[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 814592, member: 70871"] yes but over here there wouldn't be any pro test players without the clubs. I'm not so sure 'dictating' is the right approach for the unions. The stock car approach won't work over here. How about collaboration, mediation, negotiation that could lead to ...power sharing. Because that would open up more doors. Just a thought. Have you tried dictating to bi/millionaires? did it go well? Good luck with 'dictating' to the likes of Altrad Lorenzetti Michelin and Co. [I]FFR is in no position to dictate to the clubs[/I]. They have less money than our 30 pro clubs and LNR combined. They have lost the support of the big clubs. They're not in a position to shove the Global Season agenda down anyone's throat. They've used that approach for decades and it has failed miserably on many issues. Look at the massive club-country divide we have. Should the clubs not be stakeholders or drivers in this as well? Is there really a move underway by the unions to get the ball rolling on this or is this just all pie in the sky? Personally I'm not against the idea of a global season provided we have a clear idea of what it is. It's up to the proponents of that idea to articulate it in a clear and meaningful way. Right now we're not yet sure if we need a global season. [/QUOTE]
