FA chairman Greg Dyke: 'Some clubs will be against home-grown proposals'

FA chairman Greg Dyke believes that a number of Premier League clubs will be "against" the commission's home-grown proposals.

Chairman of the Football Association Greg Dyke has expressed his belief that some clubs will be "against" the proposal to increase more home-grown players into Premier League first teams.

Yesterday, the governing body's commission introduced plans to increase the number of home-grown players in first-team squads from eight to 12.

The FA has also stated that only the best non-EU players should be granted permission to play in England.

"There are going to be some clubs that are very much against, but we have to try," Dyke told BBC Radio 4 Today. "There's no point producing better young players if beyond that they can't get into the first teams. There are an awful lot of kids being taken into academies, but very few getting through.

"[Premier League clubs] could use the £5 billion to get the very top quality foreign players, instead of the bog standard ones. There are some clubs, however, like Southampton who have done it and done it well. Somehow, we have to get the clubs playing their kids. We owe it to them to at least give them a chance."

The FA plans to introduce the new system across four years from 2016.
