So your suggesting they change something so they miss out on the opportunity to get themselves kick backs and bribes from the bidding nations??
Quite naïve to think they are that stupid
nope.
they get paid to extort the maximum amount of money possible, it just goes through the front door.
the top of the tree aint the ones getting the small time bribes anyway.
Sepp and the boiz are still getting theirs. dont you worry.
Well it's about ****ing time

If true, this leaves the decks clear for us to get 2026.

I'd love to go to a Holland/ Belgium World Cup
Hope they keep it in Russia just to piss everyone off.
As if Putin is gonna let these fools walk all over him and take it off Russia
that won't happen.
FIFA aint getting told what to do.
they will promise to clean up their act.
rinse/repeat.
See, here is where FIFA is going wrong.
All they are doing is selling the WC to the highest bidder. Its their property, they should be able to. But by trying to disguise it as a 'fair contest for the good of the game and humanity in general' it means that host countries are paying off the Exco instead of giving it to FIFA instead.
they should be like the NFL

See they demand all the same graft but do it up front so theres no confusion (i love the bit about being except from any state and local tax). Let alone their stadiums being taxpayer funded in the first place. The NFL is the worst organisation in the world but because they are so open about it no one gives a toss.
and look, even our own NRL is charging the NSW state govt (us taxpayers) $5m per year just for the right to host the NRL grand final, once again in taxpayer funded stadiums.
anyone shocked that a big organisation that attracts a lot of money is somehow infested with corruption and greed really needs to get out more often.
its just the way it all is.
as far as i'm aware, nfl stadiums are not funded by tax payers.
most new ones are.
they are given "tax credits" which essentially means the team owners don't have to pay state duties on the process and a lot of day to day running costs.
it deprives the state of income so therefore considered taxpayer funded (yes semantics but thats how the yanks describe it).
Amongst other things San Francisco taxed hotels in order to raise over $100m for the 49ers new stadium.
The NFL puts the heavy on cities to fund them or else they move the team away. At the moment St Louis, Minnesota, San Diego, Oakland are just a couple trying to get new stadiums done and are all pretty much threatening to move to Los Angeles if the locals don't pony up.
There was a massive blowup about the Giants/Jets stadium in New Jersey too.

well there you go
actually not having a go, but heres a better picture of the levels of funding
https://cbsminnesota.files.wordpress...ry-12-2-11.pdf
isn't the olympic stadium privately owned? i'm guessing it was publicly built. how /when did the transfer take place?
we will loose
Am positive it's still owned by the State but privately managed.
The management rights earn the operators a $5m bottom line apparently.
So let me get this right the State Government have an asset they sold off the management rights to despite them making 5million a year???
Remind me again why I have these ****s saying I can't have this or that in my community that would benefit the whole community as the money ain't there to be spent and they make stupid decisions like that.

Actually i was incorrect in the initial funding of the Olympic Stadium. Heres a great run down of how it was all done.So let me get this right the State Government have an asset they sold off the management rights to despite them making 5million a year???

Now, from the stadium management side of things heres how i have interpreted it (its been in the news lately).
A private firm manages the stadium and have a contract til 2031. In that agreement there are provisions that Parra stadium cannot be redeveloped and the SFS cant be expanded or even have a roof put on it.
with the sale of the 'poles and wires' ('sup 2bobs?) the govt had set aside $400m to be like the AFL and have 2 stadiums for all footy codes to use in sydney. they wanted SFS and Parra but because the olympic stadium can cockblock them the govt now has to pay out the lease agreement to the management company. Then they are free to spend the money on a new 65,000 stadium to replace SFS and build a 40,000 seat stadium in Parramatta/western sydney. there is a big push to also tear down the olympic stadium as it would be of no use.
rumoured buy out price on the lease - $100m.
your tax dollars at work people.
