The more I think about it, the less I care about Blatter and FIFA. It's all kind of irrelevant.
Sure there is likely to be many more millions that go missing, but then we wouldn't have got them in England anyway. Most likely it would have gone to a 3rd world country and seeing as they voted him back in, who gives a shit.
Doesn't make any difference to me where the world cup is held. It will still be on tv and England will still be shit.
Dykes is a far bigger threat to English football, and especially the Football League, than Blatter is or ever will be.
If we really did care and wanted to make a stand, we'd quit UEFA/FIFA and sod the consequences. But we don't.

I think you are very wrong. That attitude is why FIFA can be governed by someone who doesn't give a fuck about corruption. Not much you can do about it as an individual fan, if we all clubbed together and pressured sponsors everything would fold. But it seem like you nobody gives a shit deep down, so maybe you were right after all  The FA can't go it alone, I doubt UEFA members will do anything other than tut and draft a strongly worded letter. |

Let's not forget as well the BBC got arrested, detained, and interrogated as spies with no recourse to a lawyer or their embassy for having the temerity to look around Qatari workers housing and discuss working conditions without a government 'escort'. All perfectly normal.

Come on UEFA a do the honourable thing and boycott next World Cup. Think the nations of the Amercias are fed up too, so the sponsors wouldn't be interested in a World Cup without the big guns.
Fck FIFA and their band of thieves.

If UEFA withdraw from FIFA, then it's pretty much game over for FIFA.
FIFA's main income stream is the World Cup, which would become a meaningless tournament.
It's not just the loss of the European countries, it's the loss of all the players with European clubs - as the clubs would be under no obligation to release them to play.
UEFA can then organise a World Championship, with an invitation to countries outside Europe.
Problem solved.

The latest Andrew Jennings article on the fun and games at FIFA :
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3104087/How-FIFA-nailed-act-revenge-dying-man-Investigative-journalist-ANDREW-JENNINGS-reveals-former-official-led-Feds-dirty-depths-Blatter-s-kingdom-corruption.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
Apparently he believes FIFA are paying Blatter $15m a year.
Nice work if you can get it !!

Hard to know how much of that is true, but none of it is beyond the realms of belief. It would be a huge shame to lose the World Cup but as somebody said, replacing it with a UEFA + invited nations World Championships could be a way around that.

Wasn't Platini in with Blatter once upon a time until he took the UEFA job - not convinced that bloke is as clean cut as he likes to paint himself
