I'm glad Platini has been implicated as he is part of the problem as well

Obviously I hope you're right, but jesus we've been through this so many times now it's impossible to have faith.

Sepp Blatter to stay as Fifa president despite investigation
Sepp Blatter has said he will not stand down as Fifa president despite criminal proceedings being opened against him by Swiss investigators.
The Swiss, 79, is suspected of signing a contract that was "unfavourable to Fifa" and making a "disloyal payment" to Uefa president Michel Platini.
Blatter, who will stand down as Fifa president in February, said he "had done nothing illegal or improper".
Platini, 60, has written a letter to Uefa members denying any wrongdoing.
In a statement released through his lawyers, Blatter said a £1.5m payment made to Platini, the head of European football's governing body, in 2011 was "valid compensation and nothing more".

Hope the prince of Jordon gets the job.
You missed out the next bit
"Both men are also facing investigation by FIFA's independent ethics committee over the payment, which Platini said was for work as Blatter's technical advisor between 1999 and 2002."
So the "work" was from 1999-2002, yet the "payment" was made in 2011.
Quite a gap.

They should get thirty years and every single penny paid back.
They will obviously retire to their Swiss mansions in real life

Blatter is so toxic that Platini's hopes of future greatness are now in tatters.

Would their just desserts be a mid-winter World Cup in Qatar?
They both obviously have a lot of important shredding to do before February!
Couldn't find a big enough brown envelope?

Was just flicking through a few of the news stories and thought this was particularly good, and worth a share
