uttoxram75 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I thought it was the players at first but its actually the Clubs organising the strike.... France’s top tier football clubs will go on strike at the end of November in an act of protest against the government’s plans to impose a 75 percent tax on earnings over one million euros, the country’s Union of Professional Football Clubs (UCPF) said on Thursday. "There will be a weekend without a game at the end of the month (of November)," Jean-Pierre Louvel, the UCPF president, told a news conference. “People will be welcome in our stadiums, but there will be no games.'' The strike will affect Ligue 1 and 2 matches from November 29 to December 2. The UCPF announced they were considering such a move earlier in the week, when they threatened to boycott this weekend’s matches. The union fears that if the government moves forward with plans to impose the tax, which is due to come into effect in 2014 and 2015, the country’s most talented players will be driven away from national clubs, damaging French football as a whole.

Ambitious Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 That is crazy, No matter how much I earned if someone said give me 75% of your wage, absolutely no chance. I bet players in that division can't write transfer requests quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I like the bit "people are welcome to the stadiums but there wil be no football". Maybe said with a Gallic shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
