He was accused of agreeing to vote swapping in the WC vote. And that £777m global football initiative that he would only put forth if SK won the WC bid is kinda sketchy tbh. Why not just impose it without getting the WC? Or at least a version of it that might not be so costly? He claims that its FIFA trying to shut him up since he's so outspoken on Blatter and the ethics committee and wants to clean up FIFA. But that starts to ring hollow when you see that Prince Ali has been equally outspoken on the corruption and Blatter(and opposed him in the last election) and has also been constantly talking about wanting to clean up FIFA yet he hasnt been subjected to an ethics committee investigation.I don't understand what happened with Chung Mong-Joon my understanding was what he was being accused of every other country that bid had done as well so surely representatives from England, USA, Australia, Russia, Qatar etc. should be facing this as well.
Everything I had heard about this guy suggested he was a really good guy. He had been elected as a vice president to FIFA but then started to make some noises about how dodgy some of his colleagues were being so they got rid of him as fast as they could. He really did seem to want to clean FIFA up which I couldn’t say the same for Platini. I also heard he is incredibly successful both in business and politics and seen as honourable although with a few questions about things he did when he was a bit younger.
I may be wrong and he may be as dodgy as the rest of them but it could also be that they found an excuse to get rid of the person that was most likely to completely stop the gravy train that the FIFA exec enjoy.
Also, the ethics committee has investigated Joon in the past too. Wouldnt surprise me if the Garcia report had some info on Joon. Seems they might be coming around to finally accepting the actual report instead of the absurdly edited version that came out.
