FIFA - How did they ever get into that state

[R1Geezer]

Most of the top flight football in the world is played in Europe but there are very few European members running things. Why does Europe tolerate this corrupt disgusting organisation? Why do the sport sponsors tolerate this? It's run like a TPLAC F_F_S! Why don't UEFA just break away with any one who'll come and form their own world body, FIFA would quickly be abandoned and Blatter and co would have no toys to play with.

Football is all about money these days and where there's money, there's usually corruption. The whole thing is a complete shambles.

Time for younger heads and fresh blood....a cull at the top of FIFa's organisation is well overdue.... and while they are at it the IOC needs sorting too

[bazwillrun]

I can think of one good reason why others dont break away...they are being handed brown envelopes containing thousands of reasons why it would be in their interest to stay in FIFA

FIFA has been very successful. It has quickly dealt with the bribery allegations and suspended members, you cannot expect anymore than that. Perhaps Blatter has been exonerated because he has done nothing wrong.

If anything needs shaking up, it's the English FA, they are a shambles.
