Hardly unexpected and really shows how rotten to the core FIFA is especially given the recent occurrences.
No we will see what UEFA are made of. This is a golden opportunity to sort football out, they shouldn't miss it.
The investigations will continue regardless, without fear or fervour...
What do you think he will do now? I'll tell you, congratulate him on his success.
Sepp seems to think that the investigation is more to do with the US losing out to Russia to host the World Cup in 2022 rather than corruption. It is also the media's fault. What an absolute tosser.

He also condemned the comSepp Blatter wrote:I forgive everyone, but I do not forget.
Lets be perfectly clear about this, I'm no Platini fan but in my opinion he is doing his bit.
The next UEFA meeting is on the day of the champions league final will show where we are going in all of this. The home nations seems to be quite vociferous in their criticism of Blatter but cannot act alone and I think they want UEFA as a large body to lead a boycott. Which is what Worthy has stated.
Today its been revealed that Banks are having a look at their transactions and there could then be reports made under POCA. Sponsors like bobo has said need to severe their ties.
In the mail today its speculated that a large payment (bribe) to Warner for the South Africa world cup came from FIFA and the size of the payment meant that one of the top three guys at FIFA (one of whom is Blatter) must have authorised it. Blatter has denied making this payment.
The yankee doodles state that they expect more to come out. Its quite possible that they are looking at FIFA as an organised crime network, like the mafia. If they do go down that line then they could make any trade with them proscribed.
Blatter can stick his head in the sand all he wants, this is massive.

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
If my memory is right didn't FIFA try to get the 1998 games to South Africa but the vote didn't go for them and the FIFA top-table more or less promise them they'd get it the next time it was voted on ?

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
OK, I understand the reasoning behind David Gill rejecting a place on FIFA's executive committee and now I read that Heather Rabbatts has withdrawn from FIFA's task force against racism and discrimination. However, what on earth do they think it might achieve? If you're looking to affect change then surely you stand more of a chance by doing it from within, no?

The impossible to over-estimate Welsh FA prick, Trefor Lloyd Hughes, has leapt into that vacant space. Still sore having missed out to Gill in a vote in March, and determined to be a gnat on English arses at every opportunity, this guy makes Blatter look like a man of honour,

Doubtless he'll be replaced by an equally bent tosspot.

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
A great day for football. I reckon that they've found something on him because there's no way on God's green earth that that stubborn c*nt's gone of his own volition. Either that or, as LeverEnd suggested to me elsewhere, he's got a puppet lined up.

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
He hasn't gone just yet but will stay until the new man is voted in, 4 months away.
The £10million South Africa bribe is central, great work to follow the money to the top of FIFA.
This still hasn't finished but its much better to see the smug c@@t not being smug and had a good kicking. t*@t

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
I'm alluding to the press pressure but they have got their information from the US prosecutions. Quite ironic that FIFA always wanted the US to be interested in football...throwawayboltonian wrote:I sincerely hope so; if that's the case and the money passed through to the US then he can be charged under RICO as I said a few pages back, and the FBI/DoJ do like their racketeering charges. I really hope that happens.jaffka wrote:He hasn't gone just yet but will stay until the new man is voted in, 4 months away.

I do think that all of the posturing and head in the sand shit from Blatter and FIFA would have really angered the investigators involved and made them even more determined to get a positive closure.

But can Sepp and the gang outsmart the FBI? Sounds like they've got an informer on their books, and even the Swiss banking system had to bend over for the US Government when the IRS came knocking with full weight behind them:

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
Mind you, as abject and humiliating resignations go this was a cracker.
Reading his resignation speech in the cold light of day he has given himself plenty of wiggle room.
He'll stick around until a replacement is found. At least till Christmas. Potentially till next March. Now that he's resigned he feels the shackles are off and so he can now get on with a series of "reforms" he's been after for ages ....aimed at consolidating FIFA's position. Oh and the replacement process will be managed by one of his stooges.
Doubtless hard drives will be getting smashed, Internet records deleted, the deletes deleted and the delete of those deletes deleted and industrial shredders working like crazy.
Slippery fecker's not planning on slipping put quietly !

Re: FIFA ... bent, corrupt, double-dealing, cynical barstewa
Rio Ferdinand suggesting David Gill should put himself up for the role. In the unlikely event of him actually winning the role, would that just see fifa swing from pandering to the developing world nations, to being slaves to the mega clubs of Europe / "big nations"? Look at the balance his type have brought to the game here in England. It would pretty much justify Blatter's scare stories of "nasty UEFA" to the rest of the world. Does anyone know much about Prince Ali?

True, but it is disturbing to we Canadians.bobo the clown wrote:^^ Thank goodness it's only wimminz football.
We like women's footie in terms of national pride because we are ranked 8th in the world. It is rather harder to find the ranking for our men's team. I found eventually that it is ranked 115th below, for example St. Kitts and Nevis and the Faroe Islands. I didn't even know 115 countries played footie. Secondly, being hosts, it would have been nice to have some FIFA executive open the tournament or give out medals. I am, of course, glad they could send a janitor to do the honours but...
