G- 14 DISSOLVED!!

...... A New Dawn in Football Powerplay

This is a huge storm that did not announce or advertise its arrival. Early this year, in an extraordinary show of understanding and corporation, the group of 14 which consist of the biggest clubs in world football agreed with FIFA and UEFA to cease to exist. The event passed in a quietly without screaming headlines and long lines of commentary, but it one of the biggest acts in football since the Bossman Ruling. The G-14 was seen in football circles as the Enemy Number One of International football and its agreement wilth FIFA especially does more than raise eyebrows.
The G- 14 (consisting of powerful global football brands such as Manchester United, Real Madrid,AC Milan , Barcelona, Liverpool among others)was the most powerful grouping in terms of financial muscle and sheer influence and its lobbying posed a threat to the survival of International football. Their interests were diametrically opposed to the interests of International Football and actions such as their support to Charleroi in their battle against the Moroccan FA. The Sepp Blatter led FIFA was vocal in their opposition to their increasing influence in the global Game. Many battle lines were drawn and there was no love lost between the influential leaders. For them to agree to disband is a big boost to both FIFA and the ego of Mr. Blatter. Even though they do not exist anymore, the trend of football indicates that the ever-increasing commercialization of the game will mean G-14 in another guise will continue to jealously guard its commercial interests
