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.

Thus it starts. It's generally accepted Qatar shouldn't be hosting the world cup. However why is this solely aimed at them? Russia and their bid was just as shady. Does this mean we generally accept that Racism and homophobic behaviour is acceptable and should turn a blind eye? Or do we complain after the wold cup is finished and every African player has been racially abused? Do we just take FIFA's official stance of shaking hands with the racist and pretending not to be gay.
Watch a Russian League team, look for the black player and watch it unfold. Even better, ask Peter Odemwingie whom upon leaving was taunted with a banner thanking West Brom stylized with Bananas. Disgusting country with a disgusting attitude.
Ukraine situation.
Corruption.
Whatever other reasons there's left, probably a few.

Sometimes having a sponsor can taint your brand.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
Barclays didn't taint it and there's not many brands they'd take on that could. Barclays had a ring to it and that's always crucial for something as massive as the EPL. It was always abbreviated BPL or EPL. Diageo Premier League just sounds daft, The DPL. I don't care how much they wanted, some things just sound plain stupid and that's one of them.
This being said Diageo or anyone else should be paying a lot more than what the league actually wanted, £60 million is buttons to have exposure in every country in the world every week.
Anyone come up with a good one?
The Netflix Premier League
McDonald's Premier League
Wonga Premier League
Sports Direct@English Premier League
Samsung Premier League s6 (SPL)
The Dogecoin premier league (see Nascar crowdfunding event)
The EA Premier League (See any FIFA game)

My comment was talking about some clubs who pick sponsors who then don't turn out to be quite what their club was looking for and sponsors in other sports.

I think loan sharks are the last in need of being banned. Wonga shouldn't be allowed to sponsor any premier league club. Fortunately it seems Newcastle United won't be renewing.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
King gaming Premier League, here's a tiny bit of the trophy, win 4 more times to unlock it all or pay a one time fee of £36 million to unlock it now.
Back to FIFA, Jack Warner has turned whistle blower and looks to directly implicate blatter, should the evidence be substantial then expect Blatters immediate arrest.
