must continue to work with the players I have and I'm very happy to do that. The wording of the agreement was adjusted and published by FIFA in December 2006: In October 2008, Spanish striker Nacho Novo said that he would apply for a British passport if it meant he'd become eligible to play for Scotland. The SFA stated that he would not be eligible as they would abide by the agreement. 2009 agreement The agreement was completely revised in 2009 following a rewrite of the FIFA statutes in 2008.
