Fifa lauches curruption investigation (again)

[tans]

Haha

Bin Hamman and Warner suspended.

No action to be taken against Blatter. What a surprise....

[Costanza]

Jack Warner never returning to FIFA would be progress though.

[BANGKOK RED]

Is there anybody left that takes these cunts seriously?

[Power to people]

Is there anyone that is willing to stand against Blatter that he does not manage to discredit in the end - so he now has a free rain to get elected again for another 4 years, I'm sure conveniently Bin Hamman & Warner will get found inocent in the end

Apparently Warner is trying to take just about everyone down with him...this could be entertaining.

Lets hope he succeeds

He's really not pulling any punches

I indicated that at the Miami Concacaf Congress on 3 May Mr Blatter made a gift of $1m to Concacaf to spend as it deems fit. This annoyed [Uefa] president Michel Platini who was present and he approached secretary general Jérôme Valcke complaining that Mr Blatter had no permission from the finance committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter.

"I also indicated... Fifa through Mr Blatter organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean and no objections have been made ... to date.

Warner seems to be one of the worst of the lot but if he can expose some of the others (Blatter particularly) and it forces FIFA to actually cop to some of their outrageous dealings and sort themselves out, it may have some benefits in the long run.

He's also released an email from Jerome Valque (Secretary General of Fifa) suggesting that Qatar bought the 2022 World Cup.

I can't believe that for a second.

[reeves4england]

I don't believe it either. Surely Qatar was picked for its strong footballing heritage?

The FIFA implosion is imminent... The FA were right to take a step out from the re-election process.

Valcke has obviously got something on Blatter, as he was sacked by FIFA for 'lying' in a court case, but was appointed as General Secretay less than 6 months later. Read the 'Mystery at the Heart of FIFA) :

I'm sure they've all got something on each other and it just needs one of them to turn and it will all come down like a house of cards. Looks like they may have managed to piss Warner off enough for him to press the button, sure sounds like he's getting ready to take them all down.

But as I've said before, anyone that thinks we (or rather our FA) are squeaky clean is sadly mistaken. We play the same dumb ass game of politics as everyone else. If we had any balls and really wanted to save the game we would have struck a long time ago, but we're more interested in getting the World Cup than doing the right thing.

Personally, I blame the unpatriotic BBC for having a look in the Cupboard when it was clearly marked "Warning: Skeletons". And the Sunday Times. All their fault, the scummy media bastards.

The BBC aren't any better, their reports in to FIFA corruption are no better than tabloid style reporting. They do nothing most of the time and then when FIFA are in the news they jump on the bandwagon and put out a programme or two. Where is the in depth and continual investigation that is needed to take FIFA down properly?

[THE FLASH]

Hopefully that arrogant french fucker Platinni can get draggd into it as well!
