Is it my imagination or does Sepp actually go to grab the money here?

It must have been serious, though, as he is spoken of as a sort of amalgam of Jimmy Savile and Fred West :shrug:

[Billy Goat Sverige]

taking backhanders. Hardly the worst of crimes ever committed. I think there's a disproportionate amount of anger/hate being directed towards him :shrug:

[Berni]

[Berni]

have had their noses severely put out of joint.

Don't get me wrong, he's as bent as an earwig's cock, but the sanctimony coming from this country on the subject is getting a bit sickening.

[Classic Jorge]

That said, he has presided over some fairly scandalous deals being done throughout football since taking charge in 1998. Not forgetting the fact he was also number two to Havelange, who was pretty corrupt himself, prior to that.

[Classic Jorge]

I mean, Teen Wolf's Dad Chuck Blazer wore a wire so he could get a reduced sentence FFS.

[Snin]

sickening

[Rich]

People really love to get their knickers in a twist over nothing.

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Guilty :judge:

Sepp doesn't have a particularly kind face; he looks like he'd fiddle with a little boy's winkle, but would give him a sweet afterwards.

[Snin]

so that's ok then

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Which deals? What corruption? I, for one, have no knowledge of any such instances.

[Berni]

Hard to take evil seriously if the perpetrator sounds like one of the Wurzels imo.

As to Sepp Blatter, a lot would depend on the sweet. If it was a Wham Bar or a Curly Wurly, that's one thing, but if he tried to fob you off with a Black Jack or a Fruit Salad, I'd be straight onto Esther Rantzen.

This motherf**ker had two penthouse suites, one for him and one for his cats. Now who here could fail to be down with that?

Lots and lots of deals involving the sale of TV rights for knockdown prices with huge kickbacks and a massive, massive amount of looking the other way when child associations did the same, and in some cases even more egregiously corrupt stuff.

That's before we even start on the world cup bidding processes.

[Supermac1976]

He can just f**k right off & leave the telly blokes to it imvho.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Are you suggesting that him having two penthouse suites is in some way a bad thing? I don't really understand what you're saying.

[Classic Jorge]

Treble Guinnesses all round!

[redgunamo]

[Classic Jorge]

I mean, he doesnt want to get two penthouses in the trump tower all scratched up and pissy, does he? Far more sensible to rent out another one on FIFA's dime imo

[Classic Jorge]

He made very little secret of it and delivered on most of his promises to africa and asian federations who voted for him en masse.

[Luis Anaconda]

Not really up on the whole Qatar thing are you r.

[7evens]

and I won't have a word said about dear old Bob Maxwell and the Mirror pension fund.
At least he had the decency to sling himself off the side of a boat.

[Classic Jorge]

Not sure how many of these are white though

[redgunamo]

Does it even count as corruption if everyone is in on it?

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Imagine loads of nobodies getting all pissy because you bought yourself a new stapler :shrug: It's got f**k all to do with anyone else.

[redgunamo]

[7evens]

The FBI do love a trial.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Right now we know precisely f**k all. The mob have their pitchforks, though, so I suppose they must run to the castle gates.

[Classic Jorge]

[7evens]

I think the reason people dislike him so much is the way he's publicly conducted himself over the years and many of the inane comments he's trotted out.
I think gays abstaining from sex during Qatar 2022 was possibly one of his best..

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I thought it was to do with football.

When do you find the time to check all the other world governing bodies' accounts to check that their expenditure accords strictly with what you, in your capacity of moral guardian of world governing bodies, has decided it should be?

I couldn't give a flying fart if the chief executive of the world synchronised swimming association has a permanent live-in staff of 16 and an account with a Ukrainian hooker. That's his business, and that of his employers.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

something, all of the f**king time.

It's outrageous.

[Classic Jorge]

Also, the bloke who does all of this investigative business is a fantastic journalist who writes really well on the subject. Well worth a read if you ever find the time.

[redgunamo]

Perhaps this is too embarrassing to admit so, as a scapegoat, he is perfect.

[7evens]

I mean, just look at the stuff Ecclestone has come out with over the years.

[redgunamo]

It's not supposed to be serious.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It might stop you being such a buzzkill.

[7evens]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You can stuff it up your arse for nothing and f**k off while you're doing it.
