    Blatter is right. What do a fizzy pop company, a fat burger company and the worlds biggest credit facility know about anything?

    When two fast food giants and a giant brewery take the moral high ground, then you know your grasp of ethics is limited!

    Ah, it's the new kind of ethics. It's now called Loss of Trade. :)

    Says on Sky that the money paid to Platini never went through FIFA books. Murkier and murkier.

    Can't see Platini getting out of this...paid £1.3 mill nine years after stopping work for FIFA and now it turns out that is not even in their official accounts. Makes you wonder what else is missing.

    Agreed. If FIFA want to make a clean sweep of things, they aren't going to do it with a tarnished broom. Platini himself may be as clean as a whistle, but the payment smacks of brown envelopes and bungs. It'll actually be a good measure of whether FIFA is still a smokey old gentlemen's club, where if you say the right thing at the right time and grease the right palms, you get somewhere, or whether they are aware that the glare of publicity is on them and they need to be seen to be clean every bit as much as actually being so.

    It may be the time to write FIFA off as irrecoverable, and set up a new organisation that is not tarnished.

    It may be time to prove that we (English FA) never actually signed of control of global football to them originally and claim it back.

    Talking about who would take over if Blatter suspended. Temporarily a Spaniard may take over....but (surprise, surprise) he is also under investigation. Valid question asked....how far down the chain do we have to go to get an honest man. Once a society gets corrupt, everyone ends up tainted....corrupt people will never sanction an honest person rising through the ranks.

    Agree with everyone who is saying we need a new world governing body, not a re hash of the current one. To be fair you know you're ****ed when McDonalds & Coca Cola have the moral high ground on you.

    Right, now they are out of the office, lets see if they have left us any clues. D'oh.
