UEFA considering limiting club spending...

Quote:

Michel Platini says Uefa is considering the possibility of capping spending by clubs because football could "financially implode".

The 53-year-old former France international added: "That limit would be salary and transfer fees combined - to an as yet undecided percentage of its direct and indirect sporting revenue."

Platini stated that one club's "astronomical bids" were "morally" questionable.

It's probably just an idea for now, but if instigated, what kinda affects could this have for English football?

Now me and Adam are about to insert some knowledge into this thread. Firstly it conflicts with the European law. And you really think Barca, Real Madrid, Manchester United etc will sit back and let this happen?

He's just saying it to keep the current big clubs big and the small clubs small, thinking they'll accept. They wont, simply because how will they spend their money? £100,000,000 for Ronaldo to RM???

He can **** off back to his G14 pals.

I think I'm with him on this one, but Michel Platini is a **** regardless (who just hates the Premier League). I don't remember there being all this hoo-haa when Zidane was sold for £70M.

Sure have but they're in Spain, France and Italy! As soon as it's an English club it's different with this guy. He's a ****, can't wait for the new votes.

this will never happen anyway. as long as there is always people paying for tickets, merchandise and SS subscriptions then there will always be a phenomenal amount of money in football. i like it, it puts the sport up above the rest.

Michael Platini hates anything English... I really don't like him :P but anyway he is actually doing the correct thing this time :O!

Doubt it will go ahead though.

Also, shouldn't the head of Fifa be English? after-all we were the country that created football :S.

FOREIGN ********.

Platini's is helping smaller clubs and smaller leagues. I suppose the English like Sepp Blatter. :rolleyes:

Not a bad idea really, not a bad idea at all. Thing is though, don't FIFA get some sort of commision or something for big transfers, or do they get nothing like that?

I hope they do it though, It'd quell the fears of most football fans who think the league is going to **** because of money. Hell, I've heard it from Liverpool & Man Utd supporters. O_o

Matty it depends on whether you are a straight man hanging out in a gaybar, or a gay man hanging out in a gaybar.
