I’ve tried it several times, but it just doesn’t work. No matter how you say it, “If you see Joshua Kushner, tell him” just doesn’t roll of the tongue.

And it looks like Gianni Infantino’s great World Cup share issue, where anybody with a few billion to spare can buy a slice of the competition from Donald Trump’s son-in-law’s brother, has missed the mark. Whereas in the good old days, you just bunged a few million to Chuck Blazer, and didn’t need to bother with the middle men.

I’ll admit I was initially a bit disappointed by this. After all, a bit of 1980s-style share-owning democracy is the pick-me-up well all need right........
