Platini's New Idea


We all know that the UEFA president Michel Platini doesn't like England and it seems he is trying his best to prevent the English teams from being as powerful as they currently are in the Champion's League.

This time he is trying to tax high spenders and the teams won't be allowed to play in the Champion's League or Europa League (next season the UEFA Cup will turn into the Europa League) until they have paid the tax that they owe.

Platini wants a more level playing field throughout European football so the teams who spend massive amounts of money on transfers (in other words English teams) will have to pay tax. The money from the tax will be redistributed to smaller clubs in their league.

I'm personally not quite sure what to make of it, personally Platini is doing my head in, it always seems that he hates the English and wants to prevent us from being so dominant.
It could be a good idea but I would expect the tax to be on £25 million plus but I believe it should be set at £35 million plus.

I suppose we will have to wait and see what happens.
