I wanted to write a 1,500-word piece about oligarchs, foreign money and how English football was changing. My editor wanted 200 words until I told him there was a lingerie model in the story.

The Manchester City scandal is a significant moment in English football history. On the right side of that history are Rob and Nick Harris. On the wrong side is the man who tried to stare down the former into silence. Pep’s legacy. By @barneyronay.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

theguardian.comBuilding of the Pep supremacy is an era that will be defined by sham-ballWhat Pep Guardiola knew at Manchester City relates to the true nature of the club and more basic things like spectacle and human nature

Well worth a read for anyone thinking that Infantino will just bow to simple pressure. It's going to take some concerted effort.

There's a verdict on all nine managers in the piece. I think he'll take Forest much higher than last season's 16th and stands a good chance of lasting the campaign. Insane, I know.

Blatter's FIFA ultimately came crashing down after a whistleblower provided evidence to a journalist, who shared that info with the FBI. How long before Infantino faces the same fate?

Nick Harris@sportingintel.bsky.social

It took 6 years for the FBI to bring down Blatter. How long can Infantino hang on? What can we learn from the downfall of FIFA's previous president about the future of the current incumbent? Maybe, eventually, whistleblowers WILL topple you .... sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/it-took-si...

FIFA's ongoing crisis, entirely of Gianni Infantino's own making. arguably represents the best chance in a generation to genuinely replace FIFA, lock stock and barrel. A genuine coalition of federations could achieve that. There'd still be loads of cash to go around. Will it happen? Probs not.
