10 Reasons Luis Figo Is The Wrong Man For FIFA

9. He Wants To Invest More Money In Grassroots Football

Figo wants to re-direct HALF of FIFA's multi-billion pound revenue towards developing grassroots football. That's fine... In an ideal world. But surely if there's any money to throw around, millions should be falling into the pockets of the mega-stars? Giving little Jimmy, 6, from Stoke-on-Trent, a pitch with actual grass to play on will not help the FIFA cause. No. Instead, FIFA should maintain the Blatter model. Sit on the cash and slowly line the pockets of the top brass for a slightly more comfortable retirement. Footballers are the lifeblood of the game. Without them, thousands of disgruntled fans will complain about paying to watch grass grow. The fact that footballers appease the masses on a weekly basis yet can only afford two mansions each is frankly barbaric. They need support.
