It ain’t over til JD Vance visits to support
Is there no process in the USA to remove deadwood as the UK has just done?
Ceferin seems to be one of the few good guys. If I remember correctly he was also the driving force in the fight against the Super League project.
Is there any chance for him to become the next FIFA president?
I was listening to some ex-FIFA dude before who reckoned , despite everything , he’ll be re-elected.
Really not sure after all the statements from the football politicians in the last few days.
Could this be his downfall? One step too far? Hard to tell… Anyway, any well-run organisation wouldn’t tolerate the same twat running it for ten years in a row. That alone is a reason to replace him right now.
Also, if the touted numbers in the above article are correct (30 millions a year? Freaking hell…), then states needs to have a serious look at the salaries of these representatives.
Basically, we are back in 2016 in terms of lack of financial transparency and corruption. Strong judges are needed.
One hopes so. I hope it could be the end of FIFA as it exists now. The whole cash for votes thing will be abused by the next crook.
Sorry, but this forum is getting fucking embarassing. Any AI slop is quoted, liked and commented on regularly.
If this isn’t slop, then present a source and I’ll gladly apologise - where/when did Klopp say that and to who. Or did he talk to ‘Football History Newspaper’ directly? Otherwise maybe delete stuff like this.
Yes indeed, I checked this and didn’t find anything from a serious source. All posts have thus been deleted.
Thanks! ![]()
Well that sucks.
There are two, but both are useless.
He can be removed by his Cabinet - who are all MAGA sycophants.
Alternatively, he can be impeached and removed from office. That requires articles to be passed in the House, a Senate trial, and then a 2/3 rds majority vote in the Senate. But Congress abdicated their constitutional responsibility years ago
FIFA row: Wales withdraws support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election next year, Sky News reveals
The Football Association of Wales has told Sky News’ sports correspondent Rob Harris that it is withdrawing support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election. It follows the loss of confidence in the FIFA chief’s leadership after the botched bid to sell off World Cup stakes.
By Rob Harris, sports correspondent
Wales has become the first football association to officially withdraw support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election, Sky News can reveal.
It follows the loss of confidence in Mr Infantino’s leadership after the botched attempt to sell off stakes in the World Cup.
The Football Association of Wales told Sky News it “hereby confirms its withdrawal of support for the candidature of Mr Gianni Infantino, for re-election as FIFA President for the 2027-2031 term”.
“The recent failures in good governance, processes, leadership, values, stakeholder management, communications and sound judgement have led us to a position where Mr Infantino has lost the confidence of the FAW to remain at the helm of world football,” it added.
“Failing to put the best interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept.”
The Football Association of Wales has written to FIFA about its position on its chief.
‘Rapid fall from grace’
It is a rapid fall from grace for Infantino two weeks after he was handing out the World Cup to Spain in New Jersey.
Wales is part of a concerted effort by European football to bring down Infantino after 10 years in power, after vowing to hold those responsible for the World Cup sell-off plan to account.
Excellent, hopefully more countries will follow.
Also, the wrong framing of the issue (if he was actually arsed about it).
He should have said that this epic swindle…ahem…“project” should have never been offered in the first place and serious questions need to be asked as to the reason, timing, structuring, deadlines that were later discovered about all this.
You would have thought as FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development that he would or should have known of Infantinos plans!
