Don’t Hull have a lot of Kolpak players as well?
The only way around it is to temporarily increase the overseas quota while existing contracts are honoured. Even than that isn’t a guarantee this will avoid problems as RL can’t take it as a given the Home Office will grant the necessary visas or there won’t be mistakes made by clubs and players that remove their right to work here.
Existing contracts will probably have three years or less to run so it still leaves clubs who might otherwise have renewed these contracts or brought in other Kolpak players to replace them with an issue. However the last thing I want to see is a permanent increase in the overseas quota so clubs can carry on as they have been because that would just encourage other clubs who don’t have so many Kolpak players to join in and stop producing their own players.
