasil, recém tivemos um jovem levado do Grêmio, das divisões de base, por um italiano que agora está aliciando mais 2 jovens promissores jogadores da escola de formação do Internacional, até porque o pessoal deste clube não entendeu as regras (expliquei numa outra reportagem, feita ainda hoje).

O que nos resta é nos profissionalizarmos, manter o departamento formador atualizado e com os encargos pagos em dia, do contrário não ficará ninguém aqui no Brasil. Já temos nossos próprios jogadores que jogaram na Europa, vindo com esta missão de serem “olheiros” e arregimentarem qualquer jovem diferenciado de qualquer maneira.

Estamos num Capitalismo selvagem e cada um sabe de si. Principalmente agora que a profissão do “Agente Credenciado FIFA” deverá ser extinta pela FIFA em 2010. Vamos ver o que se passa, já que deveremos ter uma avalanche de ações judiciais aqui e na Europa contra esta decisão irregular, mal pensada, e que denota que não é somente na CBF e nas nossas Federações que temos pessoas sem capacidade e sem conhecimento do futebol mundial, dirigindo este departamento.

A FIFA está atirando em seu próprio pé e deverá ter sua honorabilidade e decência posta a prova, certamente, que isto trará um “tsuname” contra a própria entidade que não está sabendo resolver seus imbróglios. Será um Deus nos acuda, aqui no Brasil e no resto do mundo, com certeza.
