BLATTER PLEASED WITH MP INQUIRY




FIFA president Sepp Blatter has expressed his satisfaction at the All-Party Parliamentary Football Group for recommending that the Football Association and the respective Football Leagues adopt the FIFA proposed 6+5 rule.

The proposed 6+5 rule means that a team must only have five foreign player's in any starting eleven.

In Blatter's statement on FIFA's official website he states that they would like the rule to be implemented over several years so to ensure that clubs can adjust the composition of their teams.

The main argument for this ruling is for the clubs to invest in domestic talent and restore the competitiveness of competitions and to reach an harmonious development of football worldwide.

FIFA have obvoiusly watching the Premier League for some years now and all the millions that foreign investers are spending, maybe there wouldn't of been a problem if they had been spending the money on English players but with alot of money up for grabs in European competitions now, it would be hard not to bring in the world best player's with their high wages and when you bring them in, that's when you HAVE to qualify for Europe and if you don't the bubble bursts.
