I don't think you need to have someone with 'football experience' at FIFA necessarily. Realistically the act of playing football is different from that of running an organisation the size of FIFA. You can have advisory committees, experts on hand and groups to represent the players and managers but a lot of the management can be done by people who have learned their skills elsewhere.

If anything that could be what FIFA needs most. Not someone who has risen up in FIFA or any of affiliated organisations but someone from the world of business or the public sector with experience of running, and reforming, a large organisation.

I think it would be very limiting and damaging to restrict the pool to people who were 'ex-players at a respectable level' when a lot of their background wouldn't be relevant to running an organisation.

Step three: The removal of the World Cup from Russia and Qatar, both countries instantly disqualified for the following but not limited to: Corruption and bribery, slave labour and multiple counts of human rights violations, weekly racism with minimal punishment by the Russian FA. Because of the time it will take to push that through it's only feasible both World Cups are subsequently awarded to - 2018 - England and 2022 - The United States
I don't think two of the nations most linked to getting the World Cups removed should host it. France, Spain, Germany, Canada (maybe), Australia and a few more would be better placed iMO. Also let's not pretend we were entirely clean over the 2018 bid.
