I don't like the fact that we're a whoping 13 games into the season and already have our possible champions wittled down to a possible two. But, forcing teams to play a certain number of homegrown players is going to hurt the likes of Blackburn, Bolton, and Portsmouth among others as you said. Chelsea would just run out and offer Aaron Lennon, and Dean Ashton outrageous amounts of money and never miss a beat. A lot of this comes down to the players. There are no more Matt Le Tissiers or Paulo Maldinis. So many players go RIGHT ACROSS TOWN to their bitter rivals for a few pounds more. As for technology, its needed badly and for more than just the goal line. Blatter is an idealist in desperate need of a reality check.
