Sorry how isn't what is needed exactly? What benefit is there in keeping FIFA exactly? It's a very rich and established mechanism - if it was lead in the right way and didn't have the corrupt faces at it's top inner circle it could transform almost overnight for a positive thing for the world of football. I'm not saying I'm against tearing it down and starting again - just seems over kill. There's clearly a number corrupt cunts at the top that need removing from football, at any level, for good. Post that, rules need to come in to limit how long people stay at the top of FIFA and introduce transparency on everything it does to make it all fair again.

Corruption is ingrained in the organisation now, you'd literally have to get rid of every single Fifa delegate (or whatever they're called) and start again with new rules as you say. So if you're doing that why not just start from scratch and give people a better organisation? Introducing limited 4 year terms our whatever now is simply going to mean they've got less time to make money and will probably be even greedier. They've become so bad football literally needs to see the back of Fifa imo, it needs a fresh start and I hope the Germans have the balls to make it happen cause the cunts in charge if the English fa won't derail the gravy train.

Skeletor Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's too shameless to even get annoyed about, it's just hilarious "OK, that guy's done that independent review. You can't see the report but it basically says the Russia and Qatar bids were fine and dandy and the real bad guys are the people who said they were corrupt. Especially England, they're the most corrupt out of everyone" "Uh, had on, that's not what I said at all." "Shut up. " Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's announced this guy has committed suicide by shooting himself four times in the back of the head, leaving a note saying he couldn't live with the lies he told about his own report. :lol: I like the fact that the Russians are saying they never kept any documentation. They just rented a load of computers and didn't back anything up to external drives, or print anything out, or keep any emails The whole thing is just insane. Russians in 'lying through their teeth' shock RussianTimes version will no doubt claim evil western hackers destroyed all documentation to fit agenda.

Stifler Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just to note, that guy from Germany is the head of the German league's, not the German FA. He has no authority to remove Germany from FIFA. Also today the head of finance from Australia's bid is saying she has been threatened by people at FIFA not to release certain information.

54 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=2476219/index.html Awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting rights: FIFA lodges criminal complaint Following the statement issued by the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee, Hans-Joachim Eckert, on the report by the chairman and deputy chairman of the investigatory chamber, Judge Eckert has recommended to the FIFA President – in line with the FIFA Code of Ethics – that a criminal complaint be lodged with the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland in Berne. This criminal complaint has been lodged today. The subject of the criminal complaint is the possible misconduct of individual persons in connection with the awarding of the hosting rights of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups investigated by Michael Garcia, chairman of the investigatory chamber of the FIFA Ethics Committee. In particular there seem to be grounds for suspicion that, in isolated cases, international transfers of assets with connections to Switzerland took place, which merit examination by the criminal prosecution authorities. The reports compiled by Michael Garcia and Cornel Borbély will be made available to the Office of the Attorney General via Hans-Joachim Eckert. Unlike FIFA’s bodies, the Swiss criminal prosecution authorities have the ability to conduct investigations under application of criminal procedural coercive measures.
