Platini is heavily implicated in the Qatar bid. It won't be long before his name is in the frame.
He has played a very dangerous game, even though the sanctions imposed are pretty meaningless there is a certain humiliation factor involved, if there is dirt on him it will come out all I can say is what an idiot, although I have always felt he has played patsy to vested interests of the cartel, as I doubt he is clever and astute enough to carry this out by himself
Course he isn't. He's just the front man of UEFA. A really great player in his time, French speaking, needed a job, was probably intelligent
enough AND stupid
enough (and brave enough) to do the role UEFA wanted him for. But I really doubt he's behind anything that comes out of UEFA. He's just the face. The one who is prepared to take the flack, if he even knows that's why he's in the job he's in.
Have you ever noticed when confronted about FFPR, he's very closed and doesn't seem to divulge a great deal? I think that's because he doesn't know it all in total depth so has been told to be guarded about it by the men really behind it all.
There are some very shady people working behind the scenes on all UEFA's doings. Whether they are lawyers or bankers telling UEFA (and FIFA) what to do or UEFA (or FIFA) officials themselves, they are well dodgy. I don't think Platini is anywhere near astute enough to be behind anything so big.
I'm not saying he isn't getting brown envelopes from guys in long coats on a park bench (no, I don't mean tramps giving him a sip of whiskey!), it may well turn out that Platini is getting fortunes in dodgy Swiss bank accounts. But he's just the front man, he's not the root of the problem.
