It would be interesting to see what would happen. England has been poking around but do not think they are really serious about it. We all know the US government will not get involved.
and now this comes out.... CONCACAF: "Today an unauthorized declaration was made by Lisle Austin attempting to remove Chuck Blazer as General Secretary of CONCACAF"
The full CONCACAF statement. http://www.concacaf.com/page/ConfederationDetail/0,,12813~2369780,00.html
Someone posted this on BS, I think it sums up Blazer perfectly. "I have to think this whole ordeal with Blazer getting fired, not getting fired is a dangerous game to play. I kind of feel like Blazer is like that cool RA you had in college. He is only going to do his job if he is forced too, but at the end of the day he knows where all the bodies are, and if need be he will drop the hammer of justice on anyone that threatens his job. I think there are some people in Concacaf that are playing a very dangerous game with Blazer right now because you have to think he was smart enough to put some evidence away if something like this every happened."
snow, what is BS? Definitely a good summary of Blazer. He seems like he knows more than he has said. The next couple of days are going to be interesting.
Been thinking the same thing as everyone else is coming out in the media slinging mud at each other, hes been sitting there smug as can be.
Blazer is/was what, the #2 guy in concacaf? dude has to know a lot/if not all the shady shit that's been going on with Warner
I just saw that John Collins is on the fifa legal committee, so what in the hell was island hopper thinking trying say he shouldn't be hired, then saying to stop any contact with him/firm. Trying to understand all this
Yep definitely should have known that. I have given up trying to understand it. The sub plots in all this is too much to keep up.
Motion to suspend the Presidential election was not approved, 172-17 Blatter has pledged that the entire FIFA Congress (200+ members) will vote on future World Cup's No word on revoting for the 2018 and 2022 WC's
So essentially Blatter is pandering to get reelected, admits there was corruption, but will not have to revote on the WC's. It's all bullshit
Need to move out of CONCACAF and create some 3 country group for just North America. Get 2 WC slots and say sorry Canada each time. This shit is just crazy.
Yeah it's lame to have these little countries get as much power as they do when they really bring nothing to the table as far as money and actual power.
Plus if we could stop playing in their shithole stadiums and countries it would be a lot better for us.
So do we know the nations that didn't vote for Blatter or voted for the election to be postponed? Or is it all private?
Teenagers on Twitter can start revolutions from North Africa to the Middle East, but no one can start a movement to get of this guy. What a shame.
Just like everything with FIFA; it is all private unless they want the information out there. It is starting...... @changeFIFA
The obvious contempt FIFA has for outsiders is amazing. This organization is more corrupt than the mob.
