I am not sure why people think anything fundamental will change if Blatter is not in charge

UEFA already have a four yearly tournament. I cannot see them cutting of their nose to spite their face in not turning up to such a valuable tournament as the World Cup . Let's hope the US legal team deliver justice. The corruption of wealth and power is pervasive it would be great if Blatter...

we have had predictions of parachute money being dominant in the championship before I do not expect it to be any more true in the future. It is very different at the very top level.The Oligarch clubs of European football will continue to dominate hoovering up all the top talent. The top teams...

I am afraid 'the left " have lost its way in many areas . Europe being one of the the prime examples of this. I think it is a reflex .Nationalists and xenophobes are anti EU so we must be pro.It is a variation of the fallacy the enemy of my enemy is my friend . Democracy is weak and ineffective...

Xenophobia does cloud the argument.A distaste of Xenophobia clouds many people's judgement.Seeing the trees ' i am not against immigrants ' not seeing the wood -the elite have been winning the battle for money tokens and the resources they buy for 40 years , the wages share has been falling as...

yes we are told from the right what labour needs pro business (do not raise minimum pay,keep zero hour contracts, keep European wide labour market,keep non dom tax status) pro aspiration( do not tax wealthy people more but do not mention that people on average pay will not be able to buy a...

another case of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. more local firms going bankrupt. more workers earning lower wages. But you get a cheaper ride and a tax avoiding mega-corp makes a few people very rich.

I do have a preference for 4 3 3 although I am swayed by all the great teams of recent years Barcelona Real Madrid Bayern Munich the German and Spanish national teams.Of course they had a different quality of footballers , particularly in the wide attacking positions and attacking midfield. I...

we have not been recovering at a decent rate for several years when the coalition came to power GDP growth was 1% it took 4 years for the government to return to those rates there has been a raft of historically low economic data last year it was average wages flatlining for 7 years recently it...

I see the preliminary gdp figures for the first quarter of this year show growth of 0.3% down from 0.6% for the last quarter of last year . In terms of GDP growth per capita both would be weaker still. It seems the slowest recovery in modern history is slowing down. This is the plan that is working?
