In the draft resolution, at the beginning of paragraph 1, insert the following sentences: "Too little money harms football, too much is killing it. We need to prevent football from self-destructing."
Explanatory note
It was not possible, for formal reasons, to have this text as a sub-title to the report as the rapporteur had wished. The Committee therefore considers that this text should feature at the very beginning of the draft resolution.
