Platini wages war on money men

[Maestro]

The manner in which he celebrated scoring the penalty in the 1985 European Cup Final after the horrors which had taken place only hours previously said a lot about the man to me. I've never forgotten that.

You would think that the fact that he was a top player and that he was on the field that night would have given him a advantage in his present role and a special link with yer average football supporter, but bollocks has it. He's as far removed from grass roots supporters as any UEFA suit ever was.....

Talk about irony.

uefa have whored themselves around all and sundry in order to gain creditable sponsors for the champions league. Then they introduce a second group stage to rake in even more money from the television. Then they take backhanders from third worlld countries who want to stage the CL final.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle sooty arse !

Football was looking after itself quite nicely until the CL was introduced.

PLATINI JUST GOT BITCH SLAPPED

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has rejected a plea from Uefa president Michel Platini for his help in curbing the influence of money in football.

MORE FROM STATEMENT:

"We believe that football can find a way forward. The recent Premier League broadcasting deal highlights this, with money being split amongst the league's clubs as well as being redistributed to the grassroots," said the spokesperson.

"We have made great strides through the Football Foundation with funding from government, the Premier League and the FA supporting over 4,000 community projects worth over half a billion pounds in seven years.

"There is no doubt that the influx of money into football is a testament to its success and has brought many benefits. It, of course, brings challenges too and we welcome the ongoing constructive debate within the game."

what a gob****e.......



"Platini's special adviser William Gaillard said that the former French international believed the billionaire backers of Manchester United and Liverpool were behind the opposition to plans to give domestic cup winners a Champions League spot."


"Gaillard was also quick to differentiate Liverpool and United's American owners from Chelsea's Russian owner Roman Abramovich and AC Milan's Silvio Berlusconi who he said Platini believes "love the game and are not just in it for the money"






So the french one is bothered by yank money ,

But for all those years the clubs in europe paid out the ass for players then cooked the books , got loans wiped out and indulged in other general tomfoolery that , i might add , if tried in england would have gotten us booted out of european competition .


Now could this have anything to do with the fact that us , the scum , rent boys and the gooners are tending to appear in finals and semi finals of the champions league with , to their eyes , an alarming regularity ?





french prick........

I detest Platini. The way he handled Athens made me want to rip his throat out.
The man is a **** and a weasel.

Bit unfair on weasels really.

Clubs in 'protecting their own interests' shocker.

What, exactly, did he expect?

What a knobend.
