Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt - a Fifa vice-president, has said in regards to the hunt to find a candidate to standa against Infantino as FIFA president, that "This is somebody first and foremost who puts football first right at the heart of everything that they do. Secondly, it has to be somebody who unites the world. Thirdly, somebody who needs to have the courage to bring about reforms."
I think we can all agree that person is Mr Jurgen Norbert Klopp. Just a shame that Germany already snapped him up.

He certainly would be ideal, but I can't see him being interested in that sort of a role.

Someone with a ounce of integrity, and a love of the game over money would be nice. Maybe I'm expecting too much though.

Sounds like a job for Bob Geldof.

You think he went grey at Liverpool? , wait until he has to deal with r u m p : )

Isn't it Wenger?

I'd apply, as I have some integrity.
But that would make me an unsuitable candidate.
So I won't.

Agree with JK although I think it will harm the game because he just can't stop wanting to reinvent the wheel.
He's always meddling.

I agree Ron, I saw that "daylight" offside rule on trial in a couple of Canadian games, and it's an absolute joke. I'm sick to the teeth of unnecessary rule changes and reinterpretations; it's ruining the game.

Ron, I'm not sure on what all his ideas are but the offside one i'm all for. Football is first and foremost an entertainment sport and anything that favours the attacking team in games will always get my vote.

Klopp want's nothing to do with all that political schtick in such a corrupt organization, imo.

The job requires someone with a politician's mind. Smoke filled rooms, secret deals, under the table handoffs, lying publicly in every way at every press conference and adding to personal net worth in every way possible.
Klopp would see this a mile away and run off faster than you could say "roadrunner".
