UEFA describes Gianni Infantino's investment plan as 'shabby, back room, opaque deal'; Concacaf also rips FIFA president

UEFA and Concacaf have publicly criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino's investment plan. The criticism comes after UEFA described the plan as a 'shabby, back room, opaque deal'. Concacaf also expressed its disapproval. The New York Times, CNN and Yahoo Sports all describe the week as one that shook Infantino, FIFA and the football world. The Telegraph calls the plan a 'money-grabbing gargoyle'.

The criticism follows a failed World Cup equity plan. UEFA declared no confidence in Infantino and vowed accountability. The New York Times and CNN both describe the plan as a private financing plan. The Telegraph's coverage is the most colorful, calling the plan a 'money-grabbing gargoyle' and suggesting that football has 'found its moral compass'. The New York Times and Yahoo Sports both mention a hefty pay rise bid for Infantino.
