Sepp Blatter - Moron or idiot or possibly both?

Does anyone here really give two hoots as to what Sepp Blatter thinks?

I thought not.

However he has stuck his oar in regarding the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga and reckons that the club should sell him should he want to move on like has been reported pretty much everywhere. Now that is fine and dandy, he is allowed an opinion, nothing wrong with his comments so far until he said this.

"I think in football there's too much modern slavery in transferring players or buying players here and there, and putting them somewhere,"

So footballers are like modern slaves? Well if they want the freedom to move from club to club each year they should only sign one-year deals. They aren't forced to sign these long contracts with bundles of cash in them. I have never seen a players with shackles around his arms and legs dragged into a boardroom with a giant iron collar and forced to sign on the dotted line.

To be fair I haven't been in that many broadrooms when a deal has gone down but I don't imagine it to be like that and if it were, then I really think it may of come out in the press at some point.

Footballers have a choice to go when a club accepts a bid for them, it isn't like in America where the league owns the players rights and if they are traded, then that is it, they are gone. If Manchester United accepted a bid for Ronaldo he wouldn't be forced out of the door, he could turn the move down if he so desired.

Sepp Blatter is an idiot and comments like these just confirm what most of us thought anyway. Modern Slavery I ask you. When people get in power do they have their brains removed as part of the deal?

Michel Platini is no better but I shall save my wrath for him for another day.
