Aston Villa CEO Tom Fox Critical Of Greg Dyke's Home-Grown Quota Plan

Aston Villa CEO Tom Fox said that FA Chair Greg Dyke's proposal to increase the quota of home-grown players in the Premier League could "decimate" the academy system at clubs like Aston Villa, according to Alan Baldwin of REUTERS. Dyke has proposed raising the number of English players in club squads from the current eight to 12 "in a move to be phased over four years" from '16. Former England and club managers have "supported the proposals, designed to improve the national team's performance," but Fox said that was "not the case at boardroom level." Fox: "I am not supportive of it (the quota proposal) and, to be frank, I don't think I've spoken to a counterpart within the Premier League that is supportive of it. I don't think that system leads to the desired outcome, in fact I think it probably leads to the exact opposite outcome" (REUTERS, 6/10).
