The reform drumbeat is getting louder and louder

Whether the move now is towards a rotating presidency shared between the six geographic confederations every four years, stricter term limits, a more ceremonial role or something entirely different, there must be a lesson learned. International football must not only heed the warnings of the past week but also recognise the direction of travel.

There can be no more kings.
