That would be out of left field.
But then so was giving World Cups to Russia and Qatar so it wouldn't surprise me.

Stupid IDIOT
Bet the Qatar World Cup might not be so attractive to Platini if that happened
Why the dislike of Platini?
I'm being serious. What has he done to make him a slime ball? Have i missed something?

Presumably, because he doesn't LOVE everything about English football, in the way that the British media tell us to.
You're going to have to explain yourself I'm afraid. What has he done which is anti-English? Why is he corrupt? I do not agree with everything he does or says but he seems a decent guy with good intentions to me.

Well I'll start.
He voted for Qatar 2022
You telling me he did that for best of intentions rather than a bag full of used tenners?

I would rather have Platini. At least he was one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen...I've just checked out Jeffrey Webb
Jeffrey Webb (born 1964), is the president of CONCACAF and the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) and FIFA Vice President.
He was educated at Hillsborough Community College in the United States.His career in the football field spans for almost three decades. He was appointed as President of the Cayman Islands Football Association in 1991.[2]
CIFA’s accomplishments under Webb’s administration and leadership were widely recognized and in 1994 he was co-opted as a member of the CFU Executive Committee, and member of FIFA’s Protocol Committee in 1995. Prior to his appointment to CIFA, Webb served as President of the local football club Strikers FC.
Moreover, within FIFA’s governing body, in 2002 Webb became Deputy Chairman of the FIFA Internal Audit Committee and subsequently Chairman in 2011. He is a former member of FIFA’s Transparency and Compliance Committee and, most recently, was appointed as member of FIFA’s Strategic, Finance, Organizing World Cup and Emergency Committees.
Webb also took part of FIFA’s delegations to the World Cup including France (1998), U.S. Women’s World Cup (1999), Korea/Japan (2002), Germany (2006), and South Africa (2010).
Webb was a Business Development Manager at Fidelity Bank(Cayman) Limited, a subsidiary of Fidelity Bank & Trust International Limited, which is involved in retail banking, investment banking, corporate finance and asset management. Outside of banking, Webb co-owns a franchise of Burrell's bakery chain "Captain's Bakery" in the Cayman Islands.[3]
On May 23 2012, in Budapest, Hungary, Webb was unanimously elected to lead the Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF). He became the fourth President in the Confederation’s history and the youngest leader of any regional association within FIFA to reach this position. As CONCACAF President, his core focus is to restructure the Confederation by building solid foundations to manage, develop and promote the game with a resilient commitment to inclusiveness, accountability and transparency.
As President of CONCACAF, Webb also became FIFA Vice President and an official member of the governing body’s Executive Committee. Moreover, on March 2013 Webb was appointed by FIFA President Joseph Blatter as Chairman of the FIFA anti-discrimination task force, which will oversee all matters related to discrimination within global football.
At the time of his appointment, in 2012, Webb was President of the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA).
Webb appointed a new Miami-based General Secretary Enrique Sanz de Santamaría enabling the CONCACAF head office to relocate to Miami.[4]

Whooooa that's exactly what he will look like in 20 years time!!!!!
Everybody at FIFA is corrupt scum, in some way shape or form, it's corrupt to it's core so by default everybody in it must be. (generalisation I know but that's how I feel about it!)
What's more concerning is that Blatter even gets a say. Is selecting a new governor not a democratic process? (even though the transparency of democracy at FIFA is akin to elections in Zimbabwe)?

Isn't there some talk of Blatter engineering a further spell in the hot seat for himself anyway?

On the same day he voted for the Dutch bid for the world cup in the first round, then in the second round, after England were out of the running having finished last, he changed his vote to Russia. Blatant tactical voting to do his best to ensure that England didn't remain in contention after round one and pick up any second choice votes.
I have no evidence to suggest he did anything but vote honorably . Who were the other 13 people/bodies which voted for Qatar?
What's your view on the moon landings?

Had a big rant about the finances in the English game yet Barca and Madrid who spend unbelievable amounts of money are the 'crown jewels' of European football
