The G14 is Dead!

Some really good news. The G14 has been disbanded and will be replaced in some respects by the European Club Association. The ECA will have upwards of 100 members (with at a minimum one from each of the 53 national associations in Europe).

Happy days for global futbol as the litigation goes by the wayside....I think that Blatter, Platini, Barca and Chelsea deserve a lot of praise for their efforts to end the G14 and unite global futbol.

Money quote from the head of Fifa president Sepp Blatter:

"The clubs, which are the basic cells of our game and fundamental to its thriving, are at last to become a part of the pyramidal football organisation."
