Football in crisis

Who was the guy that gave $500,000 to Haiti for refugees from the earthquake, but actually gave the money to Jack Warner to distribute? You couldn't make it up!

Missed the programme last night but this sounds like Senator Clay Davis must be involved somewhere. Sheeeeeiiitt!

No, it was someone from the far east.

It really is worth a watch. Even Spencer Prior tweeted about it this morning. He wants to watch it, but can't because he's not in the UK.

Worth a watch just to see Chuck (fat boy) Blazer waddling along. Now there is a man who has had his face in the trough.

It didn't reveal anything I didn't all ready know- except the minor details. Its pointless trying to change THIEFA, we need a complete new governing body.

For the good of our game we should set an example and Boycott the next world cups. Others would follow and it would leave 2018 in ruins (who cares) but at least we would be back on track with 2022. With new men in charge and a word cup in England it would be worth the effort.

He really has, hasn't he! It's a wonder he stays upright.

It seems Andrew Jennings really is having the last laugh after all.

It turns out that the FBI action against Chuck Blazer (which triggered the entire investigation) started with a meeting between him and the FBI in London.

Great Panorama last night. My wife and I were actually laughing, their levels of corruption were so high...and so blatant. Every person who was supposed to be the next leader, and had pledged to clean up FIFA turned out to be just as corrupt as the last. There really will be no-one left soon. It really does stink, and lends more weight to the argument that they need someone from outside to take over and start again.

Blatter no doubt planning his return, after all, he'll only be 88 years old! :winking:

Probably too old to lead the line on his own, but could potentially drop into a deeper midfield role.
