FIFA scraps World Cup stake-sale after backlash; UEFA files legal letter
Arsene Wenger says he was "not involved" or aware of the plans to sell off the World Cup and has welcomed their scrapping. "The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question". His statement does not mention Gianni Infantino or call for change.
GrumpyInFrance5every day he tarnishes his legacy a bit more. 😐
bricey007.bsky.social1I do worry about Wengers connections to this awful FIFA regime and what it means for his legacy for us fans who remember him for having proper values
Lauris1how 'bout all the other stuff?
Can’t help feeling that's a bit too little, a bit too late. A respected figure like he is could have had a much bigger impact.
Sly Horse1I suspect that his hands are clean on this one. I cant see Infantino's plan being compatible with his own views.
"Donald Trump will do “everything possible” to save Gianni Infantino from being toppled as Fifa president over his plan to sell stakes in the World Cup, insiders claim," write the Telegraph. LOL
BBLondon8With Trump's current run of form, that's the final nail in the coffin of Infantino's presidency.
Sly Horse4He might have to give his peace prize back.
Skips 3I think the absolute worst thing for Infantino would be to get more associated with Trump (if that's even possible) so by all means please help him Trump🤣
vtorphoto.bsky.social2Trump will throw him under his bus, he never associates himself to those he considers losers. People should have learned by know the man knows no loyalty.
