Sepp Blatter, Platini and the 5/6 rule.

Not only do I applaud this move as 70% of the players in the Premiership last year were foreigners but I think it should be taken further.
We are not in Euro 2008 for the obvious reason.
It is not as if we do not have the talent, we do. But it is easier (and ye'gods cheaper) for the clubs to sign a 16 year old from the third world with proven talent, than take a risk (and spend the money) on a promising 9 year old from the UK.
Where I would take it further (and I would be interested to hear Blatter's and Platini's views on this) is to say that 70% of the managers in The Premiership should be from England too.
As it is we have the farce of Fabrio Capelli managing an England team when he does not understand the English style of play. The same was true of the much trousered Sven Goran Eriksson.
The Feck All have not got a clue and Brian Barwick can't hold a candle to the last great man at the F.A. Ted Crocker.
As usual they will dilly dally and do sod all.
