Part 2: Final Squad Listing Of the English Premier League (Blackpool, Bolton, Chelsea, Everton and Fulham)
Blackpool F.C: The Tangerines boss Ian Holloway did not have any problems naming his final twenty five man squad as he already had fifteen home grown players in the squad and had the opportunity of getting whomever he wanted and was basically not affected by the home grown quota rule.
The final Blackpool listings are: Alex John-Baptiste, Stephen Crainey, Malaury Martin, Ishmael Demontagnac, Charlie Adam, Neal Eardley, Robert Edwards, Jaso Euell, Ian Evatt, Matthew Gilks, Daniel Coid, Marlon Harewood, Dekel Keinan, Chris Basham, Brett Ormerod, Luke Varney, Ludovic Sylvestre, Gary Taylor-Fletcher, David Vaughan, Elliot Grandin, DJ Campbell, David Carney, Keith Southern.

Chelsea F.C.: The football manager was probably affected most by the home grown quota rule as was the Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti as the Italian manager failed to meet even the minimum requirements of the rule and had to settle with nineteen players in his squad.

Everton F.C: David Moyes’ the Everton manager was enraged at his clubs administrative mess up which led to the young talent Dan Gosling's move from Everton to New castle in a free transfer.

The squad consisted of: Mikel Arteta, Jan Mucha, Iain Turner, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov,Jermaine Beckford, Tony Hibbert, Tim Howard, Seamus Coleman, James Vaughan, Tim Cahill, Phil Jagielka, Louis Saha, Sylvain Distin, John Heitinga, Victor Anichebe, Leigton Baines, Steven Pienaar, Yakubu, Marouane Fellaini, Leon Osman and Phil Neville.
Fulham F.C.: Fulham had to see their star left back, Paul Konchesky leave them to join Liverpool on the very last day of transfers this season and this was actually a swap deal for two talented youngsters for Konchesky.
