It really gets me all pissed off and I may throw about some solutions but really, I am in no place to really inform or prescribe. So who is? Who are going to be the leaders in the football community that take a step forward to attempt to save the game. One thing I do know for sure. It's not going to be Sepp Blatter or Michel Platini. :smile: @Red Ranter: It is a very frustrating subject now isn’t it RR?

It would mean the rules would be restructured so as to facilitate the continued European dominance -- hence poaching of players from African and other leagues. My point is they will find a way around it. My solution is not to see football crash and burn as you said. But again I've thought enough about this issue to see that it's not as straightforward as you put it. You suggested a solution and I didn't. So does that make your solution good? I'm not sure -- which is why I said I feel your solution doesn't work. My point is, the football that you see today is already corrupted -- so if one really fears for greed consuming the game then he ought to have quit long ago, like your friend George did. Football may go bust, but getting your solution to work will be next to impossible considering the legal quagmire that awaits it. @Grognard: You said all football must start and end at Europe and FIFA must facilitate that.
