“When you sup with the devil, be sure to use a long spoon,” is a sage piece of advice from way back which our PM would do well to heed this week. He is tearing himself away from domestic turmoil to visit the septic pustule that is FIFA. He along with Mr R. Slicker and his team of soul-sellers, will attempt to persuade that most corrupt of bodies to grant England the 2018 World Cup. Fat chance.
What happened to standards? What happened to decency? Rather than prostrating themselves before these slime-balls, the same energy and drive should be put into a move to clean up the whole rotten shebang.
The revelations of further corruption on Panorama are not shocking to those of us who have followed the disgraceful doings of FIFA for many years. They have proved over and over again that they are incapable of cleaning up their act. An independent commission with powers to go through all their books would be a start.
Failing that, is it not possible for a rival breakaway football organisation to be set up to which all decent people and Football associations can subscribe?
