Blatter, making it clear it was a personal opinion only, included punishments for racist chants, crowd riots and teenage transfer irregularities in his sweeping suggestions.

Blatter expressed his views today in Cardiff when he officially opened a new Football Association of Wales training complex in the Vale of Glamorgan.

But football's current problems were not far from his mind as he promoted football and sport fair-play initiatives.

Quizzed on his views on Chelsea's transfer ban after FIFA found them guilty of irregularities over the signing of former Lens teenager Gael Kakuta, Blatter felt points deductions should be an option in similar cases.

Blatter said: "My personal view is that it is right to say that points should be deducted for offences by clubs.

"The problem is that it is not easy under the rules to do that. Clubs can go to arbitration, but if it is then sent back to FIFA it can go to the disciplinary committee and then they can take the points away.

"It should be a way of punishing clubs in my view. Take the instances of racism, you can give £100,000, £200,000 fines but there is always someone who will pay that.

"But if you take away points, that will be an example. National associations and leagues must have the courage to do that, then things will stop.

"It hurts. But I would be in favour of points deductions. When you have crowd trouble it is too easy to say games should be played in closed stadiums; points loss is better.

"There are a lot of cases regarding transfer complaints on our desk. Clubs saying a player is an amateur is not a way out, it is question of the player's age not whether he has a contract or not.

"We will also be discussing soon the independent academy that has been set up in South Africa. Such places should be under the control of associations."

Blatter believes there are many other big clubs who are now concerned about their own position following Chelsea's transfer ban.

Chelsea have been banned from buying players in the next two transfer windows. The Londoners plan an appeal against the decision but Blatter believes there are other major clubs who will now be running scared of FIFA's stance.

UEFA president Michel Platini and Blatter have been vociferous in their denunciation of what they have described as "child slavery" and the two bodies are seeking to close loopholes under European Union law that allow 16 and 17-year-olds to move throughout Europe.

Blatter said: "We have now had a case (Chelsea) to analyse. It has been done by a committee with a judge and representatives of many clubs. That has now been settled.

"There are clubs now who are looking at their books, some have even announced that a certain player has no contract with them and he is an amateur.

"They have done this to try to make sure that the player does not come under the jurisdiction of congress."

He added: "The case we have just decided on is one with a player going from France to England.

"But most of the cases we have on our desk are from Africa to Europe or South America to Europe.

"They are taken at 14 or 15 years old with clubs saying that their parents are going too. But they get put into another family, and what happens to them...

"One out of, say, 20 has a chance to go on in their career. The others are left, and they need to be protected.

"There is an age limit in the FIFA statute that stops a player being transferred internationally until he is 18. The European Union is different, it is 16."

Blatter's view made it clear FIFA are intent on taking a strong stance on the issue.

He said: "We now have a committee where each case is dealt with individually to see if a transfer can be allowed or not, it is the start of greater control of our game.

"It is to protect the young players. I have been asked by officials in Brazil to stop the exodus of their young players.

"We will do the same in Africa. We are trying to organise leagues so players there can earn a decent living. That takes time but we have started because it is the only way to protect young players.

"This current issue happened two years ago, I do not know why it has taken this time. But there are so many cases on the desks of FIFA."
