Owen Gibson on Football weekly was talking about further scandals, relating to FIFA and dear Seppli, that he wasn't allowed to talk about at the moment but that would be published in the Guardian in the coming weeks. I hope I wasn't reading too much into his comments but I took it to mean that Sepp is going to gaol.

I would be OK with him just rotting in jail for the rest of his days. They've got plenty of evidence on everyone else without his hyperbole I'm sure.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/24/michel-platini-usa-2022-bid-voting-qatarquote:Michel Platini has acknowledged that he “might have told” American officials he would vote for the United States’ 2022 World Cup bid, before he voted for Qatar instead. That doesn't sound like massive bribery at all.

Platini is even less transparent than Blatter, dude hasn't even announced what platform he's running on but still wanted guarantee from AFC and UEFA that he got their votes

It's official, Qatar 2022 will be in November-December. Apparently we're all wrong and this is a good thing because players will be fresher.

I saw it flash up on Sky News in the office TV and thought I was dreaming. Someone post that 'it's happening' gif again. Edit: More info, it is regarding a 2 million "disloyalty" payment, whatever that is, to none other than Platini, just holy balls you couldn't even make this stuff up.

Oh, it's 2 million francs. It would be hilarious if Blatter was taken down by less money than he spends on a car.

quote:suspicion of criminal mismanagement The moment that Blatter finds out his defense of claiming to be simply too incompetent to bear any responsibility of what those under him have done is actually a crime.

Swiss television has scans of the documents, signed by Blatter himself: http://www.srf.ch/news/allgemeines/blatter-verkaufte-tv-rechte-weit-unter-dem-marktpreis Basically, Blatter sold the TV rights for the world cups in South Africa and Brazil for US$ 600,000 to Jack Warner, who then sold them again for reportedly 20 million dollars.

Seems to me he was perfectly entitled to sell the rights to the thing. Not his fault Jack Warner made a fortune from it. Warner should be punished harder for taking advantage of a poor, confused, and trusting old man.

If the Swiss want him to go down and they fail, they can always still turn him over to the US. If they Swiss don't give a poo poo and they fail, he could skate free if he can beat this one charge.
