That would give @Big Cat a better chance of refereeing the final, perhaps. Or the sponsors may do without European referees(?)
An interesting power struggle!
Meanwhile the Wessex League are planning how to avoid the need to follow No10 to Manchester . . .

Whilst UEFA have initially kicked off, I'd be surprised if FIFA and Infant and Trump's matey don't ultimately get what the want
A bigger slice of pie ought to appease dissenting voices, I fear
Else, the idea will just come back in a different guise. A bit like how UEFA have kept the big clubs happy with a re-hashed European Super League

I don’t think so, the value of the World Cup without European nations would be a fraction and remove any interest for the investors.

CONCACAF rejected it as well. 96 down.
