    Yes that’s 200% corporate speak……We were sent on courses to b/s and spin just using words.
    Used properly one never can get caught out lying, because of phrases like “competitive” , “sustainable spending” and so on.

    As I say Dave I can recall the letter without digging it out. More corporate and governmental speak Dave.

    “ We have spent a record amount on the Eductation Budget…..”

    Last year £500,000,000 , this year £500,000,001…….Umph!

    Nah, Odsal one night , that was the pits. Loads of us got towed out of one of their “ special” car parks with a tractor. Fully booted and suited as I was working in Halifax at the time, straight to the game from work.

    Forget the dogshit cup. Our manager is a liar. He said he would go for every cup yet has played the outcasts. He’s another liar. I prefer the kids to play but our manager is another clog at the club who lies

    The EFL squad lists were released today and we do have a fair amount of free space if we were to dip into the free agent pool.

    For a player to be considered home grown by the EFL, they don't necessarily need to be British (they can be any nationality) or to have been trained by that specific club.
    All that is required to qualify as home grown is to have been registered with any club affiliated to the FA or the FA of Wales for at least three seasons or 36 months prior to their 21st birthday (or the end of the season they turn 21).

    Do we have an explanation from the EFL for this elastic definition of home grown? I will shorten my question to What is the point?

    It's one of the EFL Regs. I think it's at least 8 of the squad list have to be Home Grown Players. Of course by HGP, they mean having been developed for some of their early years at any club affiliated to the English FA. As an example Fabregas was a HGP! That's quite different from having to have a Club Developed Player (CDP) which is at it says in the matchday squad. Fabregas also met the CDP definition! It all makes a complete mockery of the objectives of these criteria which was to encourage the development of domestic players and reduce the dependence on foreign players.
