World Cup Tournament being sold off.

So pleased he has seen reason and backed down. Think one person having so much power has led to corruption.

Good, now he needs to resign.

Not now. He’s backed down.

By that I mean Sepp Blatter as well.

Infantino has now abandoned his plan because it "created divisions". Well done to EUFA for making their initial protest and for the other associations which supported them. Looks like the rest of FIFA no longer trust Infantino so this might be a good time for all the associations to see if reform of FIFA is necessary to stop all the power being in the hands of one person.

Yep FIFA needs to be overhauled with a body of people in charge rather than one person who over the past couple of decades has been shown to be corrupt.

IMO, this is a disgrace.

From what I know many of Trump’s relatives are involved with this and the entire nonsense around the so called Peace Prize, leaves me with a nasty taste.

Another underhand deal with the same person at the centre…

Yes always there lining his pockets , how anyone can think he is good person is beyond me.

He truly is a danger to the world.

The Asian football organisation (sorry, forgotten the name of it) has also said that it will not support Infantino's plans. That should be enough to scupper them! 🤞

Fallingstar I think greed clouded Infantino's judgement.

Indeed, there is that 😕

The brother of Trump's son-in-law is behind the company who wants to "invest" in the new FIFA company. That explains how freindly the Orange One and Infantino were during the World Cup.

Ah didn’t read this first. Of course this makes sense. Whilst Trump’s son in law is presently adding the possible decimation of Europe’s largest Flamingo reserve in Albania to build a mega holiday resort to his portfolio, his brother is hand in glove with Infantino.
Makes the Mafia look like a Sunday school picnic.

So Burnham has said Infantino isn’t the right man for the job and a senior member of staff with FIFA has resigned.
The fact is Infantino allowed politics to cloud his judgement during the World Cup when he bowed to Trump’s wishes and is now suggesting selling off the World Cup. Trump and Infantino were as thick as thieves during the World, ‘not so great minds that think like’.

Uefa and Concacaf, Uefa’s North America counterpart, have said they will boycott the world Cup if this happens. According to the FT these two associations represent almost half of Fifa's membership.

If they stick to their guns I can't see it happening.

The deal with Trump was on the cards long before the USA hosted the World Cup.
