Ira Gaines Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 He's a bit of a dick, but he's managed to rile Sepp Blatter, so I'm definitely happy enough with this stunt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hopefully the FBI get mixed up and arrest Lee Nelson on corruption charges so we never have to hear from the c**t ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Uruguayan chap to be extradited from Switzerland to the USA also announced today... Only a couple of weeks ago there were rumours circulating that Valke was looking at the possibility of running to replace Blatter btw, think it was with support from the Africans and Americas !! Forgot to post at the time but there was something in my paper early this week saying that Blatter sold World Cup rights to Warner and Webb for peanuts they then re-sold. EDIT: Aye, found it in the paper rack, it was Monday's Scotsman. Blatter signed-off the sale of Caribbean TV rights for South Africa 2010 & Brazil 2014 to the Caribbean Football Union for $600k... CFU then licensed them to a company in the Cayman Islands - owned by Warner... it then sold it to Jamaican TV for $18-20M, a mark-up of over 30 times!! Jeffrey Webb later became a director of Warner's company. In the small print of their deal with FIFA the CFU were supposed to hand-back 50% of any subsequent profits "but few if any payments from profit share were ever made". Warner also bought the Trinidad & Tobago domestic TV rights for France 1998 for the princely sum of $1 . You really couldn't make it up.

Swampy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just came on to post the Valcke thing too. You know what's pretty shameful? It took the United States Department of Justice to start cleaning up football. The Swiss are just following their lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Was just coming on to post that. Allegedly for giving Platini a 2 million Francs payment. Absolute SCENES. Will be glorious if he's convicted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Surely that blows Platini out of the running for FIFA by association? While it's good that they're doing something about clear criminal activity within FIFA, I have no faith that whoever ends up replacing them won't indulge in some more eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Oh dear. 'Gallic shrug'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34396551 Michel Platini, the head of European football's governing body Uefa, is being treated as "in between a witness and an accused person'' by Swiss prosecutors investigating corruption at the world football authority Fifa. Prosecutors accuse Fifa president Sepp Blatter of making a "disloyal payment" of $2m (£1.6m) to Mr Platini. Mr Platini has provided information to the investigation but said he did so as a witness. Both men deny wrongdoing. Mr Platini has said he is still determined to run for Fifa president once Mr Blatter steps down. Asked whether criminal proceedings had been opened against him, Mr Platini said: "Absolutely not. I was heard last week by the Swiss Authorities only as a person providing information and I cooperated fully." But this has been contradicted by the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber. "We didn't interview Mr Platini as a witness, that's not true. We investigated against him in between as a witness and an accused person." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
