A new brainwave from Blatter.He is plotting on working out a law which would limit the foreign players allowed in a club’s starting XI to five.Having too many “foreigners” in a team according to him is bad for the identity of the club -whatever that’s supposed to mean.He said..
“This is a matter of principle. We need to protect the national identity of the football clubs. The EU say that this is not possible based on free circulation of workers but in football principles are different – footballers are not workers and you must be 11 players not one.”
Eight reasons here why this latest brainwave is not one of the better ideas he’s had.
