Anyone remember when the Crew rejected a Toulouse offer less than half of this amount, and were alleged, by some, to be 'holding him hostage' and thus holding back the USMNT? To be fair, that was one whole year ago, it can be pretty hard to recall such ancient history

"Sources with knowledge of the scheme say the intention was for Infantino to become the chief executive or commissioner after his presidency, with a basic salary — before any bonuses — of $30million (about £22.2million) a year". More stellar reporting by @martynziegler.bsky.social for @thetimes.com.
Gianni Infantino clinging to power as efforts to oust him intensify
Support is flooding away from the Fifa president, who will likely be asked to resign at emergency council meeting and is scrambling to establish base of backers

Yup bullies need to be bullied it’s the only language they understand
Nate Bowling@natebowling.com · 5d agoLow-key, UEFA just gave us a lesson in authoritarian politics: the most effective check on a power grab is when members of the governing coalition refuse to go along with it.
I think everyone but Gianni knows that his role as fifa president is over. To say it like the kids, he is cooked.
Manuel Veth@manuelveth.bsky.social · 5d agoStatement by the FIFA President. The proposal to sell the World Cup is dead. This sounds like a last straw to keep hanging on to his presidency. Despite this, it’s pretty clear to say that Infantino needs to be removed now. Hopefully all stake holders keep up the pressure.

This is Gianni Infantino’s Icarus moment – the FIFA president has finally flown too close to the sun (Gift Article)
The FIFA president's plans to sell off a stake in the World Cup has been met with widespread disapproval throughout the sport
nytimes.com
Statements flying everywhere. Here is FIFA’s response posted at 8:15pm Pacific Time. “Nono we never wanted to sell the game.” “Hear us out. We were rushed by media reports.” This is the biggest trying to back off without backing off statement I have seen in some time.
Concacaf backing UEFA. Only ten votes missing now to shoot this down and potentially ouster Gianni or as Donnie calls him “Johnny” Not that it matters much. UEFA has already won. This will never work without the Europeans on board. Victor Montagliani knows this and has positioned himself

I understand Whitecaps paid just €120,000 for Poku. That’s a steal. I can see him increase that manifold and being sold for a massive profit down the line.
Manuel Veth@manuelveth.bsky.social · 6d agoAlmost lost in all this! Whitecaps have signed a seriously good prospect. Kwasi Poku can play. Curious to see him turn out for the Whitecaps

Wäre gut dann hätten wir endlich die richtigen Gegner um die Mannschaft zu entwickeln
floschuller@floschuller.bsky.social · 6d agoHey Kanada, wie wäre es, wenn ihr in die UEFA kommt? Vielleicht auch noch in die EU? 🫣
As I said yesterday in private, I hoped Canada Soccer won’t get any splinters from siting on the fence here. I know they are broke and need the money. But this is about being on the right side of history.
Patrick Johnston 🇨🇦@risingaction.bsky.social · 7d agoSo I asked Canada Soccer what they think of Gianni Infantino's idea and they basically said "uh we just got it so we need to think a little first" theprovince.com/sports/socce...

Next relatively major FIFA competition, which UEFA says they would boycott, is the 2026 U20 Women’s World Cup, kicking off September 5. Poland, a UEFA nation, is the host.
Manuel Veth@manuelveth.bsky.social · 6d agoThe full UEFA statement. www.uefa.com/news-media/n...
Actual meaningful opposition to Infantino’s World Cup plan. UEFA threatening a World Cup boycott as long as his plan to sell a stake of the tournament remain in place. Let’s be clear. The World Cup is worthless without the big European countries.
