redstevie007 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32895048 Please be blatter We can but hope. If they do indeed have enough to get Blatter I think the sheer scale of what's gone on will be almost unbelievable when the details are known.

Jersey Jim Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32895048 Please be blatter Blatter hasn't set foot in USA soil for years for fear of arrest by the FBI over corruption charges.

ShedTA Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The whole organiostation needs replaced top to bottom. we can only hope this is the start but blatter will no doubt have made sure nothing comes back to him. at the end of the day its the all the associated countries that are to blame for accepting blatter and his cronies and continually voting him back in. The whole game is to blame for the state of FIFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 As far as I know, the legitimate reason for countries in Africa, America and Asia supporting Blatter is that they worry that other Europeans would place too much interest on european football and teams and neglect them. I'd imagine there are also all sorts of backhanders going on, and money getting pumped into FAs that never gets spent on football too.

I'd imagine there are also all sorts of backhanders going on, and money getting pumped into FAs that never gets spent on football too. Most of them aren't even sly backhanders, Blatter loves to announce pre-election that every FA in the world is to get a £100k 'gift' from the FIFA Family. Great news for East Timor, securing their vote. But half the Germany team will have a higher weekly salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Blatter will get re-elected amazingly enough. I am sorry but that is just wrong but it will happen. Think about this closely - this corruption has gone on with Blatter in charge and so are we supposed to believe he never knew about anything? Well if he never then he surely must lose his job for neglecting his duties and if he did know then he is guilty as sin. Crazily enough, Blatter will continue on regardless.....sadly.

Geed Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Really hope they find out bribes taken by Fifa for Qatar hosting the World Cup & the members are charged and the tournament is taken off Qatar who should never had it in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
