Infantino on the brink? Who might replace him if he goes?

Life moves fast for FIFA president Gianni Infantino. It was doing so earlier this month as he was zig-zagging across the United States in a private jet to make himself virtually omnipresent as the World Cup reached its crescendo. On 19 July he must have felt on top of the world as, together with US President Donald Trump, they handed the trophy over to Spain. Less than two weeks later, Infantino is in a lonely place after scrapping controversial plans to sell off stakes in Fifa competitions to private investment. Condemned by UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, castigated by fans of the game he professes to want to protect. These can easily be deflected as hazards of the job. Less so the threatened boycott of Fifa competitions by European governing body Uefa - an attack reinforced by Concacaf
