Jesus Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 It'll be interesting to see what happens over the 2018 / 2022 World Cup. If I were the FA I would be looking at getting 100% of my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jimmer Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 So it is essentially been proven that they have accepted bribes? Why on earth are these people not in jail? It seems to me that the rich can always get away with breaking the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think they will get what they deserve, what comes around, goes around! At least in Sep's case he won't be any position to come back to doing anything in Football as he will be too old, if still alive, after this ban. Let's hope everything will be sorted out and someone honest and fair will be in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is all it is at the moment; In the event the evidence comes out between now and even up to the eve of the event and its unequivocally damning it would be inconceivable for Russia to stage the event. 39 minutes ago, Collis1 said: So it is essentially been proven that they have accepted bribes?

Because it is not down to FIFA to send down custodial sentences; the evidence will now be in the hands of the Swiss and US authorities and it will be for them to bring a criminal case.. I suspect it is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 It just goes to show exactly what we're dealing with in President Putin who said just five days ago: "He has always tried to treat football not as a sport but as an element of cooperation between countries and peoples. He is the one who must be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” So Russia land the world cup- that sure is corruption cooperation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 It does raise the question of whether countries should participate in the '18 or '22 given it seems both were only awarded on bribes and in such corrupt circumstances. Wouldn't it make you sick participating in a tournament when the organisers are linked to such corruption? I know the players more than likely couldn't give a toss given most still get their crazy wages but from the fans and committees that tried to bid fairly (spending millions) it must just rub salt in the wound.

He or Platini have not been suspended for corruption, that was not proved, what they are suspended for was that the payment was not registered in the FIFA accounts. However the FBI will hopefully dig up the evidence to prosecute these disgusting people who want to sell out to China now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be great if there were a whole group of national sides boycotting world cups for the foreseeable, particularly if it were the higher ranked countries or countries with big fanbases/tv viewing figures for football. I'd be delighted for the Republic to take a stand and not participate (not that we're likely to qualify anyway!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Glass houses and all that! How much did our very own FA spend on inducements (prezzies) to FIFA delegates?

And who could forget the FAI accepting FIFA's five million Euro "inducement" to go away after the Henry handball play off game? The Associations clearly aren't clean either, but I'd still like to see a boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his ticket away from behing behind steel bars. No question. Of course.. what he is also doing, intentionally, is to push even more people toward the FIFA exit and defunct door... which in itself is of course a good thing; ie as Van Basten wants to do with Figo and Lineker; commence work on a new Football Federation and that work entails getting at least 4 or 5 of the big nations on board including the Swiss who hold the bank account unless of course those other Govt's simply fund a new one entirely. A hemorrhage is clearly needed... I was speaking to my Bro about the Anguilla Football Federation.. the chief was booted out on corruption charges after FIFA paid for their new stadium.. Marginally worse than the Minimal.. only for him to be re-elected because nobody else stood and the local gov't did not stand in his way. From a FIFA standing of two off the bottom to those at the top of the tree; if it goes all the way to the 'territory' at the bottom of the pile, and we already know it hits the top, then it likely infiltrates all the way through the 200 or so members.

Up The City! Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 The whole organisation is corrupt. For the man at the top to have nothing to do with would be pretty unbelievable. Fifa needs to be disbanded and a new organisation set up with very tough vetting processes and at all times members should be accountable. As the home of football we should have a leading role in an organisation. I know corruption happens in this country but corruption does seem to be more of a 'foreign' thing. Wouldn't see Brooking Charlton etc involved in this kind of thing. We need people like then leading world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
