Clearly added in point 10 to court controversy and attention to your article. Be a little more inventive mate.

Jack Warner’s got to be the most corrupt executive of FIFA in the history of the organisation.

Its interesting to me to look at the history of FIFA & its past & to see how its become better/deteriorated for the game. I’ve been doing some research on it. Anyone interested in doing an article on it (other than me)?

Graham – be sure to check out my article (should be up today) on the PFA. Later this week, I’ll also be looking at the Spanish, French and Italian PFA by way of comparison.

Whilst Collymore makes a valid point, one gets the impression that perhaps he may not have been the most receptive to aid. Footballers in this country are extremely lucky to have the PFA as a figurehead.

Interesting round up Ahmed.

Give me Â£2 billion and I’ll win the champiopns league with Watford!

I totally agree with Stan Collymore about the expectations on footballers. Very often these are young kids who didn’t get much education, because of their football, and then at the age of 18, 19, 20 start being paid thousands of pounds a week, given every afternoon of and get surrounded by people who will do anything for them.

In those circumstances I think it is amazing that more footballers do not behave badly or go off the rails. I certainly know what I would have done with ten grand a week and afternoons off when I was eighteen!
