FIFA Corruption Thread

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Would FIFA be bypassed by a 'super league'? That's something I can still see happening at some point in the future, although I'd rather it not happen.

And the massive global sponsorship deals from the likes of Cocal Cola, MacDonalds and the rest.

Ain't gonna happen.

Apart from UEFA, in it's in pretty much every body else's interests to keep Blatter.

But most of fifa's money comes from selling the TV rights to the richest countries which are predominately European. I doubt it will happen but it should. It just needs someone at UEFA to do the right thing.

He's the embodiment of all that's wrong with sport, the guy and his "henchmen" are just leeches on sport sucking everything that they can out for their own benefit...... Should be politicians!

I know corruption needs to be fought. But it's tiresome hearing and reading about this clown. He makes you forget the actual fun of the sport.

[RichC]

Utterly depressing. The leadership of football is so corrupt on from what seems to be almost every level

[dom9]

Or the avoidance of certain failure, given that every other confederation has already pledged their support for Blatter.

I think if he thought he stood a chance, he'd be standing as a candidate.

[RichC]

Well we've seen Platini walk away from putting himself up for election which I'm guessing is due to promises for the future and a wad of cash.

It's high time UEFA (and a few of the other saner countries or associations) left FIFA and set up without Blatter and his cohorts.

The ****e he came out with about 'the football family' asking him to stay makes me feel sick.

And prominent members of "the football family" a bit richer.....

[Vermilion]

Blatter has confirmed he is running for re-election despite previous promises to the contrary. I wish this parasite would just crawl away somewhere.

The next person in charge will have his hands bloody already. Doubt any honest person would ever get those kind of jobs, need to be very machiavellian to get elected.

He wont ever quit, he cannot afford to

The moment he leaves there someone will discover where "the bodies are buried" and he will end up in prison
