As Uefa heads for a possible new confrontation with the European Commission on EU competition law, someone who has a competition law background and has been involved in running a football club could be a valuable asset. Step forward, Katrien Meire: Luxury tax
Roland's idea of a football network across Europe may not have been directly encouraged by the European Commission, but it was very much 'dans le vent' at a time when the Commission saw football as a vehicle for promoting European integration. Of course, once Standard Liege was sold the network lacked a sufficiently impressive mother ship and the Commission has other issues to worry about.
I have to visit Brussels next month and while I am there I will see if I can find anything out about Roland and his intentions.
