Mark Connolly Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Apparently paid him 2M Swiss Frances in late 2011 "for work performed between 1999 & 2002" . Platini - favourite to succeed Blatter and 'clean up FIFA'? I still wonder what John McBeth makes of all this... hounded out for being 'racist' in his criticisms of Jack Warner, now vindicated to the power of X. He is owed a lot of apologies by a lot of people. The Scottish media are unlikely to chase this however, given that they hung him out to dry! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Resign. No. Thought not but at least we get good PR for supposedly trying to do the right thing, eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm not too keen on sponsors coming out with this pish. They're not sponsoring it through some sort of altruism. If you disagree with how fifa is run, withdraw your sponsorship. Of course, that will never happen. I'd bet blatter has had a long term relationship with these sponsors and now they're throwing him under the bus too. I always thought blatter would get out of this, but he's getting ditched left right & centre and am not so sure now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The England-Korea vote swap was reported in Heidi Blake and Jonathan Calvert's book. Supposdely the Koreans did a deal with England to get their vote and then voted for the Russians anyway top trolling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If I remember correctly England are largely to blame for Blatter being in the job anyway. Didn't they promise to back Lennart Johansson for the FIFA job and change to Blatter at the last minute? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone watching this Panorama programme? The Americans really look like they are gunning for them - Blatter and co better get working on those pretendy breakdowns quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
