Before People start to bitch about arsenal doing this is invovles all the clubs in the G14 movement
Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has warned that the club may refuse to release their players for next summer's Euro 2004 championship in a row with governing bodies over money.
A number of top clubs - mainly from the elite G14 group - are thought to be considering withdrawing their players from squads for Euro 2004 over a disagreement with compensation.
Fifa have rejected compensation calls from the clubs on the issue and their stance has infuriated Dein.

"We believe Fifa make a lot of money at big tournaments like the World Cup, but who really makes the money for them? The players do - and the clubs are the ones who pay their salaries and have to pay their insurance even when they are not with us," said Dein.
"We don't' want to pull the pin from the grenade, because it's likely to explode. Everyone in football is making money except the clubs and it simply can't go on."
Bayern Munich are leading the fight for compensation and the German champions' president Karl-Heinz Rumenigge admitted they will not back down in the row.
"We'll not back down. We deserve what is right for the clubs," said Rumenigge.
