Exclusive: live @skynews on Gianni Infantino saying he is scrapping the World
Cup sell off after a global backlash.
Infantino: “Our purpose has always been - and will always be - to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed.”
Infantino is a dead man walking
The inflammatory statements made by Kevin Lamour, FIFA’s director of operations, were prompted by the fact that he knows that FIFA’s general secretary, Mattias Grafstrom, has distanced himself from Infantino and is plotting a coup
Infantino’s (very) close circle had warned him months ago, also pointing out the close ties between Grafstrom and Gelson Fernandes, and that they were “waiting for the right moment to undermine him”
Paranoia is at its peak, as are the political intrigues: Infantino has lost control of FIFA and will soon lose his job
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has cancelled his plan to sell stake in the World Cup to private investors, following massive backlash:
“Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place.”
🚨UPDATE 🚨
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has called on Gianni Infantino to resign as Fifa president after his £15bn ($20bn) World Cup sell-off was “killed” by an international revolt

From what I remember reading he also had to pass on several movies while waiting for Blade. He’s got every right to call Marvel & Kevin Feige out for this. And now with Wonder Man?! Very bad look on their part
Mahershala Ali calls out Marvel over ‘BLADE’ being scrapped:
“You had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie. So we're not doing the movie. […] But I feel ready to move on from the Blade questions. Those questions are for them. They didn't want to do it, so they should answer that question.”

For 2 decades there was Amos Adamu in the NFF. Amos rose to be a top CAF/FIFA official. His cup got full and FIFA had to suspend him after he was recorded in a BBC sting operation collecting bribes to support WC bids.
Guess who the current acting SG of CAF
