Annex E
Letter from the Football League
WORK PERMIT
ARRANGEMENTS—1998-99 SEASON
I acknowledge reciept of your recent letter
in respect of the above, enclosing a copy of the new criteria
for issuing work permits for the 1998-99 season.
I have to advise you that the Football League
strongly object to the wording of the first paragraph under the
heading of "Introduction" which reads "Normally
this would be seen as the Premier League and Nationwide Division
One in England and Wales and the Premier League in Scotland.".
I have already had correspondence with you on
this subject (copy enclosed) when you initially proposed that
work permits should not be issued to Football League Division
Two and Three clubs and I must emphasise our objections in the
strongest possible terms to anything which seeks to discriminate
against a particular section of our clubs.
I look forward to receiving a revised document
at your earliest convenience to enable me to circulate the information
to all our clubs.
The Football League
