[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 86704"] To be fair though there isn't really a good compromise in this situation. Coaches are allowed to pull their players from "friendlies" but by doing so would probably annoy the player and make them want to change clubs if it hurt their international career. I have always thought that the English FA should charge clubs a "foreign player" tax based upon a certain percentage of that player's wages. Maybe around 1-2% would be fair and then the FA could use that pool of money to compensate the clubs when they play their players in internationals. This would have the effect of encouraging clubs to develop English players as not only would they not have to pay the "foreign player" tax but they would actually get money for having English players that are selected for their country. I do though agree that FIFA are **** but not because of this issue. I could a million-page article on just how **** FIFA is. However because of how powerful FIFA are and the sheer amount of influence that are able to yield it is really no surprise how corrupt they are. Imagine if I had that much power - I'd go insane and start developing my own nuclear weapons program. Muhahahahahahahah! [/QUOTE]
