Infantino’s opponents developing new framework for running world football

If Infantino refuses to engage then the new framework is likely to be adopted by a challenger at the presidential election next year, or could even serve as a template for a breakaway organisation.

1. Never gonna work unless you also get CONMEBOL, or at least Brazil and Argentina on board.
2. Traditionally, a package of surprisingly cheap bribes will get you enough Caribbean and Asian countries to keep anything good for the sport from happening. I can't even fault them to the extent the money is actually used for development of football in their countries, though even when it's corrupt, usually it's just a case that the white knights in richer countries already got their bag and are aghast when grifters in smaller ones do the same. Infantino himself was supposed to be an improvement on Blatter, and was pushed by UEFA.
3. This is all so dumb. It's professional sport, so it's understood to be at least a little corrupt and a lot greedy, and it's almost always low on the radar of regulators with real problems to address. All you have to do is be patient and make "line go up" slowly enough that you don't do anything that pisses everyone off all at once.
