Σύμφωνα με το καταστατικό UEFA, το "Professional Football Strategy Council", δηλαδή η ελληνική "Επιτροπή Επαγγελματικού Ποδοσφαίρου", δεν αποφασίζει η ίδια για το επαγγελματικό ποδόσφαιρο, αλλά εισηγείται και αναφέρεται ευθέως στην Εκτελεστική Επιτροπή (ασκώντας, σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο, "μείζονα επιρροή" στη λήψη αποφάσεων της Ε.Ε.). Γιατί άραγε επιμένει τόσο πολύ η UEFA σε κάτι που δεν προβλέπεταιστο δικό της καταστατικό;
