FIFA may sell a stake in the World Cup

From news I have seen there are 2 camps some want him to stay some want him ousted, we will see which side prevails.

I think he's gotta go. Even if he gets enough votes from the African nations, UEFA is never going to support him and FIFA can't survive without UEFA.

His reputation is shot to hell and half the world will always be against him. You can't undo what he did

In any other organization he would have been asked to resign or fired weeks ago.

Good point. Hadn't thought of it like that

The FIFA president must have friends and backers in high up places if he's still at his job.

I notice Trump is being very quiet about all this, given that it was undoubtedly his idea and his family financing the whole thing

Joshua Kushner’s Thrive Capital was said to be the major player in that 20% stake of the proposed FIFA idea, well that didn't seem to go down well and Joshua Kushner and former Disney CEO Bob Iger went on to make a deal to buy the LA Lakers for $12.5 billion from Mark Walter.

If the names sound familiar, Charles Kushner the US ambassador to France and Monaco has a son called Jared who is married to president Trump's daughter Ivanka and he also has a son Joshua.

It only makes sense to try make money from the World Cup.

Jeez have you seen the money sponsors spend on the games, the ads online and media, how much do you want to milk an event

[AlexO]

It was an insane idea from the get go

UEFA can survive without FIFA but FIFA can't survive without UEFA

UEFA is a money making machine with the Euro's, Champions league etc but imagine FIFA trying to hold another world cup WITHOUT Europe being involved ?

Obviously UEFA isn't letting go until he steps down so I think, one way or another, he's got to go

I agree with everything you said.
