This shit is set to run and run methinks.In the end they may have to wind up FIFA completely and start up a brand new organisation that has complete transparency and accountability.

The entire world is corrupt and anyone thinking otherwise needs to wake up. London is the epicentre of the financial industry and the most corrupt city on the planet because of it. It is also accountable for supply-side corruption that barely gets factored in to corruption statistics. I find it laughable that the British government is pointing the finger at FIFA and other countries yet is riddled with corruption itself to its core. This is what winds me up most about Britain. The hypocritical arrogance and belief that the UK is better than other countries when in reality the people are just more sly, better at covering things up and like to dismiss accountability. The UK is as bad as the rest of them, if not worse in parts. Yes what Warner did is wrong but what about all this foreign aid from Western governments that goes into the pockets of militia groups and tyrants that assume control of African villages by force, destroy families and ruin lives? This fake outrage is boring. FIFA is corrupt, the governments are corrupt, many of the institutions and organisations that run beneath them are corrupt and your local MP probably is privy to stuff they daren't speak out about because it'd upset the lovely little life they've carved out for themselves. Wouldn't want to derail the expenses gravy train now would they? They're full of crap.

Yes I agree corruption is a cancer but to pocket money for the most impoverished blighted by a huge natural disaster surely beggars belief?? Equally FIFA is all but dead now; I would scrap the next two bent World Cups and spend the time putting a new structure together

What a pathetic little diatribe :lol: Yes, yes we all know that an element of corruption is everywhere in society, you would be naive to think otherwise, but the crass instances of corruption that an organisation who are primarily a not for profit organisation who run a sport for the betterment of it's worldwide expansion, is mind blowing. :roll: "London, the most corrupt city on the planet"-do me a favour, you have obviously led a very sheltered life :thumbup:
Fifa, should be nothing more than administrators, yet they have amassed reserves of £1.5 billion and all their officials, fly around first class or private jets and stay in £1000 a night hotels. They are not accountable to anyone, have diplomatic immunity in countries like Paraguay, leave whole countries in debt from insisting they build stadiums that become white elephants and all for lining their own individual pockets.

To be fair, honest Jack has only been accused of this, but not yet proven. Maybe the only way to ensure FIFA is run with complete honesty is to appoint Sam Hammam as Blatter's replacement.

Its quite clear that you have. You don't even know what is going on in the city you reside in, you deluded fool.

You seem to have bought into this idiotic belief that corruption equates to 'bribes on the street'. It does not. Its kind of obvious that London will be more corrupt than other places. Corruption occurs where the money is. The money is in London and New York so of course these places will be hotbeds for corruption.

And yes, London is the most corrupt city on the planet. Just because you don't see it on a day-to-day basis it doesn't mean the going-ons aren't happening and you'd have to be a fool to think otherwise. No offence but you need to get out more and visit more of the world cause you are clearly very clueless.

Oh, and dont give me the 'FIFA are supposed to be this 'x' organisation because governments are supposed to serve their electorate yet neither do what they're intended to do and both just serve themselves and their own, hence why corruption in both instances has been allowed to manifest.

Lmao its hilarious how deluded most Brits are pretending this sort of high level corruption doesn't go on in the financial capital of the world. No offence, but to believe that the financial capital in the world isn't also the corruption capital is fundamentally stupid. Crooks go where the money is and that's the way it has always been.

Don't even get me started on the politicians.

Expenses scandals
Pedophile scandals and protectionism
Tower Hamlets elections
Other election probes

They are all at it. It is ridiculous to single out FIFA or any one country for it because most of the big players are doing it. As for FIFA, it is wholesomely naive and down right stupid to suggest that an organisation tied to numerous sponsors including banks and big money making companies is going to be the organisational embodiment of Mother Theresa. FIFA, just like any other organisation, protects its own and serves itself. Even the NHS is guilty of that hence all the quangos and privatised deals that go on.

So again, what country is really corrupt? The one where you can bribe a copper for straying over the speed limit or the one where a political system and police force turn a blind eye to the systematic child abuse of thousands of children to save their own backsides? The problem is with most people in the UK is that a lot of them barely travel, barely understand other languages and are ignorant and fearful of the world. They also suffer a superiority complex as I've mentioned before and believe they are above these other 'corrupt' nations. The reality is the UK is just full of hypocrites pointing the finger whilst dismissing accountability.

I've thought for quite a long time that the UK and USA are probably up there with the world's most corrupt countries. Our MP's, Police, Local Govt Officials, Bankers, Press, etc. are regularly in the news for underhanded practices. Hard to know who to trust now.
