FIFA should create Club Purchasing Ethics Commission to judge new owners, reveals Arsene Wenger

Marseille are another prime example with only Andre Villa Boas’ managerial prowess combined with him getting the best out of the players has seen the club finish second. But amidst what might be a new round of investors entering the fray, FIFA’s director of football development Arsene Wenger has admitted that FIFA should consider creating a Club Purchasing Ethics Commission. He also added that French sides need to be very careful with who they let take over their clubs as it could cause serious problems for their footballing microsystem.

“Perhaps we should create a Club Purchasing Ethics Commission to see what the real intentions of the people who buy are clubs are. You can’t squander a country’s footballing culture simply for financial reasons. Unfortunately, I think we’re witnessing a reverse phenomenon today. For example, take French clubs. They are gradually falling into hands of people who are not real builders for the future of the club, but rather investors who are seeking to earn money very quickly,” Wenger said, reported Goal.
