** DIARRA SPECIAL ** An ECJ Ruling Against FIFA that will change the landscape of football. What will be the impact for players, clubs, FIFA & agents from the ruling by the European Court of Justice?
Description
In this special episode of 'The Agents Angle' the focus is firmly on the recent ruling from just 4 days ago at the ECJ (European Court of Justice) in the case of former French international footballer Lassana Diarra* vs FIFA*.
With the case being of Belgian origin, the show is joined by Willem Alexander-Devlies (of Altius and ATFIELD Sports Law), an expert on Belgian and European sports law to look further at the ruling and the impact it may have.
Whilst some have labeled this ruling as 'Bosman 2.0', 'The Agents Angle' aims to take a pragmatic view on a subject whereby a 'major ruling' that 'will change the landscape of football' MAY not be as 'earthshaking' and an end to the current transfer system as some have said (or hoped).
