Can we call off this joke of Qatar WC now please?
Luckily we have you on here to explain a bit more about what's actually happening!Neither are arrested the difference is that Guéant can refuse to be auditioned while Platini can't. The audition will maybe determine what will happen later.
Not going to happen. If FIFA moved the cup, Qatar would counterattack with lawsuits in Swiss courts. Imagine all the dirt they have on FIFA.Please! Let there be some truth in this and strip Qatar of the WC. Put it in a real footballing country and host it in the SUMMER.
Also an other important point, he was initially supposed to be a witness. The change of status is most likely due to the fact that they don't want him to communicate with other people that are or will be auditioned today.Luckily we have you on here to explain a bit more about what's actually happening!
Sadly this. There is not a cat in hells chance the WC will be moved!Not going to happen. If FIFA moved the cup, Qatar would counterattack with lawsuits in Swiss courts. Imagine all the dirt they have on FIFA.
A couple of fines here and there and it’s all business as usual again.
I think there's abit of envelope which is normal, but perhaps qatar is a bribery on another level.Isn't it de facto known now that the 2006 WC awarded to Germany also happened in a corrupt way? Did anything come out of that after this?
Or Platini just pissed off the other bent bastards by taking a bigger cut than normal. Wouldn't surprise me if him and Blatter decided to take more than they should for coming up with the idea. No honour amongst thieves' and all that.I think there's abit of envelope which is normal, but perhaps qatar is a bribery on another level.
Of course there's tit for tat going along the bidding but i doubt qatar offers more than tits
Yeah something is afoot in the next couple of years and it's quite worrying.Nah. Every host bribed Uefa and Fifa. America and Saudi allies are jumping Iran and Qatar so this is no good news at all.
They'd have to pay us at this point and pay back the Qatar money, and if that money was enough to get arrested over they sure as hell aren't paying it back.Give the World Cup to England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland
Could easily arrange it at short notice with the infrastructure.
Or any combination of European countries really.Give the World Cup to England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland

Hard to believe much of anything in print these days.Fecking hell it's quite concerning they can't even get the basics right. When you read that article in the OP they're adamant he's been arrested, even adding this in the end:
"The report also claims that Claude Gueant, who formerly advised ex-French president Nicolas Sarkozy as Secretary General, has also been taken in for questioning but has not been arrested" - (---> unlike Platini)
I think saudi has something to do with this. Or Qatar's enemy. Those evidence aren't going to show themselves without sophisticated preparation.Or Platini just pissed off the other bent bastards by taking a bigger cut than normal. Wouldn't surprise me if him and Blatter decided to take more than they should for coming up with the idea. No honour amongst thieves' and all that.
The UK has the infrastructure for it, and could host this stuff at the drop of a hatGreat stuff!
Is there still time to fix the 2022 World Cup by moving it to the summer and letting a proper nation host it?
I would be all for it. A World Cup in Qatar will be (and already is) a travesty. The world needs to stop sucking up to these medieval oil nations.The UK has the infrastructure for it, and could host this stuff at the drop of a hat
Agree. Extreme instability, conflict in the Gulf of Hormuz is the only way that they take it away from Qatar.Still thinking it's possible instability in the region will lead to 2022 cup being moved.
Lots of things can go wrong, sanctions, war with Iran and the rest.
Crazy to put the world cup there!
Sadly this. There is not a cat in hells chance the WC will be moved!
Agree no chance it will be "voluntarily" moved.Agree. Extreme instability, conflict in the Gulf of Hormuz is the only way that they take it away from Qatar.
The bribery/human rights angle wouldn’t be enough.
Yep. This is the bit in Goodfellas when Layla starts playing.Hope he rats on all the cnuts.
