【英超】英國脫歐－是禍是福？＃Brexit
英國公投決定脫離歐盟令不少人大跌眼鏡，立即導致英鎊跌近一成，但匯率下跌也只是脫歐深遠影響的冰山一角。一眾英超球會早前表態齊心支持留歐，皆因英國失去歐盟成員身份對英超，甚至英冠及蘇超都有沉重打擊。最嚴重的影響莫過於來自歐洲各國的球員再無法自由於英國境內工作，必須申請工作證。工作證的條件非常嚴苛，今年剛修訂的新資格還是取決於球員來自的國家的FIFA世界排名和該球員與國家隊的上陣比例。
"Footballers for national associations ranked between 1 and 10 of the FIFA Aggregated World Rankings to have played at least 30% of competitive international matches (FIFA World Cup finals, FIFA World Cup qualifying groups, FIFA Confederations Cup, and continental cup qualifiers and finals (e.g. UEFA European Championships and qualifiers) in the 24 months (or 12 months for players under 21) before the transfer;
Footballers for national associations ranked 11-20 of the FIFA Aggregated World Rankings to have played at least 45% of games;
Footballers for ational Associations ranked 21-30 to have played at least 60%;
and footballers for national associations ranked 31-50 to have played at least 75%.Players that meet these criteria are automatically granted a work permit. As of 11 September only 50 out of the 161 European footballers in the Premier League met the criteria.
A player that doesn’t meet these standards, for example one playing for a country ranked outside the top 50, such as Poland, can put an application through an exceptions panel at the cost of £5,000 plus VAT."
長話短說，以上的要求到底有多難達到？看看以下不合資格的名單你就明白。

Coquelin、Mangala、Emre Can、De Gea、Payet,、Kante和Martial等球星都不符合上述資格，只能申請例外的特殊簽證。雖然以上述各人的名氣和英超表現要拿簽証還是十拿九穩，但次一級的球員就無法輕鬆達標，令中小型球會無法引入歐援，實力將被大大削弱。例如英冠的180名歐洲球員中就只有23能取得工作證，蘇超、英甲和英乙近150名歐援更是無人符合，可見情況非常嚴峻。 非歐盟球員一向都要申請工作證，所以很少未成名的南美或非洲球員可以直接由祖國轉會到英超，大多會選擇先到西班牙或法國等條例比較寬鬆的國家作為歐洲首站。如今連歐洲球員去英超也要經過反覆步驟，相信會令很多球會和球員卻步，英國各級聯賽的水平都會有所下降。長遠則可以逼使球會更重視本土青訓球員，英國球員將獲得更多資源和機會。但財力雄厚的英超勢必扭盡六壬維持競爭力以確保充足轉播費和廣告收入，利益與本土發展的矛盾難免會加劇足協和聯賽賽會的摩擦，前景依然非常不明朗。
脫歐涉及繁複的談判和法律磋商，短時間内未會突然廢除外籍球員於英國聯賽上陣的資格。但可見未來歐洲球員登陸英超定會比現在困難，過往如車路士、曼城等只顧從外地輸入外援而忽視青訓的球會應該未雨綢繆，盡早為未來發展打算，引入本土球員的同時更要規劃完善的青訓系統。眼看英超被外援主導，英格蘭國家隊始終無法追上德國西班牙的級數，脫歐對於英國球壇雖有打擊，但長遠而言未嘗不是個進步的好機會。
