Just watched the excellent Documentary series ‘FIFA Uncovered’

Bit worrying really. It suggests FIFA may have been a little less than honest in the past …maybe, corrupt, even.

Surely not?

Are they suggesting that this finished when Blatter left, or continued ....
 
Unsure in watching it. Netflix docs are often biased sensationalist guff
 
Was corrupt, is corrupt and will remain corrupt because of the £££££`s involved.

Everyone has a price.
 
I learnt from that documentary that Chuck Blazers tailor didn't do a very good job with his suits

Um, hardly a surprise: Fifa Honorary President Joao Havelange quit his role after a corruption probe revealed he pocketed bribes totaling £1m between 1992 and 2000 from a marketing firm.

Did he have to resign because he should have pocketed far more than that over an 8 year period?
 
Strangely enough, Havelange was largely responsible for bringing FIFA into the modern age as regards TV rights and marketing - unfortunately he decided that a lot of the resultant financial benefits would then be spread among board and committee representatives, as well as its international members.

The latest in a long of scandals is that Infantini will stand for re-election unopposed.

His personal trainer and dietician were off the ball too.

His hairdresser, presumably, was 'experimenting' with LSD throughout.
