How do you get a job in FIFA, seems like a good way to make money.?

Are you talking about the job with Blatter or Bin Hammam?

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 ????

FA Statement

The Football Association Chairman David Bernstein said: “On 19 May 2011 The Football Association announced it would be abstaining in the forthcoming election for the FIFA Presidency.

“There were two main reasons for this decision. First, a concern, that a series of allegations relating to FIFA ExCo Members made it difficult to support either candidate.

"Secondly, a concern about the lack of transparency and accountability within the organisation, contributing to the current unsatisfactory situation.

“Events of the last few days have reinforced our views, and we call on FIFA and ask other national associations to support us with two initiatives.

“First, to postpone the election and give credibility to this process, so any alternative reforming candidate could have the opportunity to stand for President.

“Secondly, to appoint a genuinely independent external party to make recommendations regarding improved governance and compliance procedures and structures throughout the FIFA decision making processes for consideration by the full membership.

“This has been a very damaging time for the reputation of FIFA and therefore the whole of football. To improve confidence in the way the game is governed at the very top, we believe these requests would be a positive step forward and the minimum that should take place.”

Hopefully things will slowly start to change at the Federation of International Football Associations, and their Swiss Bank accounts with hundreds of millions of Euros can be used for grass roots football projects through out the globe....

The head of the Argentina FA wanted the Falklands back to support an English World Cup.In an interview with a German press agency yesterday, Grondona called England "pirates" and added: "Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US would be like a vote for England. And that is not possible. "But with the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left."

Yeah that guy is clearly crazy, more messy shit this time the Chief Executive Officer of Bayern calling fifa out on their bullshit :

"Rummenigge called for the immediate introduction of "democratic and transparent structures and procedures" and claimed clubs would demand involvement in FIFA decisions which affected them.

Rummenigge, the Bayern Munich chief executive, said: "The recent happenings have once more proven that FIFA needs a change in its whole structure. As chairman of the European Club Association, I request FIFA to immediately introduce democratic and transparent structures and procedures.

"European clubs will no longer accept that they do not participate in the decision-making when it comes to club related matters. "We will closely follow FIFA's development in this respect in the future and take appropriate measures, if there is no improvement."

''Then they became sad and left'' That is fucking hilarious if true. :goodpost:

Even funnier if Beckham had agreed to give the Falklands back, because he didnt know what they were
