MrM Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Saw on the news that Blatter has come out and said they had decided that Russia would get the 2018 World Cup even before the vote - and he still can't see there being a problem! Hope our FA asks for the money they spent on the UK bid to be returned then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 You have to remember that Blatter and most of his cronies come from a world in which everybody behaves like he has, politicians, bankers, police, lawyers and local officials. Thats the Euopean way and always has been and it has been exported round the world as well. Thats one of the reasons why the EU was never going to work. FIFA is run the same way as the EU in so many ways, One of the interesting thing that appears to have come out of this is Blatter's genuine inability to understand why anybody could possibly think there was anything unusual in the way things were run. Thats the really significant back story to all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrM Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) German football association now involved over 2006 world cup. They apparently had to pay £4 million to "unlock" FIFA funding! (either that or it was to secure votes !) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34708640 Agreed at a meeting between Blatter and Franz Beckenbaur.

norfolk dumpling Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Suggestion with German FA is that 2/3 accepted £5m to ensure voting went their way - assumed this was used to grease other palms ie a coloured guy who has been expelled from FIFA and his mates. Will they ever get to the bottom of this corrupt organisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jega Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Rotten to the core ,and they don't see anything wrong with their actions . I have no doubt whatsoever that there are equally suspicious activities that have and still are going on a lot closer to home .I'm afraid it's the same old story that once these huge sums of money are brandished about then corruption and greed aren't far behind . Mind you have to feel for the players on £100,000+ a week, and after about 3 months of the season are tired out and need a rest . Different world boy ..different world .
