		While it was widely assumed - by Fifa, among others - that Jordaan would head up SA's 2010 organising committee, Oliphant was reportedly keen to have the post of CEO advertised, in what some believed was a move to sideline Jordaan.

		If Fifa, the world soccer governing body, wanted Danny Jordaan, the CEO of Safa, to be in an influential position or be the CEO of the 2010 world cup local organising committee, they would have said so says Mark Gleeson, a soccer commentator.
		He says "the only sticking point that has emerged all the time is where and what position Danny Jordaan will be holding and all of it emanating from the same newspaper and allegedly from the same organisation Fifa".
		Although he acknowledges Jordaan's public standing, Gleeson argues that the process of organising a bid campaign and the process of organising a world cup cannot be compared.

		The position of CEO for the LOC is still up for grabs and has caused much controversy in the local media, with Jordaan, who is credited as the architect of the successful Bid campaign, seen as the obvious choice.
		There is no doubt that Jordaan would be a popular choice with the South African public as well and, given his experience in helping Japan and South Korea host the 2002 event, must now be considered the front-runner for the position — despite his uneasy relationship with Khoza and Oliphant.
