The ongoing football crisis is a self-inflicted wound! Organisations such as FIFA should have a strong governing team but the president should have a maximum of two 4 year terms in office…

Gianni Infantino’s attempt to ram through selling off of part of football to private investors is the action of a leader who has become too comfortable and has assumed invincibility. It is probably nothing to do with corruption or personal greed. He’s just been there too long and getting called “Mr President” does get to one’s head at some point…

If you had an executive team of 10 or whatever is reasonable, at FIFA and keep those in office for a maximum of 10 years each. Then limit the term a President can serve, to a maximum of two terms (4 years each), and the individual may seek election again, only after a 10 your period. Everything will improve at FIFA!

In organisations where so much is at stake, having the same individual running it for as long as Infantino’s been FIFA President (and he’s seeking a fifth term next year!) can only lead to crisis! That, is the problem. Limit the FIFA presidency to a maximum of two terms and you’ll get a transparent, accountable, fit for purpose organisation…
