FIFA Sell-Off Plan Backfires | Dublin News

FIFA’s explosive sell-off plan, secretly pushed by president Gianni Infantino and his handpicked advisor OToole, collapsed in four days after leaking — sparking outrage from member nations, staff, and even a former Goldman Sachs advisor who quit over being blindsided. The COO called the move “the project of one person,” while the Times confirmed Infantino had been quietly building support for months. OToole, a former FIFA Master alum with a rebellious past, backed the plan alongside other senior officials — while Lamour and the CFO opposed it. Infantino pressed ahead anyway, now facing mounting pressure as he and another top official apologized to the board. UEFA refused to back down, reminding everyone that loyalty doesn’t excuse poor governance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
