    Sadly i fear it won't won't it make the blindest bit of difference.
    How this organisation gets away with the corruption in it's ranks is astonishing.

    I suspect you are right, Bedsaddick. It's not as though Blatter and his cronies aren't well prepared for the attacks they are/will be getting. And, he's not afraid to weather a storm.

    I bet that comes straight from Platini. He wants the job desperately.

    Not sure he's much better than Blatter.

    Didn't the FA call for his resignation a few years back/vote of no confidence? I seem to remember that fell on deaf ears...
  • GoonerhaterGoonerhater
    wow so someone who has lost the argument screaming "racist" !! wonder where on Earth he learnt that trick ?
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    Platini is just as bad in the corruption stakes, but because he's UEFA, England + co are going to completely ignore it and support him.

    This is basically Europe attempting a coup of FIFA. Nothing about trying to improve its image, they want to be in control.
  • bobmunrobobmunro
    The only protest that would work would be for UEFA to withdraw from FIFA and go it alone. No European teams in the World Cup might smart a tad!

    But wait - Platini and his UEFA cronies have their snouts in the same trough so probably won't happen!!

    Should of twatted the Swiss tosser on the way out n all!

    Platini has links to Qatar and is popular amongst smaller football associations accross the world that blatter has neglected, thus why it went to qatar, it was platini's way of saying "here sepp, i can do whatever i want, dont cross me". Sounds godfather like but that's what i've heard through the grapevine.

    Uefa or, platini breaking from fifa would mean most of the other federations eventually follow suit. I can see a new world football organisation being created after all this, doubt it would happen, as you say, football is too corrupt.

    Can anyone corroborate my belief that Platini's fingerprints are all over the success of the Qatar bid? Maybe I imagined it, but I thought the rumour was that Platini would be very vulnerable if there was an actual investigation.

    Platini was behind the qatar success, but no money went to him, a club in his beloved France however...

    Platini chose Qatar, not Qatar paid off platini. This was platini showing blatter that his popularity and power could influence where a world cup could go.

    Yeah 'cause that's why we're going to struggle. Dodgy decisions :-)

    Documents leaked to The Telegraph show that Mr Platini met Mr Bin Hammam for breakfast shortly before the former footballer met Nicolas Sarkozy, at the time the French president, the son of the emir of Qatar and the country’s prime minister for lunch at the Elysée Palace in November 2010, a month before the World Cup vote.

    The following year, the state-owned Qatar Sports Investments bought Paris Saint-Germain, Mr Sarkozy’s favourite team. Mr Platini has always denied that Mr Sarkozy asked him to vote for Qatar, but in an interview he said: “I was invited to a dinner with Mr Sarkozy where there was the prime minister of Qatar. They never asked me during the dinner to vote. It was a clear thing about 'support’. They knew I would be independent.”

    Mr Platini’s son Laurent became the chief executive of Burrda, a Qatar owned sports company. He has always said that his son’s role was unconnected to his vote.

    That and many more from here:

    Thank you kentaddick and SELR_addicks, that's more than I was expecting. I thought I'd dreamt it.

    Blatter is now apparently trying to butter up the African FIFA delegates in Brazil in a desperate bid to get their support and keep him in the job - definitely be a few financial "commitments" being made there by dear old Sepp.

    Its disgraceful really, Blatter has had SIXTEEN YEARS in the gob and he is 78 and he still wants more.

    Lucky bast**d. Although you would have thought she'd have developed lockjaw after 6 months.
    And a full Blatter.
