Basically what you are saying.
FIFA has been rotten for decades.
What already existing brand are you speaking of. The brand of corruption and kickbacks? A brand so strong that sponsors are considering pulling out?
The fact of the matter remains that whoever shells out the most $ or panders the most to Asia and Africa buys the Presidency.
My wishlist is they go after Blatter, and Platini and Qatar loses the WC.

FIFA is a World brand, I've already listed all it's accomplishments around the world in my original post.
It is not whoever shells out the most money, it's about development of the sport worldwide. Creating infrastructure to host events in the developing world (like Edmonton!).
It just got really really rotten with this regime. Sponsors are pulling out because this regime got so dirty. Qatar was the deathblow.
The opportunity is there to start again with what I believe to be a fair and inclusive European solution.
