Chelsea are expected to turn down an invitation to join the group, but Newcastle, Spurs and Celtic could be new members. Platini and the G14 group are due to meet on 21 December. "The new organisation will be totally independent of Uefa and will have a real say on the contentious issues, such as player compensation while on international duty," added Alexander. "It will also have a say on the establishment of an international fixture calendar that doesn't disrupt the domestic league seasons too much. "Talks between Michel Platini and G14 general manager Kurth are ongoing but I understand a deal is not far off. "The new organisation will represent a far bigger church of European clubs and will have a real say in how Uefa is run and makes decisions." The G14 group has come into conflict with world governing body Fifa over its support for a number of court actions to gain compensation for players injured whilst on international duty. Belgian club Charleroi have taken Fifa to the European Court of Justice over a player who was injured while on international duty.
