Do you think Gerrard or Carragher would of got the opportunity as youngster if Benitez was manager then? I don't..

The quota won't come in anyway as it breaks the EU rules on employment..
tbh, that has more to do with the way Benitez manages the team than the number of foreigners in the premiership.

As for the EU rules on employment, they are under review soon and could include amendments that allow football clubs immunity.
That's why FIFA are trying to get this happening right now, while the opportunity is there.
