Infantino on the sauce last night

[biffer]

Can imagine the FIFA comms guys waking up this morning and going 'Dafuq?'

Taking a leaf right out of Trump's book... seriously, if you're going to choose a role model, fk me, how about choosing more carefully!? 😂😂😂

And not content with that, he's now proposing to privatise the World Cup! And not content with that, one of the main contenders is Jared Kushner's brother! Talk about keeping it in the (crime) family.

Even the FA has objected to this. Any word from the SFA?

The fact that he considers that vile piece of shit a friend should be enough for the world football community to demand he be removed from his position. Trump is the biggest crook on the planet, a convicted fraudster (34 offences), a sex offender and a serial liar and warmonger and Infantino wants to sell (him) the World Cup so the cunt can make money out of it? seriously GTF. I didn't think Infantino could go any lower than that fucking disgrace of a "Peace Prize" but he's certainly trying. Get the **** and his fellow ***s away from OUR game.

Completely. Didn’t think FIFA and Infantino could sink any  lower than their extortionate ticket prices, water ad breaks, half hour half time and a peace prize for trump . But Infantino seems to have no boundaries or moral or ethical standards.Or crucially also any people, groups or bodies within FIFA or world football who are able to stop him.

Really does make you wonder how in the name of fk people like that get into these positions, they're clearly c****, is that what it takes? being a c***? FIFA as governing body should not be able to be manipulated to serve one man's desperate agenda/fetish/plan.

UEFA have voted to boycott the World Cup if this goes ahead. 

[Ally Bongo]

Infantino has enough votes in the bag so there is little doubt that this "idea" of his will pass triumphantly

It's what UEFA does after that which matters

If both sides don't budge on this then the only possible outcome is that the World Cup dies as the crowning glory of international football.

The likeliest outcome is that Infantino will back down or will be ousted.

Both the English and Welsh FAs have issued statements in support

Fuck all as yet from the SFA 

Probably all greeting in the toilets 

[biffer]

Full statement is worth a read, leaves no wiggle room

The SFA have put a statement out: https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/en/news/scottish-fa-statement-fifa-forward-enterprise

Quote

The President and Chief Executive of the Scottish FA today attended a remote meeting of UEFA nations to discuss the proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise.

The Scottish FA Board agrees unequivocally with the concerns raised by all members over the manner in which these proposals have been issued, and deadline set, without a full consultation process or consideration to good governance.

The Board is fully supportive of the statement issued by UEFA following the meeting. 

We are also aligned with our fellow national associations who seek to ensure our collective voice is heard resoundingly, and that the Corinthian spirit which underpins the beautiful game - invented here in Scotland and shared with the world - is protected.

Hope more governing bodies follow suit, then they should vote Infantino out of his position as FIFA’s top grifter.

For me the first time in my life I have to praise UEFA (and the FAs) for this decision.

FIFA GTF ASAP.

Bit of a shitebag statement with no threat of anything much

Yeah, but I think they had to for it to be a unanimous statement. 
 

Let’s not forget that historically CONCACAF was waaaaayhigh in the fifa corruption league.

Good news.

[Ally Bongo]

BTW UEFA are no angels or the potential saviours of the game for fans 

Their main reason for being opposed to FIFA's plans is that they could easily be a threat to the Champions League and the UEFA European Championships 

A World Cup every two years or a massive expansion to the World Club championships would have massive consequences for UEFA

Don’t think anyone is saying they are.

An absolutely outstanding statement. 100% agree with every part of it. Get Infantino out and restructure FIFA into a body that is fit for purpose to govern world fitba. 

[biffer]

Asian Confederation now made a statement opposing it.

 

While the CONCACF and AFC statements are nowhere near as strong as UEFA's, this should now be dead in the water.
