Ex Man Utd & Chelsea's Chief Executive Peter Kenyon also involved and players involved are sold to Man Utd & Chelsea. Mmmmm. Interesting.Always thought that PK looked like a spiv when he appeared at 2008 Champions League Final wearing a full length leather trenchcoat. Man U v Chelsea, co-incidentally.

Well fear not folks. Sepp will sort it out. He's on his own little crusade......

Apparently he's going for re election because "his works not done!" so he says with a grin from ear to ear...........

the prem is doing a fine job in of inflating transfer fees without 3 rd party ownership. Blaming 3rd.party is rubbish This crusade imo is going to do very little good barring make the paper work easier for cheque swinging dumb arsed directors of football and greedy owners. all it will do is damage grass roots clubs in the back end of nowhere at the bottom of the chain that rely on 3.rd party funding to survive cos they cant get funding elsewhere and dont have a significant voice ie well connected directors of football to argue its case. just another bit of headline grabbin vote winnin <deleted> by the authorities thats actualy doing to do football as a whole no good just protect the rich no one else.
