If £350m has gone in a year due to an unforeseen situation, then it doesn't sound like an excessive sum for a business to have in reserve?

I’d love to see the breakdown of who got that 350 million It's only a million quid a day, don't worry about it. No corruption within FIFA or EUFA, none at all.... |

How the law hasn’t got involved in this is beyond me yet here we are, post Blatter and seeing figures like this, it really is mind blowing. |

I guess, tbf, if it’s about UEFA then probably little to do with ex-FIFA boss, Blatter. In this case.

Didn't they sell TV rights for a World Cup to one of their own companies for £600,000? Complete joke. wareham is right, two separate entities, but this is what happens when you have unaccountable, self regulating institutions handling huge sums of cash. |

The thread should be titled UEFA and their hopeless judgement. They say that the Allianz Arena can't be lit in rainbow colours when Hungary visit. It would be a political statement apparently. Whilst this is going on PL grounds have massive political banners all over them. Not for the first time, I honestly don't understand the rules we are being asked to play by here.  Attachments:

Who do FIFA and UEFA answer to? Nobody except when they break laws in a country where they operate then the authorities will get involved. They appear unaccountable and are able to bat off any query about money because so many of their 200+ are totally dependent upon the money-train continuing to churn it out. Irrespective of how moral/immoral or legal/illegal it all is. I’m not saying it is illegal, it’s more that nobody gives a monkey were it to be proved to be so.

Yet what happens when a group of clubs try to break away from the present structure?
The establishment and broadcasters with an interest in maintaining the status quo tell us that it would be terrible, and like sheep people take to the streets and protest against it.

Yes, Im afraid football and the right to claim a “moral high ground” disappeared in 1992 when the PL broke away from the 92 FL. Ever since then the PL has protected their place and those outside or the “wannabes” have tried to break into the PL. I guess the only remotely funny part of it was how Tottenham and Everton played major parts in the inception of the PL, expecting to be one of the big 6 and finding that they aren’t, probably won’t be and quietly pretend that they are. No surprises with how anything plays out once that happened. UTG! |

Looks like there is a pretty good reason why UEFA and FIFA are both based in Switzerland. Or Nazimoneylaunderingland, as it sometimes referred to. Is anyone feels that's a bit unfair on the Swiss: www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-01-13-mn-18207-story.htmlSwiss banking industry: has a traditionally 'opaque' nature: taxjustice.net/2021/02/15/some-things-never-change-the-use-of-swiss-banks-by-crooks/) |

I recently read a very big and long book called “I, You, We, Them” by Dan Gretton. It’s from a charitable, probably left wing approach but it was interesting. It was about the wrongs of the world I guess and part of the book was about the role of Switzerland’s banking system and Swiss firms in the Nazi era esp the Union Bank of Switzerland and Credit Suisse. It also detailed the role of firms like Shell, Deutsche Bank, Opel, Renault and Dodge in the Nazi system and how they made money out of the concentration camps. When the author tried to talk about it in the early 2000s they were still refusing to acknowledge their role or profits made. There’s a very uncomfortable under belly of business that profited from the misery of many people yet still refuse to acknowledge it. And as you say there’s a very good reason these bodies are centred in Switzerland. |
