potlegs Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is Sepp Blatter the most corrupt figure in football? I can't believe what I am hearing in the news today. Is it time we came out of FIFA - let them rot? Would it affect our football leagues for the worst - or would it not be for the better in the long term? I for one don't care if we don't enter the world cup again and as for playing in Qatar - I think it would be incredibly disruptive. What a stupid, stupid place to aim to play The World Cup. Seriously - they didn't get it purely because of money? Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossyrooney Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The answer is quite simple really Laurie ... you see there was an investigation into Blatter and his cronies conducted by Blatter and his cronies which found that Blatter and his cronies had nothing to with anything .....

potlegs Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 That is what I find un-bloody-believable! They (FIFA) hire a lawyer to investigate then remove him from the investigation, before it is finished - and in the lawyers own words - mis-represent his findings so far. How can that even be called an investigation and how the hell is anyone taking anything FIFA says seriously?? Ooops! - my rant wasn't over after all Joe XXX;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I can't help thinking that if England were to pull out on their own then the rest of the world would say 'so what?'. If it was Germany it would be a different matter. It really needs two or three of the top countries to stand together against FIFA. I won't be holding my breath.

potlegs Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 You're right Jim but I wonder what the feeling is in Germany about this and if any other countries are seeing this for the farce it is? Mind you Germans are notorious for not feeling! - I am joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were to be the case Jim I'd put money on every other country (bar a few) wishing that they had joined England in the protest whilst playing in 100+ degree heat.

Guest sibon Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You will have to wait until Blatter is deposed to find out the truth about him. That will happen sooner or later. Today's report is hilarious really. How can you publish a report which is immediately condemned by one of its main authors. Eventually, someone will make the calculation that the only way that they can keep their own place on the gravy train is to shop Sepp. Let's hope that day is quite near.

Robbie Loving Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'd like us to come out and publicly state we will not be part of a World Cup in Qatar. Their bid was built on false promises that a summer tournament was possible with advanced technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or three top teams, then England. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
