Ilori shouldn't be homegrown under the rules?

Neither are, though not sure why Dier should be more entitled to being homegrown than Ilori other than the fact his name ends in a vowel, given both were born in England then moved to Portugal as a child

Surely it should be down to nationality status.

If you were born in this country you naturally have British nationality status.

If you acquire British Nationality by another route then you should be eligible to be classified as British and qualify under the home grown player status.

I think the Home Office would be wise to British clubs trying to exploit this by scrutinising applications from football players for British Nationality quite closely. Other factors should be taken into account.

Homegrown rule does what is says on the tin regardless of nationality.

Maybe there should be a club grown rule quota and a national grown rule quota.
