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.

Yeah, that's where my head is at. I hate everything about this and hope UEFA stands up to stop it.

However, we all know UEFA isn't some paragon of virtue. They are very corrupt... just not AS corrupt. The question is just how greedy UEFA is compared to how much money FIFA is willing to give up.
