Didn't know Ron Atkinson had taken up a management position in Russia.

He might play the clown in his various personas - Lee Nelson, Jason Bent - but Simon Brodkin is a very incisive comedian and is to be commended for making a mockery of both FIFA and Blatter, in the same way as he also had a crack at cutting Kanye West's ego down (to the size of a small galaxy) at Glastonbury.

Swiss attorney general opens criminal proceedings against Sepp Blatter for a deal with Jack Warner and a payment to UEFA president Michel Platini

Edited by Russ35 on Friday 25th September 15:38

Blatter has had a criminal case opened against him by the Swiss Attorney General for payments to Platini. Happy Friday folks!

[Cobnapint]

That's Platini implicated for receiving then, if true.

[Blib]

Platini did vote for Qatar.

[tescorank]

Laurent, the son of Michel Platini, the executive committee member for France and president of Uefa, became the chief executive of Burrda, a Qatar-owned sports company. Michel Platini has always said that his son's role was completely unconnected to him voting for Qatar to host the World Cup.😅

The apple does not fall far from the tree.
Laurent Platini is also the lawyer for PSG, the biggest spenders in football.

Both Platinis need a lawyer better than Laurent. Bad stuff heading their way.

It couldn't happen to a nicer corrupt old man in a suit.

So jack Warner says he's not been a bad boy!

Dig out the Jack Warner Vs John Oliver Trinidad public TV videos on youtube.

The man could claim the earth is a cube run by an Alien called Bob and still keep a straight face.

MacDonalds have made a similar statement.
Blatter's lawyer says no.

...publicly. Can't believe that's the advice he's giving him in private. Only one person could have that much self confidence, surely!

[hornetrider]

Visa and Budweiser have also demanded he step down. Surely untenable now.

[carinaman]

I was going to suggest that the sponsors associated with Blatter and FIFA match Osborne's £3 Million he's given for grassroots soccer in China, but a brief google mentioned corruption and match fixing in China.

Looks that way. I think we all hope you're right.
