Jack warner resigns from Fifa

[terry1]

cant help thinking hes been been paid off handsomely in order to keep his mouth shut

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I think he promised to reveal a 'Tsunami of revelations' against FIFA, which now presumably will be put on hold as part of a ridiculous cover up. Amazing how we appear to be the only country who re prepared to whistleblow FIFA? What next corruption at the IOC?

Ridiculous. This was an investigation into corruption at the highest level of FIFA. How on earth can they get away with stopping the investigation after he resigns. Corruption is obviously inherent throughout world football for this to be allowed to happen. I guess pretty much every member must have a few skeletons in the cupboard and that is why nobody will take a stand. I'm sure Septic Bladder has warned that if he goes down then he will take the body lot down with him!

Grow some bollocks you bunch of gravy train riding wankers!

Warner resigns from all Fifa posts - Telegraph

He resigns and is thus presumed innocent, the ethics committee will now stop investigating the allegations...is this the only organisation in the World that would give up investigating a possible crime just because the accused resigned and left...in fact, that is a stupid question, we all know the answer. The only way to really get to the root of those allegations would be for someone completely independant to carry out the investigation, but that will never happen, FIFA loses even more credibility...if that is possible.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The fact that the enquiry has been ended and the charges dropped absolutely stinks.

What gets me is Blatter's total and utter complacency. He thinks that people around the world will continue to play, watch and support football as if they are blind. The fact is Blatter is slowly killing the sport by encouraging corruption and cover-ups on a political level whilst at the same time burying his head in the sand with regard to the use of technology or the deterioration in respect and player conduct, the last World Cup Final being the nadir in this respect.

The fact is I'm more excited by the prospect of the next Ryder Cup and next Rugby World Cup, rather than Euro 2012 or WC2014 in Russia.

I'm inspired by watching Rory McIlroy destroy the field in the US Open and I was thrilled when Jenson Button pipped Vettel to win the Canadian Grand Prix. Barcelona apart, football on the global scale just isn't delivering.

i suppose from a legal standpoint they have to say 'innocent until proven guilty' even though we all know he's as dodgy as a nine-bob note (and this resignation effectively proves it).

I wonder whether he's been given a payoff - if not presumably he'll start naming names now that were complicit in all the goings-on, which would be entertaining.

you go, we drop investigation,you keep mouth shut! Blatter stays

It's not THAT amazing really. Most of the countries in FIFA are ones that stand to gain by getting awards to build football further in their countries. If you were the president of the Nigeria FA, getting all sorts of bits and pieces for the game in your country - not to mention free tickets to travel all over the world, would you really care what goes on to achieve it ? The ones who shouted loudest are the ones that lost out in the bidding process, which makes our argument weaker. If we'd made a fuss DURING the process, and thrown away our chance of hosting, it would have had mroe credibility.
