    That's exactly how you get corruption and avoid inclusion though. I don't think this would necessarily replace the corruption only shift it to a uefa backed president

    Why isn't a white guy from the UK in charge?

    yeah but the problem is shit like Sao Tome and Principe having a vote that means as much as England's. It automatically makes the officials have to pander to these poor minnow countries that form voting blocs and you get outcomes for the game that aren't productive and often driven by corruption. Seriously who gives a fuck about including these shit countries.

    Similar issues with the past model of the ICC and how India were able to purchase the support of smaller countries like Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe.

    Would have thought that at least some sliding scale of influence based on a weighted country ranking on a rolling 10 year basis would be a good start. Top 50 teams get a double vote each, 50-100 a single vote, top 200 half a vote and outside of the top 200, no vote. Then the most important teams would get the most influence. Of course, this would suppose you have any respect for the rankings in the first place.

    I don't have any respect for the rankings so that would be rubbish.

    But I do agree it should be done differently.

    How about UEFA make all the decisions and the rest of the world gets in line.

    UEFA should withdraw from FIFA. Absolute joke organisation.

    It's really hard to change an organisation that is already corrupt. It really doesn't matter what better solutions are out there because the status quo fits enough of the people who have the power to change it that it won't ever change.

    Personally I think the Sponsors need to grow some balls and put real pressure on them. Unfortunately none of them give enough of a shit to actually do more than "we're monitoring the situation"

    Have a deal similar to the security council in the UN. Germany, Brazil, England, Argentina etc (top 20 or so teams) have permanent seats for any matter and then rotate non-permanent seats between smaller nations.

    Wonder how much the odds of him being arrested have increased by.

    Does make you think that someone has probably given him the tip that he might be arrested and by resigning he has time to escape to a jurisdiction with no extradition treaty with the USA.

    Why else would he go through the whole election sequence? Honestly, that's got to be the only reason he's resigned. I can't see anything else. He doesn't have a point to prove by being elected again.
