He's been there longer than Mugabe.

He’s 75

I thought he was older but haven’t the PFA been described as unfit for purpose recently

Just read that he has contributed £500k to the players charity fund

Qatar's defense is quite simple. Please demonstrate a single world cup that was NOT awarded on the back of bribes.

Like the Olympics, the world cup is awarded to the country that would provide the largest financial benefit, for the country's development, the companies involved to profit and the decision makers.

I could tell you some very interesting stories about the UKs bid for the 2012 Olympics and those that profited significantly from it.

Old but good critique of Jack Warner through the ages, and of the FA taking the England team to Trinidad & Tobago to get their support, with Warner's hand in the till again.

A day since the indictments published, and no reaction from FIFA , Quatar et al - maybe hoping people wont notice in the coronavirus situation.

B... B... But, something something, rich club, something something, spend more money something.

I thought this was a bit glib….

Commercial revenue increased at 10 Premier League clubs, led by #EFC £35m (once-off £30m USM payment for stadium naming rights option), #AFC £31m (new deals with Emirates and Adidas), #LFC £29m (sponsorship and merchandising uplift) and #THFC £26m (new stadium).

The amount of increases in sponsorship we had during this period shouldn’t be overlooked. Our whole commercial side has been being supercharged in recent seasons. To just say “new stadium” is a bit of a whitewash job.
