G-14
David Dein was appointed President of G14 in October 2006 and used his time at the head of the organisation to try to reduce the tension between clubs and country and develop better relations between clubs and international governing federations such as UEFA and FIFA. At the time several legal disputes between clubs and FIFA and national associations relating to the release of players for international matches were on-going. It led to an agreement on compensation for the release of players for international tournaments.
On the day of his election to Chairmanship of G-14, David Dein stated: "I can see a negotiated settlement between all sides within the next 12 months,".He revealed that himself and Barcelona president Juan Laporta have held talks with Fifa and Uefa.
He denied that there were ever any discussions held at G14 on developing a so called “super league” whereby the leading clubs would compete outside the Champions League format.World Soccer May 2008
