GENEVA (Reuters) - European clubs are as much in the dark as everyone else over UEFA president Michel Platini's campaign for the FIFA presidency, the head of their association said on Tuesday.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of the European Club Association (ECA) and a friend of the Frenchman, said his members had "respect" for Platini and were convinced he would be a good FIFA president, but were still awaiting details of his bid.
