Would you know if Fifa are still investigating alleged transfer irregularities which invlove the club signing minors?
I gather something has surfaced through footie leaks but not sure how this would affect previous investigations.
Many thanks.

{Ed002's Note - there are on going investigations about the transfer of minors from South America which are the main focus - in particular where passports of convenience have been obtained. Other investigations about minors have resulted in Liverpool and Everton being punished, further questions being asked of Manchester City but Chelsea and Arsenal have both answered the questions raised }

Kind of you to post on the Chelsea site Ed 002.
Have you answered the question anywhere else about changes that might come in regard to limiting the number of overseas players in PL squads after Brexit?
Not that I understand what Brexit has to do with it!
Thanks again.

{Ed002's Note - it is unrelated to brexit but different countries have different rules and there have been discussions about the number of non HG players in match day squads, but it would be a major change.}

Presumably the PL clubs would have a fairly strong position on this if it meant them being unable to compete with other top European clubs?
Personally I would like to see a requirement for at least one academy player in every starting lineup and maybe two on the bench.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, the clubs don’t like it. There have been many proposals made regarding the make but it is not possible to force clubs to effectively keep and use players they may not want to.}

If the FA were to impose rules regarding HG players in match day squads that were seen as too stringent, wouldn't that just further encourage a European breakaway league?
