    I will not list all the issues which have unfolded over the 10 years Infantino has been the president of FIFA.
    He has a stranglehold on power. Given his ‘help’ to fledgling football associations, who make up the majority of the committee, that forms the electoral body, he is virtually ‘President for Life’. Consequently he can effectively continue his quasi dictatorial and arguably totally corrupt management regime.
    As football supporters our views just don’t count! He and his associates can manipulate FIFA to their aggrandisement.
    Personally I think the FIFA president should have a ‘fixed term’ like his friend The ‘President’!!
    An unaccountable organisation, with a rotten election system and zero accountability.

    It goes back to Jao Havelange. A biography by I think David Yallop called How they Stole the Game. I read round the time the Prem was formed and it was shocking. The corruption and downright criminality in the organisation was breathtaking. He groomed Blatter as his successor and anyone who takes over a corrupt organisation is likely to be just as corrupt. I thought then that eventually football will eat itself and there's nothing to suggest otherwise when FIFA is a governing body
