What about the companies he holds director positions...

He is a director of many companies... an AV Company, a Tea Company, a Cement company to name a few. FIFA was a feather in his cap.. but like all feathers, this one has flown away!

This should have happened long time ago. He is to be blamed for the deplorable condition of the sport.
