Well whats the fuckin point of all that then....? The report was seen top be done but done to be seen. They will have hoped compiling a report would appease everyone. What probably happened is the report was so damning and so scandalous they will have to take dramatic action. And Blatter might not have read it but he will know what is in it.

Blatter rejects publishing report on World Cup voting procedures until next year. "...the average salary among its [FIFA] 412 employees is $220,000 (£122,500)." The the inaugural 'World Summit on Ethics In Sport' was hosted by FIFA. Oh, and he's standing for election again next year

Why does this not surprise me? It would be like the Kray Twins opening their books.

I once thought that a Global Sports Governing Body overseeing the ethics of all International Sporting associations might be the answer and thus giving the likes of FIFA a body to answer to, which they don't appear to ever have had. Then I thought supposing Blatter moved to be the Head of this body.

I think realistically, he'll be there till he croaks, skimming a bit off the top and corrupting primarily the African nations and getting a nice healthy wedge.
Unfortunately, a large part of the blame lies with us and Tony Blair. So ultimately, we must shoulder some of the responsibility.

My guess is the findings were so damning, even more than we might have expected, they daren't release it. And Blatter might not have read it but he'll know what's in it.
When entries open for 2022 some major nations shouldn't enter. Boycott. The tipping point has been reached.

The only good thing about Blatter being in the top job is he opposed Qatar. There is still hope it could be taken off them.

But Blatter clings on his position as strong as ever.

I'm not sure why he's so bothered. Garcia's reports never incriminate the person who commissioned them.

This increases the possibility of Garcia going solo and leaking bits of info himself. Results of any legal action FIFA take against him would easily be outweighed by the credibility he'd gain in other areas of life

Joe - I always get the impression that this is just a public stance by Blatter. In private I suspect he's very happy the Qatar decision. Very little happens in FIFA that he does not want.

Actually there have been several times when he hasn't got his own way. He was furious that 2006 went to Germany. Also he was opposed to Australia joining the Asian section of FIFA. I'm sure for 2022 he was backing the USA bus stand to be corrected.

Do you really believe that he is straight up and honest and doesn't say one thing in public and one thing in private?

Unlike Platini he didn't vote for them. Where Blat is wrong though is mismanaging his organisation and failing to weed the crooks out thus allowing corruption to become so rife and commonplace Qatar were able to win the bid.

They have all got their snouts in the trough and Blatter presides over this shower of crooks. He may not have thought Qatar was a good idea, but he was happy to watch Britain, the USA and other countries pour millions into a sham bidding process, knowing all along that Russia and Qatar were going to get the vote. The amount of money swilling around FIFA is obscene when there are clubs going bust all over the world. There are huge problems with the game and things like FFP are brought in to address the problems and then abused from FIFA and EUFA down, like everything else.
Nothing ever changes apart from the money and power which keeps flowing his way.

Strangely after unswerving support and patronage, Blatter seemed to change his mind post the FIFA main sponsors and the TV companies who have brought the rights for the next two World Cups which were sold as a package kicked off about the location and particularly the plan to move it to the winter. Odd that isn't it?

Michel Platini announced early in 2013 he favours a Qatar World Cup on two conditions. 1 It should be played in winter and 2 it should be shared with neighbouring countries. He clarified his position but the point has to be made, these conditions weren't part of the bid when he voted for it in 2010. Qatar in 2022 has already proved to be the most controversial, confused mess in FIFA’s history. If it is to be in Northern hemisphere winter it has to be confirmed soon. Disrupting the nogger calendar so much will need years of adjustment planning.

If you look at England Jo, we play realistically 6-7 competitive matches in January. Im sure it wouldnt be too much of a ballache to tack a few games on at the start and end of the season....would it?

A week after the tounament to return to clubs. It could mean nearly two months with no league or cup games.

Play league matches instead of having international breaks in that season, that's about 8 games covered

If the football calendar was to be turned on its head to accomode a winter World Cup how would you feel about playing more of our domestic games in the summer months, June,July?
