F.I.F.A.

Favourite Platini quote from today was about Ali, when he said, 'He's a prince, he doesn't need any money'

 

May as well have added on to the end of it '**** you Sepp'

 

If that is right as are the numbers 'for' the Prince then he is only going to be 6 votes away from a tie at least (105 of 111).

 

Anyone expect Blatter to lose? He knows where the bodies are buried.

 

209 was the figure given on sky

 

I think Africa and Asian will look after him they have done very well money wise out of his time in charge.

 

If it is 209 and the quoted votes for the Prince are right then Blatter will lose 105-104.

 

Despite being promised 60 other votes, you know what these voters are like - look at the 2018 vote for the World Cup. Our FA were promised votes that never came.

 

There have been a number of people saying that there appears to be no direct evidence against Blatter which is why he is holding on as tight as he can; it's easier to cover your tracks from the inside rather than the outside.

And Putin isn't supporting Blatter out of loyalty or the goodness of his heart. If Blatter walks and there is an enquiry into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup awards, Russia could have the World Cup staging rights removed. Plus how many Russian billionaires helped to sweeten the way?

Oh well, that's me in line for a visit from the KGB.

 

The vote is by secret ballot. Is that a change from the past? Sepp won't know who has betrayed him.

 

Oh I agree which is why I said 'If'

 

Have we seen him since our relegation was confirmed?

I bet he's ****ed off back to redcafe.

 

You will be relieved the KGB was disbanded when th Soviet Union split up. The bad news is they have someone else bumping off anyone who criticises their glorious leader.

 

Uh the irony of American companies complaining when a huge % of the bribes were from American companies to secure sponsorship deals. They think Nike alone gave a $40 million bribe to get a single Brazilian national team sponsorship.

Anyone else watching this bullshit Blatter speech?

 

I read a summary of it.

To be honest Blatter is probably the man to turn FIFA round and take it forwards. His words were reassuring.

 

@AAndrewJennings: I gave the FBI the crucial documents that triggered yesterday's arrests. There will be more to come. Blatter is a target.
