For what it's worth Blatter doesn't want it held in Qatar. Personally, I don't see a problem with it being held in the Middle East but it's got to be done at a time when it's safe for players to play and fans to visit. I've probably said it already but the Asian Cup moved from July to January when it was held in Qatar, I don't see what the fuss is about. Personally, if it is removed from Qatar (unlikely), FIFA should make it clear that the 2026 version will be held in January which would allow different types of nations to bid.
I think Platini has partially ruined the Euros by increasing the number of teams to 24. He should've introduced a qualifying competition for the 'lesser' teams similar to the AFC Challenge Cup (which ironically has just ended for the last time as AFC have also decided they want 24 teams in the Asian Cup).
