The news that the England World Cup bid team have written a two-page hand-wringing letter to the loathsome FIFA does not surprise. FIFA make most Bond villains look incredibly tame in comparison. Have the bid people not an ounce of self-respect? Is big money involved? Are bears Catholic?
"We are ever so sorry, dear nice Mr Blatter, but we are unfortunate enough to live in a free country where we have no control over our media, unlike your wonderful organisation. Please don't hold it against us. We have done everything you have asked for. (And a lot more …) We made the strongest representations to the Sunday Times about their despicable way of exposing a couple of your committee. Please forgive us. Please do not judge us on the basis of investigative journalism. Please, please, please do not watch 'Panorama' (assuming the Beeb have the balls to broadcast it) and please give us the World Cup so we can all make shed loads of cash - I mean, have a wonderful competition."
They know who and what they are dealing with. FIFA are a deeply corrupt organisation. Big Football is rotten through and through. Check www.transparencyinsport.org for further details. Andrew Jennings has exposed the way FIFA does business and is barred from FIFA press conferences. To suggest that there are one or two rotten apples when the whole orchard is crawling with maggots gives a new meaning to 'rose-tinted.'
Every time you think big football cannot get any worse along comes another pair of slimy self-serving toadying toe-rags to prove you wrong.
