The Football Association and Concacaf have both said they are "deeply concerned" by FIFA's proposed private investment plan, criticising the governing body over what they described as a lack of transparency and due process.

FIFA announced on Tuesday proposals to set up a private company to run its competitions which would have links to the extended family of U.S. President Donald Trump.

No-one ever tells us anything anyway, so why aren't we just fully outties on this one? Concacaf has been a mere afterthought for FIFA forever, so why aren't we just fully all in on fuck FIFA? I know I am

Concacaf was only made aware of this matter through media reports and, subsequently, via a media release.

    why aren’t we just fully in on fuck FIFA

    I guess it’s because no one at any level, supporter, player and club, wants to follow through on boycotting FIFA sanctioned events.

    All this is why I don’t watch any of their events, which is anything like the World Cup and its qualifiers, the Club World Cup, because it is all I can do. I’m considering extending that to club football and conference based tournaments if I have to, hard as that is. It’s the only thing I can do and it’s all I can suggest someone does, as it obeys the principle of ‘don’t like what’s going on, don’t watch’. Everyone or enough, including clubs, nations and supporters, boycotting those FIFA events alone would be enough to change or clean up the organisation.

    Outside that if this goes ahead it’s on the nations themselves to break and form another association. FIFA does need to be reminded that it’s only the official board because its participants view it in that fashion and at any time, they can leave and form another.
