Sadly nothing new there, you just have to look at the awarding of the world cup to qatar to see it. It about who lavished the most money and gifts(allegedly) and not a thought for the football or players.

Seemed very likely. Same with giving 2018 to Russia with its disgusting human rights record. There is absolutely no way they will move the world cup though. They''ll spin some sort of excuse, sack somebody minor as a scapegoat and hope we all forget about it.

One of the biggest indicators of FIFA''s arrogance is that they know that people see right through them and they know that the rest of the world knows that Qatar was awarded due to bungs yet they still don''t give a f**k about that, the game or how they are perceived because of it.

 

That sort of power and influence, to be completely aware of the fact that most of the world knows their motives and corruption yet feeling free and able to carry on regardless, its the worse kind their is and is out of control.

 

If UEFA (and I don''t think for one moment that either UEFA or our own game is free of corruption) seized some sort of mettle and withdraw, en-masse from FIFA, the latter would suffer immeasurably. For all of FIFA''s posturing, they need the European game and nations behind them, particularly its domestic game and leagues/clubs. If UEFA took that decision, others would follow, new tournaments featuring either clubs, nations, even leagues, would be launched with massive TV and corporate backing.

 

The fact that, in the ''real world'' such a split might already have happened but that it hasn''t says a lot about UEFA and suggests people within that organisation are irrecovably tied to FIFA and that if either went down, the other would follow.

 

As has already been said, someone will be dragged into the spotlight and made the scapegoat, they''ll then pay for it to all go away.

Blather has already stated he will stand for another term despite saying that he wouldn''t when last elected.

FIFA is totally corrupt and the FA should never seek to hold the tournament again under the current body. They should seek to canvass other national FAs to see if there would be any support for establishing an alternative to FIFA and hold their own World Cup competition with transparent voting.

No surprise here. As they are already planning to change the Qatar event to winter I actually think this latest evidence will be the straw that breaks the camels back, re-vote likely to happen and Australia will get it!
