Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.
Rui Pinto, the hacker who leaked so many documents which also included proof of City's wrong doing, might be Portuguese but he should be knighted. Done more than most Sirs and Dames. 70 million documents and 3.4 terabytes of data he leaked implicating many crooks.
Man behöver inte hålla med om slutsatsen, men det är en vass ledartext av @LoweSmithJonson i Värmlands Folkblad om rekryteringen av Cal Foote.

Suppose once your personal and professional integrity has long since gone, why not lower your morality bar even further by applauding blatant corruption.
Pathetic individual.
Visst är det smått galna summor när Flyers ger Leo Carlsson en offer sheet på 5x18 miljoner dollar.
Men man begriper inte mycket om amerikansk idrott om man klandrar Leo för att skriva på.
Har läst allt från ”klubbkänsla” hit till ”girig” dit.
1. Skulle du tacka nej till 90 miljoner dollar på fem år?
2. Rock and a hard place - om du tackar nej till en sån offer sheet i NHL tycker genast varenda spelare i ligan att du är en idiot. Och facket, agenter etc likaså.
3. Ducks har haft hela säsongen på sig att sajna Leo för typ 12-14 mille per år.
4. Klubbkänsla… idk. Ducks ägare Henry Samueli är god för 350 miljarder kronor i privat förmögenhet. Flyers ägarbolag Comcast är värderat till 850 miljarder kronor. Det är liksom inte Åshöjdens BK vs Grums IK det handlar om här.
It was actually the multiple Nazi salutes, constant use of Nazi rhetoric, and vocal support for Germany’s far-Right political party which includes Nazis.
