Kenyon blast for Blatter’s snub

MANCHESTER UNITED chief executive Peter Kenyon has blasted the “short-sighted” attitude of FIFA and UEFA over their refusal to speak with the G14 group of clubs.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his UEFA counterpart Lennart Johansson have both declared they will not speak to G14 in an official capacity again as they are not a recognised body.

This stance has caused widespread anger among the 18 members of G14, including English representatives United, Liverpool and Arsenal, who do not see how the views of Europe’s elite clubs can be ignored.
