FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafstrom condemns Infantino’s sell-off plan
FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafstrom has called the abandoned World Cup sell-plan a “sad and reproachable series of events”, which is “difficult to comprehend and accept”, in an internal staff message obtained by Sky News.
Grafstrom runs the administration and was brought across from UEFA when Gianni Infantino rose to the FIFA presidency 10 years ago.
The staff email did not directly reference Infantino and the calls for his departure from European FAs for secretly planning to sell shares in a new World Cup venture to private investors called FIFA Forward Enterprise.

Get that man out right now !!!
so we're allowed to be mad the same people trying to control everything are now doing the same to Football ?
Infantino's whole career is a 'sad and reproachable series of events'
Bye bye Infantino
Mattias Grafstrom is a snake. He kept his mouth shut untill it became clear that Infantino is going under. Then, and only then, he pushed himself away from Infantino. Grafstrom is as bad as Infantino. He needs to go OUT!
Infantino's hands so deep in Trumps pockets.
Just out of curiosity, are staff at workplaces allowed to forward on internal emails to journalists? It's great and good news but I just didn't think that was a thing.
