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.
#MUNMCI – 59’ VAR OVERTURN
VAR checked the referee’s call of no goal for offside – and determined that Haaland was in an onside position and recommended that the goal was awarded.
The VAR also deemed that while in an offside position, Fernandez didn’t play the ball.
🚨 This might be the best transfer video ever made. 🇹🇷🇪🇬
Trabzonspor leaning into their family culture and their history to show Mo Salah has become 'one of them' is truly beautiful. ❤️

Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

🚨 BREAKING: FIFA senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro has quit over Gianni Infantino’s FFE plans.
As revealed on @talkSPORT last night, Infantino has lost support from his inner circle.
🗣️ Cordeiro: “As a Senior Advisor to the FIFA President, a former banker, and a lifelong football fan, I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup.
“Let me be clear: I had no involvement in this proposal, and I oppose it unequivocally. It is a bad deal for FIFA's Member Associations, a bad deal for football, and a bad deal for the long-term future of the game.”
In four games in charge of Manchester United, Michael Carrick has:
Beaten Unai Emery’s Villarreal
Drawn at Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea
Beaten Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal
And now, on his return, pulverised Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Unai Emery subbed off a defender (Cash) and brought on an attack in Buendia who just WON the game for Aston Villa!
TAKE NOTES RUBEN AMORIM WHO ONLY SUBS ON DEFENDERS FOR DEFENDERS!!
This is what real top managers do, and they win games.
🗣️🎙️Tony Mowbray on Ruben Amorim playing Amad Diallo out of position:
“I had him at Sunderland and he was a genius. The all stuck to his left foot. He’s a brilliant player and you’re plaaying him at RWB just to fit into your system…
He should be sitting people on their backside and scoring wonderful goals like i know he can. Why is he chasing people back into his own box?”
