Fifa president is ‘beyond redemption,’ says broadcaster Michael Parkinson

Sir Michael Parkinson has branded Fifa president Gianni Infantino as being “beyond redemption.”

The iconic broadcaster gave his two cents on the controversies surrounding World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

“Let him crawl away and wither,” he told Good Morning Britain during a discussion about the current state of football.

When asked what he thought the “trouble with football these days” was, he said the game has “gone beyond its meaning.”

“It’s just too silly for words, and the people who are running the game should be thoroughly ashamed. It has a noble background.”
