    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font size="2">Fifa will propose a limit on the number of foreigners who can play for a club and are also set to give players an official voice in decision-making.

    </font> <font size="2">Their proposal is the implementation of a six plus five system, whereby six members of a side must be homegrown. </font>
    <font size="2">The two bodies will also look at racism corruption, betting and doping issues.

    </font> <font size="2">Fifa president Sepp Blatter described the signing of the agreement between the two organisations as a "historic day" for football. </font>

    Blatter, flanked by FifPro president Philippe Piat and Barcelona stars Samuel Eto'o and Lilian Thuram, said: "The players form an important part of our footballing family and must be part of the decision-making at international level."

    </font> <font size="2">On the proposal to put limits on the number of foreign players, Blatter added that it would "protect the national teams". </font>
    <font size="2">"At the moment, clubs are not so interested in forming players because they know that later on, they may leave," he stated. </font>
    <font size="2">"We do not want to put an end to transfers but hope to bring back the local or regional base that existed previously." </font></div>This is a kickback for now, but longterm it should help improve England as a whole.

    I agree, this will be good for the English game. But it'll be a kick in the balls for the starting few seasons, football wise that is.
