Chuck Blazer admits the accepted bribes in relation to the South African World Cup and the France 1998 World Cup. To be fair I didn't even bat an eye lid at these selections!!
 

FIFA

At least we now all know that the footballing world hates us because we can't be bought.

I suspect we'll just find out that we're considerably less corrupt than a lot of others rather than free from corruption entirely.

FIFA made u play the corruption card - even Australia gave watches and jewels at a dinner in Sydney - no one will be squeaky clean

Warner says he will tell all...implicating Blatter and others as well it seems....wonder if he has done a deal with the Feds?

Every man for himself it seems....
 

FIFA

Fifa paid the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to stop legal action over Thierry Henry's handball in Ireland's World Cup play-off defeat by France in 2009, it has been claimed.
FAI chief executive John Delaney said the association believed it had a legal case against Fifa.
A fee was then agreed to drop the claim, Delaney said, after Ireland missed the 2010 finals in South Africa.
The fee was believed to be 5 million euros (£3.6m)

I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of that man's mouth, and I doubt the FBI would either if he did do a deal with them.
 

FIFA

FIFA state that they made a "loan" of 5 million dollars to the FAI (to help with building a new stadium) which was payable back IF Ireland qualified for that world cup!
This is getting messy now!

FIFA said it was refundable if they got to the World Cup, what I don't get is, they got knocked out?

Whilst it does rather look like rats leaving a sinking ship Warner claims to have letters from lovable rogue Sepp which implicates him in some rather dodgy dealings

If that is the case then I can't see Sepp lasting very long despite what he says

Interestingly when he returned to FIFA headquarters he gave a speech to all the staff and got a standing ovation, seems the lunatics have taken over the asylum !!!

I waiting for the downfall piss take - that will hilarious lol

----------- In view of all the poor refereeing decisions against us last season, at least one per match on average, should we not be entitled to about £165 million pounds in compensation!

FIFA said the money was "a loan", which was intended to be paid back if Ireland qualified for World Cup 2014. The loan was subsequently written off.

Yes that's what I meant. Apologies.
 

FIFA

Can't add BBC link in from my iPad but $10m was transferred from FIFA accounts to Warner accounts. This is all going to get interesting.

Warner will grass everyone up in an attempt to save his own hide...hopefully it won't wash with the Feds and he does some serious bird.

FIFA spent about $20m on this little vanity project too

From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33050289

A vanity film about the history of Fifa has flopped in the US, taking just $607 (£397) in its opening weekend.

United Passions was funded by about £17 million of Fifa cash, and was completed before corruption charges were made against 14 of its officials in May.

Starring Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter, the hagiography of football's governing body has had damning reviews.

The Village Voice called it "not merely ham-fisted, but pork-shouldered, bacon-wristed, and sausage-elbowed".

The Guardian added that "as proof of corporate insanity it is a valuable case study."

The movie's budget was estimated at between $25 - $32 million (£16 - £21 million), with Fifa said to have put up about three-quarters of the money.

It debuted in the States on Friday, on just 10 screens.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the FilmBar cinema in Phoenix reported takings of just $9, meaning only one person bought a ticket.

Ridiculous. :laugh:
It seems Warner was bought by Morocco, Egypt and South Africa. South Africa stumped up the most dosh... :shrug:
 

FIFA

I have now completely lost touch with who had bunged how much for what and for why

is there anyone in FIFA who isn't corrupt, in fact with dubious betting, recent irregularities in Italy ( forgot to mention that when Juventas played last week!!) one wonders is football corrupt????
 

FIFA

The $10m dollar bribe to Warner of which $5m was laundered through the supermarket chain says it all really.

It's sad that most of the world are like this. You work hard only to know once you've got there you can take the piss for your own gain.
 

FIFA

Maradona to be FIFA Vice President????

Has the world gone totally mad????
 

FIFA

Remarkable!
Sepp Blatter postpones bidding process for 2026 World Cup to appease UEFA nations who may defect from FIFA allowing them to bid for the tournament.
That has pissed off the USA who were likely to be the main bid.
Maybe Blatter is a tad miffed with the USA given recent events?

I reckon the film that is made after the corruption allegations will be far more interesting.
 

FIFA

Fifa communications director Walter De Gregorio has been sacked after sealing his fate with a joke about the governing body on Swiss TV.
Gregorio told Swiss chat show Schawinski: "The Fifa president, secretary general and communications director are all travelling in a car. Who's driving? The police."

what a cracker...lol
 

FIFA

So the whistle blower was working undercover for the FBI as part of his plea bargaining and was wired up for meetings !!!

Must be a lot of very worried people in the corridors of power at FIFA

If this was a book nobody would read it as considered ridiculous

FIFA slowly unravelling here but no doubt once they have cleared the Agean Stables it will all start again !!!!

The Oslo-based Nobel Peace Centre is ending its work with football's world governing body after corruption allegations.
"This action does not embody the spirit of fair play" said Fifa.

:laugh: Who the **** are FIFA to lecture anybody with regards to fair play?

Blatter and two others "awarded" themselves 55million swiss francs in bonuses

Someone please lock them up
 

FIFA

We shouldn't be surprised. Blatter has always resisted publication of his earnings. Huge question marks again over FIFA's governance to allow this.
 

FIFA

I beleive there is now an investigation by German authorities into the new head of FIFA.

It really is time the whole edifice was brought down

In an ideal world they could share the same cell as Sir Philip Green, who has raped BHS, raided pensions, put 11,000 out of work
and rewarded himself with a (third) yacht

The organisation should've been shut down and reformed. However, you'll still get those with their noses firmly in the money trough.
