In relation to all the differing scenarios suggested by all sorts of people and from varying sources, lets get one thing straight before we continue.
In Football, whether English League, English F.A., P.F.A, UEFA or any other body with some remit of control or governing stance, Rules are often thought up and often implimented with no more substance than are ultimately accepted by those to which the 'New Rules' apply.
It certainly won't be the first or last time an organisation like UEFA has drawn up a set of rules, that when first implimented are challenged from a 'Real' legal perspective, have been found to be full of holes, and have then been withdrawn or changed due to simple elements which would likely infringe unfairly on an even and open market.
Once, and only once these rules are effectively put into action and show for the first time, any signs of having a detremental effect on any Club, which would undoubtedly be claimed as being unfair and discriminatory, would there be a legal challenge. This would probably be in line with rules regarding Trade, Employment Law and similar such British and EEC legislation.
I have a sneaking feeling as in the cold war years, when it was a case of who's Russian scientists were the best, this matter will be down to who's organisation has the best team of legal experts.
Now who thinks for a second someone with the amount of money behind him that our sheikh has, he will be bullied by some French Tart and an industry employing Fcukwits like Garth Crooks, David Gil, Phil Gartside and Gordon Taylor?
The embarrassment about to be heaped on FIFA with the World Cup votes scandal is just another example of organisations who like to lay down the law, piously preach about their power and history of brilliance in sport, but when it comes down to it, they are clueless cnuts, who wouldn't survive for a second in the real world should their sheep like followers might stand up against their ridiculous ideals, decisions and rules based on nothing more than the pipe dreams and whims or power hungry half wits.
I don't think Platini's brainwave will see the light of day before it is squashed like an ant under the hob nail boot of some legal genius, and think our even giving it serious thought, is crazy, we haven't arrived where we are today, for some prick with illusions of grandure to steal our fucking thunder!
The future's bright, the future's BLUE.
