With the CAS announcement due tomorrow (13th July), there is again talk that if we are totally exonerated, the G14 will leave UEFA to form a breakaway league.
Currently FIFA are the sole "guardians" of Association Football, with subsidiaries like UEFA, CONCACAF, African Confederation etc governing the game in their continents, with National Football Association's affiliated to the subsidiaries, and within the national FA,s regional and schools associations.
If the G14 decide to breakaway from UEFA then they will be outside the FIFA "footballing family".
If I recall correctly, when Kerry Packer set up his "alternative cricket" structure, the International Cricketing authorities banned all involved from all their games for a large number of years.
If FIFA allow an alternative game to be played, then they would be required to take strong action.
I could envisage a large press conference announcing that Nited, red Scouse, Bayern, Barca, Real etc will be forming their own league, "corporate partners" broadcasting etc.
If FIFA then announce the next day, anyone, corporation, players, officials, broadcasters etc involved will be barred from ALL competitions under the FIFA umbrella will be banned for a minimum of ten years, it would kill the breakaway stone dead.
Your son is offered a place at a Liverpool academy, but even though he is 11, knowing that if he registers, he could no longer play for his school?
If you advertise on MUTV you can't advertise at Droylsden or at the World Cup?
You play for Juve your international career is over?
Their under 15 team can only play 13 other clubs etc
Could this go the way of Rugby when Union demanded players remained amateur while League embraced professionalism?
Could be interesting times ahead.
Just hope that the result tomorrow morning is the correct one.
