Heavens! What’s going on? I actually agree with what he says in the Times today about European free movement and discrimination law, and sport: it http://www.gooakley.com/ really is no good ministers or sports bodies trying to find clever ways out the rules that prevent them trying to place limits on the number of foreign players. As David Pannick says, they’re almost certainly doomed to failure in the courts.
The government needs to negotiate amending legislation to create a carve-out for sport, if they really want to tackle this.
