A lot may change after the July elections. Should Laporta win, the new management would be significantly less pro-Quatar than the current one.

Angel Maria Villar is corrupt as hell

quote:

Sepp Blatter has warned that anyone who associates him with the recent scandal at Fifa “should go to jail” and insisted that “he will go to heaven one day”.

Fourteen senior executives of football’s governing body were charged with corruption on 27 May by prosecutors in the United States over bids for major tournaments dating back 24 years.

Blatter is due to relinquish his role as Fifa president at an extraordinary congress to be held between December and March. However, after speculation that he could yet remain in his role was dampened by Fifa, Blatter is adamant that he has not committed any crime and revealed that he has been relying on his string Christian faith to help him through the crisis.

“I have a clean conscience,” he said in an interview with German magazine Bunte.

“If somebody accuses me of being corrupt, I ask him whether he knows the meaning of that word. Whoever calls me corrupt will have to prove it, but nobody can prove that because I am not corrupt.

“I am open to correct or positive criticism. I can use that to reconsider if I need to change in the future. But if anybody calls me corrupt because Fifa is corrupt, I can only shake my head. Everybody who says something like that should go to jail.

Blatter added: “My faith has given me strength during the last week. I am a religious person and pray, too. I own a golden cross that has been blessed by Pope Francis. I believe I will go to heaven one day. But I believe there is no hell. I disagree with the pope on that.”

Blatter’s US lawyer confirmed on Tuesday that the 79-year-old will not attend the Women’s World Cup final in Canada this weekend “for personal reasons”.

They did for 10 years while they turned Blazer. Maybe Sepp's just a small fish in the game.

He's phase 3. Phase 1 was Blazer(the Undercover Informant), Phase 2 is arresting mid-to-high levels executives and get them to roll on higher-ups, leading to Phase 3: Taking down the Boss. It's like you guys have never heard of a RICO case ever. This is how every Mob trial has ever gone.

Depends on how fast guys like Webb, Warner, and Valcke turn over evidence. John Gotti took years, but he was actually pretty good at being a criminal. Blatter is not. I'm sure if he were to show up in Canada, there'd be a nice warrant for his arrest waiting for him at the tarmac.

He's 79 years old, has been corrupt as gently caress for decades yet walks free. It wouldn't surprise me if he was the one who shopped Blazer to the feds years ago. I bet he's faking that limp too.

Blatter has done nothing wrong and nobody will ever prove otherwise. You might get his underlings to say he's done things (and thereby receive a lesser sentence) because that's how American Justice works (see that Muslim guy who worked for the FBI whose only job was to infiltrate mosques and convince poor black guys to blow Jews up with a promise of vast amounts of money), but there will be no actual solid evidence.

Love that some of you have so much faith in your disgracefully corrupt "justice" system, though.

Again, you misunderstand. What is it about RICO that you think will end the tenure of Sepp Blatter? What do you think RICO will achieve?

You cannot include 'the men already arrested will testify against him' or anything that implies such, because outside your fine country that doesn't mean anything.

Because your opinion (by your own admission) is based on willful ignorance.

Put another way, no one can stop you from posting your opinion, but you shouldn't act so personally affronted when everyone points out how wrong you are.
