Still pretty much in the dark , it sure takes some understanding, maybe Chris Phillips could do an article to enlighten us, or the club tell us more ,or the Trust advise us?
As I understand it EFL rule 43.9.2. states League 1 and 2 clubs must have 22 Players registered on their squad list of which 8 must be Home grown. This reduces to a squad list in perpetuity from next season to 20 with 8 Home Grown. However rule 43.9.2 states that players under the age of 21 do not need to be counted into the squad list
Rule 43.9.3 states that the above 2020 squad list has to be submitted 24 hours after the conclusion of tis Summer window, presumably on the 17th October
( Incidentally A maximum of 5 loan players can be named in a matchday squad,)
Mitchell Nelson, Rich Taylor, Kinali, Egbri Kelman Rush ,Seadon and Acquah are ALL under 21 years of age , so presumably would not need to be included in our submitted squad list.
On the other hand who would be the 8 Home Grown ? 18 of the submit able squad list of 22 could be.....Ox, Bwomono, Kyp, Dieng, White, Ralph, Demi, Lennon, Clifford ( age 22 ) Hobson, Macca, Gard ( age 22 ) Kyle Taylor, Green, Goodship, Akin and Nat George. and I have had to include Klass ( age 22 ) so of this 18, only 4 could possibly qualify as Home grown Phillips is aged 22 though
To get to the 8 Homegrown in the 22 squad list to be submitted in a couple of weeks, would 4 of the above 8 youngsters need to be on the list for us to meet the rule requirement ?
Easy peasy aint it?? Nurse help Anyone able to offer greater clarity?
Other than Mellis and Olayinka's extension which only happened about 12 hours ago it was up to date.
