Super. Surely that's it dead in water now.

[J70]

Has to be.

f**k Infantino, Trump and the Kushners.

Vile scum, the lot of them.

Depends how stubborn / shameless he is. He might just stick at it.

Unbelievable how shameless this boy is.

He will. But the reality is even FIFA have a governing body. He just needs to figure out how to get this done with no vote and without a no confidence vote if he tries.

The Indo had an interesting piece about his appearance at the pre WC shindig. A 70 minute rant. The fella says he had never seen as self deluded and arrogant a performance. The journo was basically saying this was inevitable when you arevthat detatched. Even John Delaney stopped to talk and listen at his rallies.

[imtommygunn]

His new buddy and him sound well matched.

Could this allow a shove. Like why do they need to sell off any rights if they are sitting on Billions?!

If the Trump dynasty get their claws in to this new venture they will be back in the USA every four years, or wherever Donald wants to do business.

Luckily theres not 4 more years in Donald and I don't think the lunatic asylum will have the same power when he goes.

UEFA 1 Infantino 0
proposal thrown in the bin.

[marty34]

I just assumed that Infantino was Italian.


Just read he's Swiss.


Hopefully he gets the boot and doesn't get another term. When you see the money men behind his failed attempt to go private with soccer, you'll know why.


Trump's family and cronnies. Such a nice bunch.

Gianni Infantino is facing an ultimatum from Uefa: resign or face an emergency no-confidence vote.

It is understood all 55 of Uefa's member nations would opt to oust Infantino in a vote of no-confidence if he refuses to step down. Uefa can trigger such a vote with just 43 member nations.

If the c***ts were any good they'd have got rid of him years ago. Wouldn't expect the c***ts who wont even kick Israel out to do much right

No chance of him getting kicked out.. African FAs are bought and paid for same for the North American FAs. Asia probably 50\50 - Don't think they'd have the votes to sack him.

Qatar releasing a statement backing him because of course them tramps would

now seems that when you join the dots, the 2026 World Cup was a glossy brochure for private investors to parasite off the game of football in the future. The absurd ticket prices, the hydration breaks, the half time show, the bending of the rules for entertainment, not sport.
