    Like with everything though, they just shrug their shoulders, act like it isn't important and that they don't know why anyone's upset, and simply carry on.

    They're untouchable, it seems.

    I guess he'll release his report in full now. Why wouldn't he?

    FIFA have announced that the released report will have "appropriate redactions", which means all suggestions of wrongdoing will be deleted.

    Surely to have an ethics committee, first FIFA need ethics.

    Fifa is probably one of the most secretive institutions on the planet - theres no reason for secrecy in a football organisation that to hide money flow and power flow

    I really hope they can prevent him getting back in next May.

    He'll be 79 by then, for God's sake! Only a megalomaniac would want to continue in such a role instead of enjoying some sort of lucrative retirement.

    I suspect he's worried that when he does go, all the ****e thats been hidden will emerge. He's clinging on because he wants to keep what in his head is his untarnished image and not be chased down like a criminal.

    Surely it can't be that hard to hire a hitman?

    It'd cost a few bob when Blatter's the target.

    BREAKING: FIFA bans chief 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids inspector Harold Mayne-Nicholls for 7 years.


    Harold Mayne-Nicholls was the inspector who pointed out concerns about the voting members not taking account of the heat in Qatar and the fact that it wasn't a practical option for a summer sporting event.

    The real FIFA is still alive and kicking then, it seems.

    Bit of context to Mayne-Nicholls FIFA ban. In inspection report he said Russia/Qatar were riskiest destinations for the World Cups. Ignored.
