Boris' message to FIFA. Well its a start!

Floyd MontanaFloyd Montana
edited December 2010 in Other Football and Sports
Boris Johnson has withdrawn the offer of a free stay in London's exclusive Dorchester hotel for Fifa executives during the 2012 Olympics.

The Mayor of London had offered the free accommodation for Fifa president Sepp Blatter and his team.

But after Fifa's decision on Thursday's 2018 World Cup vote - which saw the England bid get just two votes out of a possible 22 - the offer was rescinded.

    Boris Johnson is a desperate prick. An incompetent, verbally flatulent over privileged village idiot. He will do anything to curry favour, to deflect attention away from his failure. This is utter bollocks.

    Utterly despise the man. He's turned the office of the mayor of London into an irrelevant circus. He has wasted millions of pounds on one crap idea after another. But that's OK... because he's "funny".

    And he did good for London in my opinion.

    Also I also welcome Boris's token slap on FIFA. I quite like him, but he is not his own man like Ken. He does what Dave tell him to do.

    So we tried to bribe them with free hotel rooms. They didn't go for it, so we've re-called our favours. Absolutely pathetic.

    Nope, I think Stig pretty much sums it up. Boris makes us look even more pathetic, well done village idiot.

    Say what?
    Probably the least party liner Mayor London has had.
    Dont forget who gives the city its cash. You dont bite the hand that feeds you. What would you do?
    And more importantly what would be the effects on our city budget if we took your line?

    Boris is a witty clever man who no doubt is good company. His politics or lack of them makes him a really crap mayor. Would have Ken over Boris as mayor anytime.

    Sigh. Shuffles away from another possibly humourous thread hi jacked by someone ''speaking their mind'' whilst taking care to put nothing of substance or any sensible development of discussion in their post.

    Well, I've gone back and read it again, and I wouldn't alter one word of my original post. Please tell me what you think I haven't grasped, I'd love to know.

    Whatever one's thoughts of Boris are (and mine are not particularly favourable) this is clearly the right thing to do.

    FIFA has established itself as above governments. Look how it suspends associations where there is government interference. In Kenya, where I live, the Kenyan Football Federation (or whatever it calls itself) is a basket case. Cash disappears and they refuse to publish accounts in contravention of their articles of association. Yet the government is powerless to intervene because of threats from FIFA, who support the local officials. So you have a situation where the local officials run the sport badly but stay in power by some mutual backscratching arrangement with FIFA.

    I am all in favour of any gesture, however small, that starts to cut FIFA down to size.
