stonedsailor Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/27/several-top-fifa-officials-arrested Why has our game been taken over by tax corrupt lowlife scum? No wonder FIFA's pop magazine is claiming that a dissolved club can re-emerge after cheating and thieving their way into the history books. Time to reclaim the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A vice-president is amongst those charged. Apparently they're being extradited to America to face charges going back 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 That's what they get for trying to suggest that Sevco are the same club as Rangers. One bit of blatant corruption too far. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Have they been RICO'd? If they have then they could be looking at 20 year minimum sentences. Also, not sure if it's been confirmed but have seen it posited Sepp Blatter is Swiss and thus cannot be extradited under Swiss law. Might be a wee saving on the FIFA travel budget if that's the case, although I'm not sure it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
