FIFA Corruption Thread

[Saveloy]

What are you basing this opinion on?

The **** load of French industrial deals placed with Qatar shortly after the world Cup decision and the suspicion that Sarkozy leaned on him. And platini's son got an exec role with Qatari company I think. (if google remembers correctly. )

WHERE ALL THE MONEY WENT...
Voter: Michel Platini (France) - £14.72bn
Spent on: Orders for airliners from France-based Airbus; buying PSG; setting up beIN SPORTS; and buying Ligue 1 TV rights, following a Nov 2010 meeting attended by Qatar’s Sheik Tamin, French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Platini, who admits voting for Qatar and says he was encouraged but not forced to do so.

Whilst we know that FIFA is as rotten as a dead horse's head it comes to something when Greg "That super expensive gift watch was just resting in my safe" Dyke starts wading in.

Time for UEFA to pull out of the world cups.

They should hold an extra euro championship in 2018, really piss Fifa off.

**** it let the FBI take him down.

Aye, this way is going to be much more fun

[danperkins]

It really is quite farcical though. Such brazen corruption.

[RichC]

It'd be a huge step if they did but I can't see it happening, too much vested interest in them to do so.

Mental. Fifth term.

Sepp Blatter has been re-elected president of Fifa, football's world governing body, in a vote overshadowed by arrests and corruption allegations.

Mr Blatter's rival, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, withdrew after the first round of voting.

Mr Blatter fell seven short of the two-thirds needed, but Prince Ali opted not to contest further.
