No.Is football the most corrupt organisation in the world?
This is not worrying. It's been like this for decades.Is football the most corrupt organisation in the world?
Indeed. One day some club is bound to form a strategic partnership with the Saudi government.With all the ethics tossed out of footballs top body it is a matter of time the saudis enter football soon as well.
That's its front.No.
Football is a sport.
I think you confuse what others think with what someone who don’t think think. It’s more like this: owner investigated for corruption + position in body incestigating corrupt owners = conflict of interest.Knee jerk reaction because people here think like: arab name + high position = corruption.
The committee already had David Gill - this guy replaces Ivan Gazidis.. Was there no conflict of interest before?
No big deal. The Saudis have entered loads of businesses. Social media apps, startups, electronic products and stuff we use on a daily basis already have Saudi investments in one way or another.With all the ethics tossed out of footballs top body it is a matter of time the saudis enter football soon as well.
I love football, but somehow i hope it will die out anytime in future. It can't be how it is these days. Many fans will turn their back on this sport.Is football the most corrupt organisation in the world?
What the feck? Nothing to do with where he’s from or his skin colour, more to do with the fact him and his club have quite clearly never given a feck about Uefas FFP rules and don’t care who knows it. They got a pitiful punishment from uefa for it and now he’s got a job there, it stinks.Knee jerk reaction because people here think like: arab name + high position = corruption.

Can influence investigations too I think.What the feck?

This is a story from the Onion right?
This has been said for years though yet here we are with ever increasing TV deals, attendances and transfers. Fans are too loyal to walk away that’s the major issue here.I love football, but somehow i hope it will die out anytime in future. It can't be how it is these days.

I have always considered PSG and City as welcome clubs in the European competitive landscape.I love football, but somehow i hope it will die out anytime in future. It can't be how it is these days. Many fans will turn their back on this sport.
For example, PSG has excellent relationship with Celtic Glasgow: Osdonne Edouard has been loaned and then sold to Celtic Glasgow, and Weah has also been loaned this winter.Well, he's being elected by ECA, so, yeah, it's the big european clubs he bribed, not UEFA
I would have no issue to pick him either if he pays me 7 digits.The thing that I don't get about this outrage is that the ECA picked him, the biggest clubs on earth picked him to represent them at UEFA level. I find it very difficult to be outraged when the clubs and their executives have no issue with El Khelaifi.
Then you are the problem. The ECA only care about sustainability, they don't give a damn about sugar daddies and who signs the cheques as long as commitments are fulfilled and that debts aren't left by owners. In the end @Revan is right, there is a divide between what people imagine and what clubs actually want.I would have no issue to pick him either if he pays me 7 digits.
The worry there would be the super league plans. But of course, a lot of the big clubs must be looking at ways to challenge the City/PSG corruption model.I wonder how easy it would be for all the big clubs to walk away and make their own competition. UEFA and FIFA seem have more powers than government.
Shameless
How are they not accountable?. Can we get the EU on it?
Agree. If PSG and City start to dominate I can see the others walking away. It's not like they're a major part of the European football story are they?!The worry there would be the super league plans. But of course, a lot of the big clubs must be looking at ways to challenge the City/PSG corruption model.
Think this is maybe where things need to be addressed:
PSG were a pretty big European club in the 80s and 90s, a super league would be done through the biggest member of the ECA who are the ones that named Al Khelaifi as their representant. If the big clubs organize a super league PSG and City will be in it without the beginning of a doubt.Agree. If PSG and City start to dominate I can see the others walking away. It's not like they're a major part of the European football story are they?!
Stade de Reims reached two times the final of the European Cup in the 1950s.Agree. If PSG and City start to dominate I can see the others walking away. It's not like they're a major part of the European football story are they?!
What?Instant impact.
