Platini resigned as head of UEFA, so he can focus on his defense for the bribery charges against him. http://en.as.com/en/2016/05/09/football/1462790241_627253.html quote:“I note today's decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport but I consider it a profound injustice,” Platini said in a statement. “This decision inflicts a suspension for which the length stops me, de facto, and by luck, from being a candidate in the next FIFA presidential election. As agreed with the national associations, I resign as president of UEFA to pursue my fight before the Swiss courts to prove my probity in this case. Life has always kept beautiful surprises for me, now I am free to live them”.

Ok that's very left field. FIFA has appointed someone with no history in football to in effect head it, and they are Female. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36289757 quote:Senegal's Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura has been appointed as Fifa's first female secretary general. Career UN worker becomes the 'CEO' of FIFA, good move for FIFA if they want to really try and change the organisation - assuming she isn't very corrupt as well.

It turns out FIFA is just a huge corrupt business and no one who runs it has ever played football so it really doesn't matter that she doesn't have any experience in this particular field. Can't wait for Blatter to say she'd do a better job with shorter pants though.

Infantino probably getting 90 day suspensionDeadspin posted:The newest potential bombshell report came from another German paper, this time Die Welt. The reports says Infantino is on the cusp of a preliminary 90-day suspension from the Audit Committee, stemming from emails they’ve received that allegedly say that at Infantino’s instruction, FIFA destroyed the records from the Council meetings held during last month’s Mexico City Congress. Also holy lol quote:Former high-ranking Fifa officials Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner awarded themselves pay rises and bonuses worth $80m (£55m) over five years, say Fifa lawyers.
