Once again going back to a foreign limit when the recent successes in Europe came off the back of teams with predominantly foreign players is only a recipe for disaster.
A foreign limit isn’t going to change players in the youth ranks to Messi’s or Ronaldo’s.

Pump subsidised money into youth development across the board and encourage it country wide.
