FA TOADY WON’T TAKE ON INFANTINO

NOW FA chairman Greg Clarke is on FIFA’s council as a vice-president, the hope is he will wade into the fight against the revamped Club World Cup, a global Nations League and an expanded 48-team World Cup in 2022. All are the brainwaves of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, and are opposed by UEFA and the Premier League, who want Clarke to lead a challenge from within. No chance. Clarke has spent most of his FA tenure toadying up to the creeps at FIFA in the hope of landing England the 2030 World Cup. Getting a council place is all part of his charm offensive and unctuous compliance is the FA’s default stance. We’re good boys these days, don’t you know? We do what we’re told.
