    The British side attempted to bribe too. Problem is they were offering Burberry bags instead of bags of cash. The Prince refused to step up.

    I thought bribery was how you actually landed these major events. 5 star hotels, all the food and booze they can gorge, strippers, hookers, cars and casinos. Whichever country piles it highest gets the gig. However, I don't think you're allowed to directly offer cash in brown envelopes because that would be immoral and against the rules.

    Even so, Qatar should be called off because it's Qatar. What other reason is needed?

    This is a shocking turn of events that Russia and Qatar were influenced by corruption.

    With the season being so out of whack though I guess a December World Cup is workable somehow.

    this has to be the most pointless exercise ever, we all know they'll say fergucunt, conveniently forgetting the way the football and authorities and refs handed Moan U loads of points during each and every season... no penalties awarded against them at Old Shiteford for years; roy keane not being sent off in every game; their always getting exactly the amount of extra time needed to get a winner etc etc

    I'll never accept that with all the favours they got, there must be several of his titles you could really dispute if you analysed what happened with ref decisions in every game they played, it was footballing bias on an industrial scale

    No doubting his influence given he was essentially the godfather of the league but detracting from his success seems futile to me.

    I hope this virus will have made people think why they devote so much time and money to football.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
