Blatter at it again!

[tip top]

What an utter cock.

The sooner he's sacked the better.

Sky Sports | Football | Premier League | News | Blatter - Let Ronaldo leave

 

[Hiney]

Sepp Blatter is a complete and utter BUFFOON

 

[che]

Sepp Blatter = Maffia

 

[Tooting Gull]

I don't remember slaves getting £6m a year in the old days.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Mr Blattter is a knowledgeable and likeable chap who fully realises that footballers are slaves.

Fancy a bit of £160,000 per week slavery anyone ?

Thought not.

 

[chez]

I think he is dead right on this occasion. The "Modern Slavery" bit may be over the top but he's spot on in what he is saying.

How can you say that? Ronaldo signed a very, very well-paid contract - he's got is it four years left? No one held a gun to his head.

The reality, of course, is that keeping an unhappy player however good wrecks a squad's morale, and his transfer value goes down.

But in the short term, at least while they are fighting to change his mind, United are well within their rights to make life very awkward.

I read those Blatter comments, and - taken in conjunction with his refusal to do anything about Madrid's blatant tapping-up - you wonder if he is on the take here. It's outrageous for the head of FIFA getting involved in one player's future like that.

Word.

He's obviously anti English with his comments and decisions through his term as president.

Wasn't there a program a while back where they pretty much proved that fifa was corrupt?

I did live there for many years - but moved out to ADDLESTONE a while back and never bothered changing the name. Apologies.

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Man Utd | Blatter would back Ronaldo move

I was just about to post on the same topic. BZ signed for West Ham until 2011, isn't getting the foorball he wants, WH let him talk to Fulham. No problem.

Ronaldo signs til 2012 (?) a few months ago, decides he's had enough, wants to go. What on earth are contracts for? Hardly anything approaching 'slavery' as Blatter so elegantly puts it.

Pre-Bosman, Blatters comments may have held some substance. The current situation is totally different. Footballers have complete freedom of movement / employment. They are free to go wherever they want, and negotiate whatever salary they desire. Once they have chosen the club they like, and persuaded that club to pay them £x per week, over a pre-determined timescale, the lawyers will put all that in writing, on a document called a 'CONTRACT'.

This 'CONTRACT' will then be presented to the player and his representatives, and IF HE WANTS TO he will sign it. That's it for me. You freely choose to sign a three year deal, then get on with it.

I read yesterday that there was uncertainty over Robert Green's future, as contract negotiations had stalled, and that Aston Villa were monitoring the situation. Fair enough, I thought, until further on in the same article I read the words "...Green, who has four years left on his current deal...." WTF? The situation is ludicruous.

 

[captainmorganrum]

But Blatter rules INTERNATIONAL football, and quite frankly the clubs are a pain in his arse, getting all uppity, wanting more money, wanting FIFA and UEFA to pay the players wages when they get called up for their countries.
He has no need to protect the sanctity of contracts.
It's all part of a bigger power-struggle. He wants clubs brought down a peg or two.

He's still a prize COCK-KNOCKER though.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Hmmm... don't think slaves earned £100K per week, Sepp, you knobber

Indeed.

 

[Walkers Cajun Squirrel]

I agree that ronaldo should be allowed to leave if he wants but baltter should not have got involved.

 

[Brovion]

Addlestone eh? Do you know a pub called the Waggon and Horses? Apparently Sepp Blatter uses it.

(No he doesn't but I didn't want to be accused of taking the thread TOO far off topic!)

 

[Easy 10]

I agree that ronaldo should be allowed to leave if he wants

Why ?

But this is the only industry where human beings are regarded as financial assetts by their empoyeres and can be traded onb the open market and sopld to the highest bidder.

doesn't sound a whole world away from slavery to me

from the OED
slave one who is another's property; human chattel: helpless victim
