It is being reported that Napoli fans will start a petition to bring their home town boy,Fabio Cannavaro to the Italian Serie A club.

Cannavaro's agent was quoted, the Italian world cup winner would want to return to his home town and even agree to take pay cuts.

However,Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis claims they "do not need" the player.

Since the Napoli club in itself is not taking the initiative to make a deal with Real Madrid who have the services of the player under contract till June,the radio channel decided to step up.

The radio channel,Radio Marte,has decided to be the intermediary between the public of Naples and the board of the club.They have started an online petition campaign which has already recieved 4000 signatures.

Now,this sure is a very interesting way to get a club to sign the player and have their opinions heard.Comparing this to the role of Scouts and Football directors placed on the clubs' board as is the scenario in Spain and Italy,this is very different. English club,Newcastle United tried to implement the same under Dennis Wise which didn't go down well with the St.James' Park faithfuls and also saw the resignation of Kevin Keagan.

If the same policy were to be implemented in major clubs across Europe,it would be highly interesting and the transfer rumours which were earlier started by the newspapers would be taken over by the people on the street.Arsenal would have at least one big signing in the summer,Real Madrid would get the real opinion on their "eagerness" to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and best of all,this would mean the smaller clubs would also get a bigger share of the transfer pie. This obviously means the end of the managers' say in the transfer saga.
