Correct.

What is most interesting is just what a difference playing in the group stages of the Champions League makes to any potential permit application.

It's easy to see why Tony bought USG. He wants to build them into a Brugge of the future. Then as an entity in their own right they can pocket between £20-30m just for reaching the group stages.

At the same time, as a feeder club for us, they potentially allow us to purchase non EU talent from around the globe, loan them to USG and box off 3 out of 5 of the work permit criteria.

Very shrewd business, if he can get them to that level.
Possible loan destination for Connolly and Sanders this season - or half season anyway?

Presumably most of these points also apply for Alexis Mac Allister too.

He is playing in the Argentine premier (listed in the top leagues) and Copa Libertadores, but is not an international.

Doesn’t he have a route to an Italian passport (or similar) I think I remember reading. Although whether that helps anyway post October 31st is anyone’s guess...

It will be most interesting when both of Tony’s team find themselves on the same group in the CL. Presumably the instruction will be to allow his first love top the group?

He is an international now is he not?
