Blatter was saying on news that its going ahead due to a majority vote in the rules favour.
Making it mandatory to have 6 english players in the starting eleven of teams i gonna be so tough. the quality of this great league will plummet rapidly.
Something has to be done to stop this shit.

FIFA was always going to ratify the rule. doesn't mean it'll fly in Europe.

this is not the 'homegrown' rule, since that could in principle apply to a lad from anywhere in the world.
what Blatter is proposing is strictly a nationalistic rule, backed by a nation-centric organisation.
it'll be interesting to see how they apply this to, say, a club like Cardiff City.
