Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 So FIFA is going to look at how Jack Warner and Mohammed Bin Hamman might have accepted bribes in the light of Lord ''i'm as greedy as the rest of them really'' Triesman. Mmmmm.Surely the crucial thing here, is the fact that one of them is running against the Mafia Don himself , Blatter - thereby besmirching a rival candidate for footballs most lucrative job ?

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Exactly what I thought.Such an obvious attempt by Blatter to rid FIFA off Presidency opponents. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true you just know Platini is earmarked as the next president -though that septic Chuck Blazer -a man Utd fan no less (the one who looks like he doesnt know what a razor or haircut is) could sneak it. this time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 BREAKING NEWS: Football's governing body FIFA opens ethics enquirey against President Sepp Blatter http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13574338.stmAbout bloody time!!!

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Whats amazing about this is that FIFA is answerable to no one as it stands -yes they have an 'Ethics Commitee'' -but who oversees that ? Be intersting to see what comes out of this but highly unlikely it'll be a 'they've all got their snouts in the trough'' conclusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head of FIFA can't be tried by FIFA! That's a total shamble. There should be an independent body for this kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the immediate reaction made us look quite childish tbh. I really hope in light of all these "ethics" investigations there will be reform calls in FIFA. Though while Blatter and Platini are in power, those calls will go unheard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though while Blatter and Platini are in power, those calls will go unheard.Yes it did look childish LDN agree -and our bid looked embarassing all the way with sqeaky voiced Beckham, two braincells shearer, and a parasite 'royal'.

Madmax 9,219 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 FIFA are a joke, they just keep proving it at every conceivable opportunity. I thought the ICC in cricket were terrible, FIFA makes me re-assess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Are you talking about the job with Blatter or Bin Hammam? Lol Good way to make shed loads of cash.Theres something fundamentally wrong when Blatter is now the only one standing. All the national football federations are frightened to say anything as they get trickle down FIFA cash. So why rock the boat ?Its completely wrong though, if we take the last World Cup for instance -South Africans sweated their bollocks off to build and prepare for it, the stadiums and infrastructure -an they all paid tax.FIFA make millions and millions from the advertising, Coke, McDonalds etc and tickets -yet their astronomical profits are completely tax free!They have at least $600 million in petty cash lying in a Swiss Bank account -wouldnt this be put to better use encouraging and developing grass roots football ????
