FIFA vs. UEFA

[mr_nool]

Quite a powerful statement from UEFA on Infantilo's suggestion to bring in external investors into the FIFA World Cup. Can't say that I'm a huge fan of UEFA, especially not after the FFP debacle and their pandering to the old money cartel, but at least they got this right. Plus, Infantilo is a corrupt cunt of the highest order.

What are your thoughts?

Both cunts

It's like Jimmy Saville saying Gary Glitter is wrong for being a nonce.

Can speak just for myself, but City is the only remaining connection with modern football for me.
I wouldn't care if they move ahead with this plan, I really think the game we felt in love is gone so If I want to watch some football, thank fuck for Youtube and all these sites where you can rewatch retro football.

Agree with this - I think I watched 15 minutes of the world cup, which is down 30 minutes on the last one.

As much as Uefa are also corrupt cunts, the arguments being made are bang on. Investors bring demands, which in turn brings expansion of fixture lists which would doubtless be welcomed by the lower ranked nations which Infantino is banking on and which always guaranteed Blatters survival.......this time though may be different as Concacaf used to be one of the most bent, but even key figures in the US FA have come out swinging towards the end of the world cup.

Fifa have massive reserves after their biggest ever payday, and huge borrowing power that can be leveraged against ever bigger world cup revenues. There's only one reason for this play, and its sad that it's every bit as blatently corrupt as the shit blatter used to get upto, which is no real surprise when it seems he's in the pocket of the most corrupt man on earth.

If UEFA clubs refuse to release players, the tinpot dictatorships of Africa and South America can support these proposals all they want, there will be no top tier players competing in competitions if European clubs don't release them.

It's dead in the water if european clubs don't support it.....unless this is 'new' the beginning of the super league

[CBEM]

Cause a fuss water the proposals down to make it look like there has been some consensus drawn, then do what they were doing anyway a little like the European super league with all their poxy mini leagues and more teams competing.

This will only kill football if people carried on putting their hands in their pockets and buying in to the crap.

Infantino is a cunt of the highest order. I'd had more than enough of him after that red card business, but he's gone and surpassed himself. A man with no self awareness, I'll be surprised if he makes it through this - he'll have to retire on the millions he's already leeched out of the game. Maybe Uncle Donald will find him a nice cosy mansion.

UEFA may be cunts, but not such big cunts as when he was there!

Like others I barely watched any world cup. England, not the late ones, Spain-France and Argentina-Egypt. Not the final

Hahahaha who the fuck does Andy Burnham think he is? Getting involved the speccy twat

[CTID Hants]

According to the beeb, there are enough votes to overturn it.

Corrupt cunt needs 106 votes of 211 members, currently assuming all UEFA members comply with them, it now appears the Asia and north/Central America have all said they will vote against which equates to 136 votes against.

Mad plan has now been binned

[mr_nool]

Mad plan has now been binned

Surely Infantilo has to go now.

That was probably the plan all along, he's the fall guy and he isn't the power behind the throne the money people are. This will come back watered down but it'll still happen just like the failed attempt at the European Super League which is here anyway in reality.

Even the slug Tebas has now said Infantino’s position is untenable

Personally I’m like a dead owl on the subject: I couldn’t give a hoot.

I’d be happy if International Football was scrapped altogether

Trouble is, the fool wants more and more competitions, dragging our players off all the time. So it affects City bigtime
