“If you have a toss-up over a home grown player, we want the clubs to have the incentive to keep the home-grown player where at the moment you can have the argument that it’s cheaper to bring in players from outside…Philosophically, what we are doing is asking, ‘Is there more we could do to develop the English talent, which would negate the need to go abroad and look for talent? Can we do anything to make sure that the home talent is as good as it can be?’”
Richard Scudmore, the Premier League’s chief executive
