FIFA Corruption Thread

[Leyton388]

Time for UEFA to pull out of the world cups.

[Roboklopp]

Platini is as corrupt as **** too.

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.

[danperkins]

It really is quite farcical though. Such brazen corruption.

[Red_Polo]

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

Aye, this way is going to be much more fun

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

What are you basing this opinion on?

[Venton]

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.

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.

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. )

[dom9]

All good points.

I've not followed it, hence the question.

FIFA's predicament is but a symptom of a global cause. IMO of course.

Luis Figos thoughts

This vote has only served to endorse the election of a man who can’t remain in charge of world football. Instead of what Mr. Blatter said, the happenings of last Wednesday were not bad for football: they were bad for FIFA and for all the responsible that lead the organization until now. Football is not guilty but is the governing body’s leaders, who should regulate it, that have no integrity or honesty
There’s no way someone can lead FIFA ignoring the most elementary rules of transparency, legality and democracy. These rules were not reunited as I denounced and, later, as I found out.
Mr. Blatter knew and was aware of the acts of corruption, influence and racketeering or, if he did not know – as he says – it’s because he has no skills to lead FIFA. There is no other way to analyze the problem.
Facing these facts, Mr. Blatter, the principal responsible by FIFA has reached this point, being reelected, that shows exactly how the organization is sick.
Today was another dark day in Zurich. FIFA has lost, but above everything, football has lost and everyone who truly cares about it has lost too.
Mr. Blatter had a very cynical reaction when he said that he couldn’t control everyone. It offends everyone’s intelligence. These persons, whom Mr. Blatter has promoted through years, turned, with him, FIFA in to a decadent organization.
If Mr. Blatter were minimally concerned about football, he would have given up of the reelection. If he has a minimal of decency, he will resign in the next few days.
I regret nothing. I fought, I persisted, I made an effort for the regeneration of this organization that has to change course. We live in an emergency situation and football is the damaged party on this.
I’ve denounced what I directly lived. I would do it again. And I remain available to help FIFA rebuild after this.
