This is a dog and pony show. A completely fabricated agenda ran by the Western press at the behest and manipulation of their UEFA sources. The problem is that you have to look at the sources and the sources of the sources to really see the fabrication, as pretty much the entire Western sports media has bought into it (which means the entire Western world of sports fans has).
First and foremost, Sepp Blatter is probably the only person in this argument who isn't corrupt. I'm sure he's played his politics like anybody to get to the top but he's pretty much whiter than white like all of the people at the top usually are. Evidence against Blatter would have already surfaced by now if there was any to surface.
You have to realise what this is about. It isn't about cleaning up FIFA and never has been, it is about UEFA wanting to commercialise the game across the world like it has done with the Champions League by favouring the richer countries over the smaller countries.
Blatter is and has always been elected by the smaller nations. He believes in spreading the wealth around the world and using football as a platform for social change. UEFA believe that this policy has meant that the $4billion they get from the World Cup commercial revenue is undervalued, and just like the CL and FFP, losing the bigger nations means a World Cup is worth less. Blatter believes that the vote of England is just as important the vote by Peru and nobody should be favoured by a global body.
Let's look at THE FACTS for a minute. The Qatar World Cup bid was almost entirely supported by UEFA and opposed by Blatter and the smaller nations. Platini voted for Qatar as did Villar, Qatar played quid-pro-quo with investments in Spain and France to secure the influence of those FIFA Vice Presidents who sit on the ExCo and vote on the World Cup. Prince Ali was nailed on as voting for Qatar already due to being supported in his Vice President elections by UEFA. Smaller nations don't vote on the WC host, only the ExCo does.
This is the thing that nobody here is seeing. Prince Ali is and always has been a UEFA puppet, all of his support comes from there. Blatter is propped up by the African and Asian nations who want a fair shot at things.
This isn't a battle about corruption, it's a battle between Platini and Blatter and corruption is being weaponised by one side. If you lads want to pitch your hat with a man who has proposed that the CL Final should be in Dubai, handed the World Cup to Qatar and invented FFP then so be it.
You're all on the wrong side because the media is buying Platini's bullshit. Are you not even a little suspicious that the same media whores like Rob Harris and Henry Winter who trot out that City are ruining football because we're breaking up their cartel are now like attack dogs on Blatter? Did that not strike you as odd that a cartel supporting bunch of pricks suddenly want to clean up the game and have found a morality that they don't apply in Europe?
