For quite some time now, Michel Platini - The President of UEFA has been expressing his feelings on the crazy money going around through transfers. I admire the fact that, he realises this cannot go on. I also admire the fact that he wants to do something about it.
But a week back, I was flabbergasted. Michel Platini came out and confirmed that he had the support of many club owners in his fight against the crazy transfers. One of the few mentioned was a certain Mr. Roman Abromavic. In fact, Platini went as far as saying that it was Mr. Roman who had initiated the talk regarding the crazy transfers. I was shell-shocked - at the hypocrisy.
Wasn't it a certain Mr. Abromavic who inflated the market with his millions a few years ago? And now that, the credit crunch has hit him too, and the fact that he cannot spend like he did once before, he doesn't like/want others who have the money, to spend?
I am all for the cause. However, I cannot and will not accept the support of the man who apparently initiated the move.

I cannot recall where I read/heard about this a few days ago.
Transfer fee capping - surely has got to correlate with salary capping.
As Mr. Keys loves to say - rules of free trade will prevent this in Europe.
We live in interesting times, all right.
I agree that salary capping will come into the picture if at all, transfer capping comes into play...But salary capping is another story...
As for Mr. Keys, he may well be spot on...
But if it happens, it'll open a new can of worms for sure...
