I’m by no means disagreeing with Stephen here. Rather, I’m trying to reinforce his point by saying we—that is, the fans—didn’t get rid of Blatter and Platini ourselves; Blatter was indicted by a NATIONAL GOVERNMENT for corruption, and Platini was busted for taking money from him. https://twitter.com/babuyagu/status/1384494916236193795
If you need a reminder of what a battle we face to reform these bodies when a NATIONAL GOVERNMENT isn’t involved, FIFA addressed the hole Blatter left in their leadership by electing Gianni Infantino—the guy who served under Platini at UEFA, and shielded City and PSG from FFP.
And if you think Čeferin will be better than Infantino, he just hailed Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of PSG and minister-without-portfolio of the Qatari government, as a “great man” for his stance vs ESL. Remember, Čeferin shielded PSG past their last FFP hurdles on 2016, and ...
... under his watch UEFA conducted a conveniently delayed review of a decision against that club, allowing them to successfully appeal. This was complete coincidence, just like UEFA would wait a year and a half to file a case against City following Football Leaks.
So no, I’m not telling anyone to like what FSG did w/the European Super League. I don’t blame anyone for boycotting or protesting. If you think we’ve “won,” however, you’re not paying attention. We’re just back at the real fight—except very few people even know it was already on.
