Just mentioned on TS, WC in Qatar will not go ahead, Sepp Blater wants it elsewhere, prefers China.

Find that a bit hard to believe, I suppose China has made him a better offer.

If not Qatar, surley it will go to Austraila or the States as they had bids?

You missed the important 'IF' (corruption is found) out of your opening post

It will need to go to another vote, no?

If this is true... I was about to say Blatter's position would become untenable, but it has been in that state for many years now, yet the little toad clings on to power.
This is just a journalist's point of view after speaking to Sepp Blatter previously - there was an indication by Blatter that, if they were presented with any evidence of wrongdoing then they would investigate and then who knows what would happen. The journalist suggests that Blatter wants to WC to be in China in 2026, and being in Qatar 2022 would mess this up with the whole rotation thing. Blatter's own vote for 2022 went to the USA.

Does that mean that the bigwigs will get a fresh second batch of palm greasing and diamond encrusted jewels for their wives and mistresses?

Hey Bozza, can we have a special section for threads based on suppositions/discussions from TalkSport Radio?
Maybe called 'Bin' or something?

Well, the head of the Qatar bid has been kicked out of FIFA and given a life ban from football for corruption. You'd think that in itself would be enough to re-open the bidding process, but then we are talking about Blatter I suppose.

The only thing worth listening to on Talksport is Bobby Gould.

How can corruption be proved if FIFA are investigating FIFA - not going to happen, is it ?

Would it not be ironical if they had another vote and we won after what SB said about us and sour grapes.

Well, if the internal investigation into FIFA, by FIFA, uncovers no corruption, at least we will now know for certain that the organisation is corrupt and the investigation was corrupt.

I thought FIFA was the Swiss word for "corrupt"
This, unfortunately is the truth. Internal investigations are suitable for minor to mid-ranging problems. Where there is the suggestion that an entire body is corrupt, any internal investigation will be seen as a farce.
Quite. I must've fallen asleep and woken up at a time Reuters has been renamed 'Talksport'.

Have H&J left then?
I've switched Talksport off some time ago, but surely it hasn't slipped so far that Gould is the best on there, or have they?
