FIFA Corruption Thread

Honestly, good on them. The Premier League is in danger of becoming a contest between two states and will suffer for it long term. This is a stance more leagues need to take. Hopefully the LIV Golf rumpus will wake up the sporting world.

I didn't think that La Liga coming out to bat for Real over the Mbappe situation was appropriate, but in these terms it is entirely appropriate and more people should be calling it out.

But would LaLiga be saying anything at all if Mbappe had signed for Real? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

That's a fair point, though they have been banging this drum for a while, I guess

Would really like to see La Liga's financial stability rules in place in England, think they are a lot closer to what is in the EFL and would help level the playing field a lot

I think it absolutely is. But at the same time, it needs calling out and if that's what it takes, then so be it. I really hope that they push hard on it

This is a good thing example of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Whatever motives La Liga have, they're better than any motives any of the owners or PSG and all the ****in rest have for anything.

You gents are right but of all the leagues to be banging the drum it’s ironic that it’s La Liga . Hopefully it gathers pace & some other federations get involved.

La Liga have Real and Barca behind them. Two of the biggest 3 or 4 clubs in the world. They also have the arrogance/belief that they also can do what they want. The PL doesn't have any of that, and the PL are weak. If they had any kind of strength they'd be doing their own broadcasting and not leaving it to others.

Sad but true

**** real and Barca, they have also played their part in over inflating the market to ridiculous levels over the years.

PSG and City shouldn’t be allowed to do what they do but I don’t think those two from Spain can be on their high horse.

Real and barca are only arsed because they see themselves losing their dominance in the transfer market and now speak up. Yes, it's a bit cheeky given their level of corruption but anything that helps to stop city, psg, Newcastle and others from taking the piss to a whole new level must be seen as a good thing

We were below Real and Barca money wise anyway. To go below the oily journalist murdering human rights abusers is a joke.
