A very genuine question, mate, as it looked like it had already been settled by FIFA but subsequently was referred to the OAG.Cheers and I sort of guessed that, no I did honest, but I assume someone complained to them ? I have tried googling how it all started but I don't seem to get any further than todays news. One reason for asking is I wondered if the Sheikh had ever given a wedge to private detectives and said go find the shit on those Uefa bastards.
Edit: In the City Forum, on the City banned in Europe mega thread, someone has posted a tweet. This indicates that Fifa originally brought the charge but then looked to withdraw it after coming to an agreement. It seems the Swiss court have told them to fuck right off, they will continue the proceedings. I tell you what it is bloody complicated but it highlights how dodgy the bastards are and how they think they are above the law.
An organisation that is not fit for purpose and should be disbanded immediately.

If it was settled, why/how was it referred?
As I read it FIFA found out they were bent, investigated and alerted the Swiss Court, this prompted the result they wanted from the accused, presumably a bribe, so they told the Swiss Court to drop the matter as it had been settled. The Swiss Court said Fuck off, (I think they said it in French though) and the Swiss are still insisting it goes to trial. It really is hard to follow though because one of the original allegations was that one of the accused got an enormously expensive watch of the other as a 'gift' but they (FIFA) have decided that is ok !! No other business would allow one of their employees to get expensive presents from a supplier and yet these fuckers...……… It is so bent I am sick of it and maybe think about sacking it.
we get them at work, every Xmas the bribes come in & the receptionist googles the value of the wine etc & the envelopes & parcels & flicks it to HR.
The gift registry is checked to make sure it’s all there & it’s there for ever if your conduct looks a bit dodgy.
I reckon my sum of gifts last year was approx $1500 aud which isn’t like a $500k watch but it is to me ;)
difference is I declare it, regift to my teams, wines, chocs & vouchers & make sure i treat them fairly. 1 shit supplier was dropped after poor performance & big gifter, where as the supplier that gave nothing got 3 year contract. ( warned about lack of gifts tho stingy twats ;)
Right, time to be honest: I was self employed and had a contract with a firm that had a strict no gifts/hospitality etc. A security company we used rang me and offered me corporate for a Derby at the Swamp. I rang the guy I reported to at head office and asked if it was OK. He knew me and knew I would not give undue favours to this company so he said yes.
It was the 1-6 !!!!!! It was effin brilliant. Oh and shortly after I got the company sacked off as they were underperforming which showed I could not be bought. That may also be the reason why I have never been offered a job at Uefa.
Nothing up with that :)
