I think you need someone without prior Football executive experience because the whole thing is so mired in corruption that only total suspension of professional football at all levels and compete deconstruction of every association could see things cleaned up.
A bit of pruning and clipping won't help, the whole forest is diseased and needs to be burnt down.
It certainly is a bad thing - that cunt's as bad as Mother Theresa.
Not quite as bad but certainly in the ball parkQuote:

I can see the 2022 WC being in some jeopardy, not the 2018. Its only 3 years away and FBI wont mess with Russia for a silly 'soccer' World cup.
Despite 2018 being as undoubtedly corrupt* as all the others, there is at least some case for Russia: in that they are a major nation, have hosted large sporting events before and actually play football.
Qatar was too mental a jump even for FIFA though. When it went from "everyone knowing it happened but at least staying in the realms of plausibility" to just plain blatant. Even then, it still probably goes way above FIFA and Blatter.

He hates and is envious of English football and has suddenly come out against FFP no doubt after realising his precious PSG couldn't abide by it in the face of the mega English TV deal.
His desire to see Blatter go isn't from noble reasons of being appalled by the corruption and bribery but more because Blatter promised Platini the job this year in order for UEFA's vote at the last election. When Blatter renegade on that promise and stood again this year he was furious at the betrayal.
It shows you how utterly appalling Blatter and FIFA are that he somehow became the white knight in all of this.
tl;dr - Platini a shit.
Platini is a bigger cunt than Mother Theresa.
Plus, like Mourinho, he has a strange inferiority complex with Wenger.
Alright, alright. I was only asking! :lol:
According to an ex FIFA executive, there were bribes involved in the awarding the 2010 World Cup to South Africa and also France 98. :doh:
Wow, corruption in football :faint:
Fucking disgusting sport :sick:
Funny how they failed to mention 94 and 90.Quote:

Old man coming out all guns blazin'! This is what happens when the guardians of the galaxy aka USA comes after you!
Jack Warner is a senile old cunt who doesn't even know what year it is.
Obviously 66 was all above board though, what what?Quote:

great news except both the fuckers acting as deputy's that will step in have dubious pasts too. Just burn the place down.
Bent as fuck.
I bet this "ethics committee" are no different as well.
I'm a member of the FIFA ethics committee
Would just like to make the following things clear
Sepp, I appreciate the balcony seat tickets to La Boheme and the bottle of Mouton Rothschild....I always thought a man as nice as you couldn't be guilty. But in the interests of transparency you'll still have to serve your 90 days whilst being exonerated I mean investigated.
Jerome and Michel, the cheese in the hamper was out of date you corrupt pair of scoundrels
So are they going to have to give their millions in bribes and bungs back? Or is it just the 90 day holiday?
Out of the frying pan. Possibly the most unsuitable scumbag they could find is up for the FIFA top job. He's the latest in a list of human rights abusers and crooks being welcomed into the game.

With dirty money from the Saudi's reaching into every part of the game the surprising thing is it's taken so long to get to have a public face at the top.
Should we be impressed that their skulduggery and corruption is more nuanced and less publicly blatant than Blatter, Platini and the FA's?
He'll be sending Platts n' Blatts to negotiate in Syria with their ISIS security team, so some praise is due, yes.
Tokyo Sexwhale
Seems like Blatter it trying to save face by throwing Platini under a bus.
Unless he's been misinterpreted or the interview just plain made up; it seems he's said that it was agreed before the "election" to hold 2018 in Russia and 2022 in America until Platini, Sarkozy and... some Qatar guy got involved and swung the votes. That had America got it none of this would be happening. And you know what, he's probably right. Even if it was completely corrupt, and I think I'm being generous by saying 'if', at least there's a case for Russia to have it. But Qatar? That was too far even for them.
