FIFA

[surf]

So Hammam has withdrawn from the FIFA presidency nominations, leaving Blatter as the only candidate. FIFA make North Korea look like a well run democratic entity.

I really hope that he gets exposed too. I want that organization in tatters.

 

They are a joke.

[dave]

This guy doing the presser needs to get to the point.

 

Worse than RFH.

[dave]

Blatter off the hook then.

 

Nothing to see here....

[Gunga Din]

the top european countries need to break away and start a new organisation, because FIFA has become a joke

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

step fwd Platini

 

Blatter is as much a joke as Berlusconi

[Epic Swindle]

They don't like the brits do they

 

They'll just let Warner take the fall and carry on as normal. There's far too much money and politics involved now.

 

David Conn all over them, they've turned the mics off. c****

just read this

first thing that came to my mind was berlusconi levels of corruption

[Cobs]

FIFA are a feckin disgrace, if ever there was an organisation that needed blowing up and starting again it's them

That's my hope.

 

A few of the major Euro nations to get together and put an ultimatum to Platini - "with us or against us". Then solicit various important FAs around the world ("do you want a chance of hosting a World Cup again or are you happy pumping $$$ milions into a bid only to see it go to another Qatar?". If the money-important places like England (and the other 4 home nations would surely follow), Spain, Germany, Italy, the US and Japan sign up the likes of Brazil & Argentina will want a slice of the $$$ pie. Arrange and start promoting an alternative World Cup for 2018 and it'll be game over.

 

If the FA stil wants to the seen as the leaders of the game then it needs to start this off.

[Tosh]

The FA? You mean OUR FA? The one that we constantly deride for beng the most useless and ineffective bunch of old farts on the planet who couldn't organise an afternoon tea?

[Cam]

Yep. This is their chance to dispel all that.

 

Obviously I'm not expecting it. But it'd be nice, wouldn't it?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

only one thing to do - YNWA Forumites create that organization. WE start the breakaway

 

Who's with me? Charge!!

He should be in jail

[Epic Swindle]

So the head of the 'ethics' committee admits he said in an email that Quatar had bought the WC, but didn't tell the 'ethics' committee at the time? It's like the mafia.

[drdooom]

"I also indicated that at the Miami CONCACAF Congress on May 3rd Mr. Blatter made a gift of one million USD to CONCACAF to spend as it deems fit. This annoyed President Michel Platini who was present and he approached Secretary General Jerome Valcke complaining that Mr Blatter had no permission from the Finance Committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter."

 

Really looking forward to seeing as much public washing of dirty linen as possible from this.

This way Blatter stays ' clean '

[Spion kop]

nobody talks about climate change any more.

Jack Warner is refusing to be the fall guy, he's threatening to release all the information.

[RP]

I think this is all going to properly come to a head this time. Looks like there are enough people p***ed off now to go through with spilling the beans.

I hope so I've missed a good soap opera since our ownership was being dealt with

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

surely an ethics committee should be independent? This one doesn't appear so

[John am Rhein]

best option: english FA breakaway, everyone else stays in FIFA

[New York Red]

Any chance of a re-vote on the 2018 & 2022 WC's?
