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.
GrumpyInFrance6every day he tarnishes his legacy a bit more. 😐
bricey007.bsky.social2I 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
Sly Horse2Surely this is a Tacit Disapproval of Infantino. Given that Infantino was the main driver behind the deal, perhaps we should infer that Wenger's silence on the FIFA president's leadership is a deliberate, cold shoulder rather than an oversight or a reluctance to do so.
Lauris1how 'bout all the other stuff?
Christopher Weir1Arsene Wenger, Fifa's chief of global football development, claims to have not been invloved in the most significant and cynical development plan for global football? Well, that's either a lie or an admission of incompetence. Either way, he has to go too.
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.
"Infantino f**ked up, and Trump doesn't like losers." The bromance between the head of FIFA and the president seems to be over, despite the 'peace prize' and the red card favour during the 2026 World Cup. Where did it all go wrong? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...
Pete Armstrong2Despite the Trump-mafia clearly 'advising' him about the sale otherwise the name of Kushner would not have been mentioned in connection with the project.
bursar.bsky.social1It's almost as if Infantino was convinced it would be a good idea - without asking anybody except Orange Karen first. Has anybody asked what his cut was going to be? It wold be nice to know after all, what was the payoff?
welshprince.bsky.social1Meanwhile in other news...the Genocide loving colonial Zionist fascist freaks are exterminating the Palestinians...
PWCoghlan1Infantino made the mistake in believing by demonstrating loyalty to the orange buffoon, it would be reciprocated when called upon To Trump, loyalty is a one-way street as many others have discovered, to their cost 🤷♂️
"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
BBLondon9With Trump's current run of form, that's the final nail in the coffin of Infantino's presidency.
Skips 4I 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🤣
Sly Horse4He might have to give his peace prize back.
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.
