  • From @Callumcafc post above it appears that the lack of money is not the issue here.  A five billion dollar war chest is not to be sniffed out.  Surely that is enough to service the smaller nations without the need to offer a bribe?  Making sure it is used and not abused is the top priority. 

    And with reserves standing at over $5bn, he has also failed to use associations’ money for the benefit of the game.

    I can’t see Infantino getting re-elected after this fiasco. A terrible lack of judgment. He’s going to get so much flak in the coming months that I’d be surprised if he even stood for re-election. 

    He got carried away with his own hubris.
    What’s the poor bloke gonna do for money if he’s voted out? I worry for him…
    perhaps he could do a sub-stack, but even then he will still get pelters from some!

    In my world the half time entertainment in the uefa world final would be Infantino being pulled apart by horses, so he won't need to worry about money any more

    Showing a bit of a lack of imagination there imo. He could be toed to a rack and for each donation of 10p to FIFA, the rack extends by 0.0001 mm. £10,000 is a mm (i think) so £10m should be enough to pull his arms and legs off.

    As long as it’s done within 15 minutes.

    Nah, too quick. Spread over two hydration breaks. That'd teach him a lesson he won't forget.

    Wales have withdrawn their support for Infantino's re-election - Am guessing this'll be a thing now from all UEFA, but ideally its going to need the backing of the smaller Nations to really get him out.

    As of now there isn't even a candidate to stand against him

    Count Binface might be interested?

    I guess we can also assume that since Qatar released a statement over the weekend backing Infantino, that means Al Khelaifi isn't interested in standing for election.

    I read somewhere that the Concacaf president Victor Montagliani was potentially interested.

    Quoted from the BBC report, this is EUFA's response to FIFA about their proposals.

    "Uefa's request for all documents regarding the investment plan, included "email, instant messages (WhatsApp, Signal, Teams, Slack or any other platform), SMS, written correspondence and meeting notes", and those which involved "any Fifa officer, employee, committee member, consultant or agent, or any Fifa member association, confederation, broadcaster, sponsor, or financial institution".

    In reference to the 19 September deadline, Uefa added it wanted documents to be retained "relating to the payment structure for Fifa member associations, including the design, modelling, legal basis, approval and communications to member associations".

    Uefa asked Infantino to acknowledge receipt of its letter in writing within five business days, to confirm he had "received and understood this notice" and that he has "taken immediate steps to preserve relevant materials as required".

    Love it!

    It seems that the FA is not backing Infantino's continuation in his present role, along with Wales FA.  More sleepless night for the greedy git. 

    *Edit, they forgot to ask for the contents of their shredding machine.

    "Clubs alarmed by Fifa’s delay of $250m Club World Cup solidarity cash - more than 50 have contacted EFC"

    Interesting in the context of them trying to seek private investment.
