Totally agree with you Paul, with Platini heading up UEFA and Blatter in charge at FIFA I really do worry about the game.
The former’s certainly a xenophobe and the latter’s just a hypocrite, complaining about the foreign players in the english game when it’s a breeding ground for young talent the world over and in no doubt an integral part in developing football across the world, what he actually wants!
I think there’s a certain amount of bitterness from Platini, who if was born about 20 years later he’d have earned millions.
