First off, I apologize for posting this here, but I thought since more people browse these boards my question may be answered quicker. In Worldwide Soccer Manager, I manage in England, but every time I sign a player on a transfer and they need a work permit, it is ALWAYS denied. I still don't know all the rules of international football. Is there someone who can explain why that happens? Thanks!

The if he is good enough for Chelsea then he qualifies exemption must be too obvious to state Thanks for the info been looking for a concise explanation, up to 5 years explains the Drogba queries in our thread earlier.
Those are the new rules, at the time Drogba signed for us, it was 3 years. However, Drogba has since become a French citizen (or so I read) - so the whole permit thing for him is now moot.
How did Jay DeMerit (Watford Defensemen from Green Bay WI) get around this work permit issue? He signed a contract first with Watford when they were in the Championship, having never played on a MLS side, and never appearing for the national team. THe best he did was play with a reserve squad. When he first got to London he played for a semi pro club who had a friendly against Watford and then he got a chance. While I hope the best for him, I am curious if anyone knows how he got around this rule.
yes i am curious about this rule too. there was a korean player who played for Sheffield? i dunno, but he didnt have any caps at all. his name was Lee San
