Is I am responsible for everything good about FIFA and here I am shouting about it, as head of the mafia I mean FIFA but not responsible for anything that is deemed bad! Oh and I cant be questioned by anybody or anything. I want that job me, where do I sign up for that then!!
He has bought the job for life by convincing the African and Asian nations that he is the one responsible for all the football investment and funding in their nations. A lot of these countries put this much higher on their agendas than corruption. Unless footballing federations like UEFA act, then things won't change. Even Greg Dyke refused to return immoral gifts he received.
TBF Blatter has saved their royal families and ex military fowk having to send out a lot of dodgy emails asking for bank account numbers and subs!
We all know he's an horrible man and I don't think anyone is doubting that. But he himself hasn't been found guilty of anything and he can't be held responsibe for what others within FIFA might be doing on the sly. So his relection isn't a shock.
really?, what's the point of having a head of an organisation if they can't be held responsible when their organisation is found to be riddled with corruption? As far as I can see it means he's either known about it or is inept at his job,either way he should go. Suppose at a pinch he could argue there has been no convictions yet but even that is tenuous given that some have confessed.
These football federations put their financial gains on top of their agenda list, rather than corruption because that's society. If you can name me an Asian or African country that isn't corrupt, I'll show my arse on tarn hall steps.
Of course he should. It is his job to ensure his company is run properly and that involves its biggest decisions not made on the back of wide scale corruption. One employee/member corrupt? Not his fault. 2? Coincidence. 3? Eyup something's dodgy here. 4? Hang abaft Its not as though its a one off. He took up his job in 1998 an in 2000 Germany were awarded the world cup after an admitted bribery attempt changed the vote by one which was the deciding vote. His next big job was the following world cup. Controversy and corruption claims again as he chsnged the rules so that his favoured country from the last world cup HAD to have a chance with only African countries allowed to apply. When it didnt look good for south africa he changed the rules again halfway through the process to rule out two contenders who had a joint bid. He essentially forced a vote between only 3 countries. OK I get what you're saying, that's only 2 out of 2 that were dodgy right? Best make that 3 as Brazil stood unopposed again under Fifa's new rule of american countries only and Columbia withdrawing their bid, a growing trend under Blatter. Next up, the 2018 and 2022 bids and we all know how bent that was don't we Qatar. Four sets of world cup bids since he took over and corruption ties at all 4. Of course that's nowt to do with him is it. Its not like the handsomly paid president of the organisation should have noticed when an idiot in Barnsley can see it using nowt but google.
Blatter has done a brilliant job in promoting football as the world's premier game. He has brought in the African nations and now the Arab countries.
Spot on there twillo, the corrupt look after the corrupt. Every country in Africa bar none run on corruption, it's the normal way of life, and I suppose South America and Asia are the same. So why wouldn't they vote for Blatter? You rub my back and I'll rub yours...
Bernie Blatter strikes again. Abu dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain. Ruined a sport but took it to the middle east. By the way African nations were a big part of international football long before Blatter took over. Nigeria for example have gone backwards. If corruptly hosting the world cup on a continent is all it takes to win you over then you are going to **** your pants when you see my plans for hosting it at the south pole. I'll take football to the penguins in return for a few blocks of ice
Best thing UEFA can do for me is withhold any monies coming through them ,sponsorship wise or affiliation wise and leave Blatter/FIFA with the decisions let's see what they're made of.
