Simon Hill

Liam Twomey

Box2Box, with Rob Gilbert and Willem van Denderen...
Gianni Infantino’s position as FIFA President looks increasingly untenable following a week where his floated plan to sell a portion of the World Cup to private investment was denounced emphatically by some confederations and many individual member nations. Simon Hill returns to pick through what’s been yet another seismic week, that feels to have acted only as a portent for bigger things still yet to come.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s hardline youth policy seems to have softened, with Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson among Xabi Alonso’s initial signings. The Athletic’s Liam Twomey considers whether a shift in attitude could bring a calming of the turbulent waters at Stamford Bridge.
Also on the agenda: Lucas Herrington on verge of record-breaking Hull City move, Australia Cup draw promises further action & loads more…
