I do hope us, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea ask for the tens of millions each nation put into their respective World Cup bids back.

If the response from FIFA is no, I hope they all sue.

Yes that crossed my mind as well. The bidding process was all a charade. The decisions had already been taken behind closed doors but it didn't stop the
ExCo members from receiving their 'gifts' from the competing bidders.

Determination of TV broadcasting rights is a bidding process as well - no doubt even more corrupt as the process to decide the host country
as we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars in this case.
 
Head Of German FA Resigns Over FIFA Payment

You must log in or register to see images


The head of Germany's football federation has resigned following over a payment made to FIFA.

Wolfgang Niersbach's departure follows controversy over €6.7m transferred to world football's governing body in 2005 - a year before the World Cup was held in Germany.

It has been alleged that the money was used to bribe officials to vote for the country's World Cup bid.

In a resignation letter posted on the Deutscher Fussball-Bund website, Mr Niersbach denied having any involvement in the payments, and said he was standing down to protect the federation.

The executive is currently being investigated for tax evasion.

According to German media, detectives raided the federation's headquarters in Frankfurt last week - as well as Mr Nierbach's private residence in the town of Dreieich.

After an emergency meeting of the federation took place, Mr Niersbach told reporters he was taking "political responsibility" for the scandal.

I like, it's just a little unfortunate that he isn't convalescing in a prison hospital wing. Hopefully that will come.
 
I haven't come across anybody with a good word to say about this bloke but regardless of what he may or may not have done I have no particular desire to see him in any of our RIP threads.

He's clawed his way to the top by bribery and corruption. I'm a mild mannered man and it takes a lot for me to detest someone .

But he's an 'orrible little ****.

Sepp Blatter burnt on the bonfire in Edenbridge-Kent last week.

Sadly it was not the real thing. He is one bloke I wont be upset to see die.
 
Struth, I'd hate to see what you'd have happen to someone who'd done something really, really bad!

What like bribery, corruption and being happy to give a WC to a nation that is well known for it awful worker human rights violations thus wilfully knowing the building work will be on the back of workers deaths.
You mean that kind of thing?
