Is Jack Warner the most corrupt man in the world?

Post by God is an Englishman »

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9217976.stm
Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has made a scathing attack on the BBC Panorama programme examining the bidding to stage the 2018 World Cup.

The documentary will air three days before the 2 December vote, and Warner said: it was "deliberately designed to negatively impact" on England's bid.

Warner, whose vote is seen as crucial to England's hopes, claims the programme is "a personal vendetta".

The BBC said the programme on 29 November is "in the public interest".

Warner, a government minister in Trinidad, is president of the Concacaf federation covering North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football, and could deliver three of the 22 FIFA executive members' votes to England.

He has been invited to lunch in Zurich by Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of the vote, and David Beckham met him while opening a coaching clinic in Trinidad in September.

Warner, who said last week that he had still to decide which way he would vote, spoke of his dissatisfaction with the Panorama investigation in a vehement e-mail to Press Association Sport.

"I am sure it's a personal vendetta. But it is sooooooooooo stupid... for it can have no effect on me personally or on anyone else in Fifa for that matter."

Warner added that there was no new material in the programme and that he was not losing sleep over it.

BBC Panorama responded by saying: "Panorama has a reputation for strong, independent and probing investigative journalism. The findings of the Panorama investigation into Fifa will be in the public interest."

Last week England 2018 leaders branded the BBC "unpatriotic" for screening the investigation so close to the vote, fearing it will lead to a backlash from Fifa members.

Speaking in June, Warner gives his views on the bid
The furore follows an undercover investigation by the Sunday Times in October in which it was alleged that Fifa members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii asked for money in return for voting on World Cup hosting rights.

Adamu, from Nigeria, was later suspended from all footballing activity by Fifa's Ethics Committee for three years, while Tahitian Temarii received a one-year suspension. Both were also handed fines.

They are now prohibited from taking part in the vote to decide who will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals.

England face competition from Netherlands/Belgium, Russia and Spain/Portugal for the 2018 tournament.

The host of the 2022 contest will also be decided on 2 December, with Australia, Japan, Qatar, South Korea and the United States competing for the rights.

Read it a few years ago.

3 comments on the article though.

Stupid timing from the BBC, then again when has our media ever done us any favours

Note: Warner doesn't deny the allegations, he just says there's nothing new in there.

Note: He hasn't decided who to vote for yet. Of course not, if he does then the bribes stop.

I wonder if the CONACAF's ticket collection will get in the hands of touts again. That would be really dodgy if that happened and surely FIFA wouldn't allow that. I mean it's not as if it has happened before with all the tickets being sold at inflated prices through a travel agency owned by Jack warner's son is it.

I wonder who ol' Jacko boy will vote for 2022? Could it be his own Confederation's, the good ol' boys of da US of A?

Blatter has to admit - it's crazy that FIFA Execs are allowed to vote when it involves a bidding member from their own Confederation.

Sadly, OZ's bid is cactus I fear. Blathering Blatter also is culpable in having 2018 and 2022 decided together. Influential commentators say this was just a ploy by Sepp to influence FIFA well after his presidency is ended.

I completely agree, we should ban any asian representative, any conacaf representative, any oceania rep as well (because australia should be in that zone) and let the decision be made by UEFA, africa and south america.

Imagine in the voting countries were

japan
new zealand
south africa
England
usa
argentina

Would would actually vote? antartica

no, more! Most people have not even heard of the TFFA, if they'd called it champagne I'm sure more people would know of it's existence. It's a bit like flying under 2,000 ft over Aldinga, it stays under the radar.

Jack Warner does it all the time, it's how he flies in to pick up his bribes without anyone realising.
