Good Morning Everyone, FORMER Football Association chairman Lord Triesman has claimed that FIFA acts like a "mafia family" In the light of recent media allegations of corruption in Qatar's successful bid for the 2022 World Cup, Triesman stepped up his attack on the governing body, claiming attempts by the organisation's president Sepp Blatter to dismiss the issue was a tactic that would have been approved by movie Godfather Don Corleone. "FIFA, I'm afraid, behaves like a mafia family. It has a decades-long tradition of bribes, bungs and corruption," he said. "About half of its executive committee who voted on the last World Cup have had to go. "Even its past president Joao Havelange has been removed from his honorary life presidency in his 90s. "Systematic corruption underpinned by non-existent investigations where most of the accused are exempt from the investigation. Who saw the documentary about football hooligans on channel 5 last night? Bunch of sad middle aged right wing men with just enough brain matter to keep themselves alive, or a bit of fun that occassionally gets out of hand? Derby County's odds to sign Ross McCormack have been slashed from 18/1 to 6/4 in the last 24 hours. Could Ross be about to leave? Cellino has been speaking to the YEP about Eamonn Dolan, and his surprise that it would cost £750,000 to release him from his two year contract at Reading (not £400,000 as reported yesterday). What about Radebe?
Morning Elland. Well in the day I was in my 20s when it was fun to support Leeds United, didn't see the hoolie show, but we all end up being middleage, why do the right wing mob get more flak than the lefties? If Ross goes he goes, just another player to leave, we the supporters will still be here. TBH this is one of the most depressing times to be a Leeds United fan. Part of me is numb to anymore bad news.
Morning Shaks, probably cos they are easy to stereotype. I don't have much of an opinion, hence I tried to write it impartially. Shaks, it can always get worse. Cellino is not scared about taking a step back, in order to take three steps forward.
Morning 1) Dolan has just signed a new 5-year contract and if Cellino wants him Reading have the right to ask him to pay that contract. If Dolan wants to leave he can hand in his resignation and depending upon the contract of employment he will have to work his notice, which could be a month, or 3-months. He could then leave without any compensation, so if he wants the job he can hand his notice in. 2) FIFA are a bunch of crooks that make Bates look like a pussy. Triesman is able to vent his spleen under his protection in parliamentary immunity, if he had said that in the press outside of Westminster he would have been in court for slander. he is however 100% correct, and Blatter can get anothe term simply because he has all the asian and african organisations in his pocket. We should leave FIFA and form a breakaway, or allow EUFA to do it and **** the robbers. 3) Derby and Ross sounds unlikely, but if Ross thinks he has a better chance of improving himself and getting promoted under a great coach, then maybe. I can't see it though as I suspect he will go to a prem side like Newcastle or West Ham, and notice harry and QPR are not mentioned because I don't think Harry rates him and he needs a striker.
Morning Doc, 5 year contract on Dolan???? We can wave that one goodbye. Dolan would have resigned by now if he was interested, surely?
Blatter, he is a 78 yr old fat corrupt peace of ****. Didnt see the hooligan programme, but did see that plonker in the Daily Mail who's banned from every ground in England and supports Rochdale, all he needs is a slap and a job. Get what we can for McCormack, but it had better be put back into rebuilding of the squad. Whats with this compo ****, i am under contract here, if i resign, sod off back to UK and start working for another company does it apply....NO, if Dolan wants out and join us then its been done all wrong, thought Cellino was more shrewd than that, maybe not!! Radabe.....was an hero, so was those Cellino has just ousted, not for me, lets move on......together! Thank fcuk its the start of the weekend here tonight, tough **** week. Oh morning all.
Good morning Matt and co from a very warm and sunny Bardsey spent most of yesterday picking up my wifes cousin from Manchester Airport they know how to charge£ 16.50 for just over 2 hours parking I think that Cellino will tell Dolan if you want the job resign as for Ross let him go but get a replacement in place now otherwise the price of the replacement will go up! Rumoured we are signing a 20 year old ex Arsenal who Wenger likened to YAYA TOURE so lets get him in! Thank goodness we are telling Stewart to go somewhere else he is and never will be a Leeds player I have said this and told BM hes aplayer that acts like a rabbit caught in headlights scared to death
I thought I would let you know if you shop at Aldis they have a marvellous red wine called TORO LOCO it tastes delicious and the price £3.79p!Tastes of rasberries and cherry and very smooth.You can thank me later and for the ladies Cava price £4,99 My wife always drank Lanson till I got her on this she says its just as good and about 25% of the price !
Morning all Some good savings there mr 60! Did watch the hoolie program, but did record it. McCormack to Derby? Stranger things have happened but if he moves surely it will be to the bright lights of the prem. Radebe? No thanks. Ambassedor maybe, but surely not as we just got rid of a load of them. On the coaching set up? Yes please but as head coach no chance.
Morning all - A team of coaches works well for Rugby so why not football, I don't see why we can't have a defensive coach, attacking coach and then a head one who picks the team.
Morning all. Didn't see the Channel 5 programme last night, and to be honest, its the sort of stuff that should be left in the 70s where it belongs. Life moves on, and yes, many clubs will still have a few meatheads. But even the 'Wall and Chelski have gone some way to getting rid of their hooligan element. On FIFA, long since given up worrying. They'll do whatever they need to to feather their own nests. I would just love to see a re-run of the 2022 W/C vote and it go anywhere but Qatar. Where that to happen, it might finally bring out who dun what so that they can all be banged up as corrupt. I'd really like to think that if Ross were to leave, he'd go to a bigger club than Derby.
Morning all, especially the ever growing Irish contingent. Any more of you find Irish or granddads in last few days.Cellino not arriving in Leeds till Sunday so fair to say I think there should be lots of activity starting next Monday at Leeds, probably in and out.
Triesman should look a bit closer to home, the FA are a bunch of ****ing bent bastard crooks an'all ****ing hypocrite
ok Boggers The England team visited an orphanage in Brazil today. It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope," said Jose, age 6.
