The intervention by Carney, former Bank of England governor who is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, came as Luís Figo described the sell-off scheme as "the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed." Montagliani is being urged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election.
