Anyone hear Gill on 5 Live's Sportsweek this morning? Richardson asked him if he fancied the FIFA presidency and he muttered and mumbled about not wanting to be in the spotlight, which I interpreted as "No fucking chance. I've got too much to hide."
Then he was asked what decision making power he had at the rags and the answer was an interesting one. He said there are two boards, one based in New York for the holding company, which he isn't on. So that's presumably the Glazers and Woody and that makes all the key decisions. The football club board is the one that he, Baconface and Sir Ticket Tout sit on and that makes mainly "ambassadorial" decisions. I think he said that they might get consulted individually by the executive board on football matters but the ultimate decision lay in New York.
Although how he can be on a football club board and that not be a conflict of interest with his roles at UEFA and FIFA is beyond me.
