The question is, how much did he & his cohorts receive for announcing the Qatar venue, especially when most european countries have most of what it takes to host the world cup!
And joe Kinnear is put in charge ! a spokesman said " Joe will do a better job than Blatter though the world cup tournament will probably wind up in Hong kong.
Monty are you that 15 year old Newcastle supporting kid that was sold drink by the ethical NUFC before the re-enactment of the charge of the light brigade outside the ASDA on Derby day?
Did you know... A joke, void of any sense of humour, just ends up a ridiculous lie that no one believes? Clearly not.
Fifa Inspector: Qatar World Cup 'A Mistake' In his first UK interview, Fifa's head 2022 inspector reveals he was sure three days before the vote that Qatar's bid would win. Fifa made a mistake awarding the World Cup to Qatar and will put the health of players and fans at risk if the tournament is not moved from the summer, according to the man who led the official inspection of the bidding nations. Speaking in his first British broadcast interview, Harold Mayne-Nicholls warns that playing in Qatar in summer will be "impossible" even with the cooling technology proposed by the organising committee. Mr Mayne-Nicholls, the former chairman of the Chilean FA, said Qatar "was not the best option", but revealed he was certain it would win the 2022 World Cup three days before the decisive Fifa vote in December 2010. "Three days before the decision, I already had a great per cent (certainty) that it would be Qatar, too many people talking about Qatar at that time, so I was not surprised when it was given the World Cup," he told Sky News. Fifa's decision to award the tournament to Qatar came despite a clear warning from Mr Mayne-Nicholls in his evaluation report. In the executive summary, he wrote: "The fact that the competition is planned in June-July, the two hottest months of the year in this region, has to be considered as a potential health risk for players, officials, the Fifa family and spectators, and requires precautions to be taken." Construction cranes and bulldozers operate at a real estate construction site being built by Qatar's Lucille properties in Doha Major construction work is under way in Qatari capital Doha ahead of 2022 Despite this, Qatar polled more votes than the USA to win the tournament and spark the greatest controversy Fifa has ever known. Last week Fifa began a consultation into whether the tournament can be moved to a different time of the year. Mr Mayne-Nicholls said it is essential. "We wrote that it is very risky to play the World Cup in June-July for the health of the players," he said. "We had no evidence that something would happen, but we said that even with the cooling system that they promised it would be very risky." Mr Mayne-Nichols, who now runs Ganamos Todos, a charitable sporting foundation in Chile, said his personal experience in Qatar convinced him that playing in summer, or even as late as September, was impractical. "When we were walking on the street it was very, very warm, and it was not easy,â he said. "You really suffered with the sun and that was no more than 100 metres, so when we put it in the report we knew it (was right). "I cannot imagine top athletes running even 90 minutes even with the cooling system, because at certain times of day they will feel this climate." People celebrate after Fifa announce that Qatar will be host of the 2022 World Cup in Souq Wakif in Doha People in Doha celebrate Fifa's announcement in 2010 Intriguingly, Mr Mayne-Nicholls claimed that when Fifa members gathered in Zurich for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes it was clear very early that Qatar had gathered significant support. His assertion that three days before the election he was certain that Qatar would win will raise eyebrows, but the administrator makes clear he has no evidence of wrongdoing. "We were talking to ex-co members and we were surprised that they were going for Qatar," he said. "Normally they would go for others, but I have no reason to have any doubts about their decision. "They decided for Qatar. It was one of the countries bidding so they had the right to get a vote. It was a surprise because it was not the best option, but it was an option. "Rumours have been going on since the election but there is not a single piece of evidence, no one has been able to show us this is what happened. What I can say to myself, nobody, not Qatar or anybody, offered me anything. Nobody interfered, we were allowed to do our jobs." Mr Mayne-Nichollâs revelations come as Michael Garcia, the independent attorney investigating the bidding process for Fifaâs ethics committee, confirmed that he is to visit all nine bidding nations. He said he was examining allegations of breaches of Fifa's ethics code, and will report sometime in the first half of 2014.
You know exactly what will happen mate, they'll investigate themselves and eventually clear themselves. No matter who is supposedly in charge FIFA and EUFA are rotten to the core and corrupt as ****.
Very well put. In laymans terms the FIFA c*nts f*cked up big style and they know it but hey what does it matter with a big hefty improved bank balance. The Swiss w*nker will probably/hopefully be dead by then and the garlic smelling dwarf, who will be taking his place, is just as corrupt.
I've spent a year of my life in Qatar. It's a God forsaken **** hole. In the summer you cant walk never mind play Football. They have one city. Doha. Last time I was there it hit 52 degs C. It's like living in an oven. Add to that their drink laws, tiny country and lack of water and anyone can see the World cup is a none starter. That is unless your palm has been greased...and greased good.
Love to see the day when police raid FIFA and lead out Blatter in chains, plus the rest of his cronies.
FIFA are worse than the Mafia. We need Interpol to get in their, and while their at it nick Platini at UEFA as well, jumped up French prick.
I think England should be the nation to spark a fifa walk out. Nothing stopping another governing body being formed. I might be able to bring myself to watch England games again.
