The not globalized football world, should it not get more out of any Fifa/Uefa deals?

Sir, I refer to Arash Aassoudi’s and Murad Ahmed’s “Fifa’s $25bn shake-up sets up clash with Uefa” May 17.

Out of this $25bn Fifa proposal we read that $2.4bn (4x $600m) will be given “in support to football confederations, national organisations and smaller clubs.” 

That’s less than 10%! In these days in which so much of the richness derived from globalization gets to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, should that support of the excluded not be… at least 51%?

FIFA is too Clubalised

Sir, David Owen reports, June 29, about “Fifa fund to compensate clubs for injuries” of the players, during a World Cup, among nations, and it sure does not ring right. If a player cannot play for his country because of other commitments, so be it, but to have to insure him to compensate his club or agent sounds like Fifa is turning globalisation into clubalisation. They are even arguing excuses for why they will not cover all of the losses of the clubs. If Fifa wants to go down this route, why do they just not forget about the countries and arrange the next world cup exclusively among the clubs they find most fit.
