10 Reasons Luis Figo Is The Wrong Man For FIFA

4. He Won't Last Longer Than 12 Years

What? What are you doing, Luis? In the slight (non-existent) chance that he does perch himself at the top of the FIFA tree, why would he already be plotting his exit strategy? If Figo wanted he job, surely he'd change the rules to state that 12 years is a minimum term. He'd become the most powerful football man in the world, but would give it all up in the name of democracy. Weak. A lowly 12 years is barely enough time to rake in enough bribes to fund a second pool or even a private jet ski. And it's certainly not enough time for Mr Putin and his friends to come back with a generous offer to buy the World Cup again. Whatever happened to a good spot of harmless tyranny? Against Modern Football Leadership.
