Dear Editor,


The EU is not trying to take control of football. The Independent Review of European Football has merely given advice to UEFA, national football authorities and the EU about how football could be improved in Europe. Several of the proposals amount to spreading best practice from England to other countries. UEFA, and not the EU, have already permitted salary caps and limits on squad sizes.
