TBF that isn't that badFifa: Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke & Markus Kattner 'awarded themselves £55m'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36445879
I find it funny when a corporation(which is what FIFA is), makes a $2.6b profit that is a suggestion only 3 guys got a big pay rise what about the dodgy FIFA chairmen that are in charge of their countries FA and clearly happy for a sports body make absurds amount of money.Interesting that this was released by FIFA's lawyers.
Obviously now trying to throw Blatter, Valcke and Kattner under the bus. Don't get me wrong they thoroughly deserve to be under that bus but the idea that the three of them did this on their own is slightly laughable.
I agree but £3.6 million isn't that much in pay rises per yearBear in mind that was £55m in payrises and bonuses, so they had their base pay on top of that.
FIFA is a not for profit organisation, so they shouldn't be making obscene amounts and they definitely aren't comparable with a corporation that has its directors pay voted by the board and ratified by shareholders.......especially if they were just awarding themselves these payawards.
Any money that FIFA make should e directly routed back in to their base cause within a reasonable period of time and they shouldn't be sat on more than about 18 months worth of running costs in the bank.
These are pay rises though not their total pay. How much have they received in total?TBF that isn't that bad
£55m in payrises and bonuses isn't much when you consider that:
Its between 3 people so essentially 18.3m each
Then consider its over 5 years, so its about £3.6m each year
Its absurd but at the same time they are 3 guys in charge of a multi billion pound company and considering during that period they had $2.6billion profit. http://uk.businessinsider.com/fifa-brazil-world-cup-revenue-2015-3?r=US&IR=T
Compare that to other CEO's and you notice there are some companies making big loses still paying their CEO's a huge amount of money in bonuses and etc.
I so want to see them sent to jail. I hope the Swiss throw the book at them.
IIRC Good 'ol Sepp offered Oceania a full WC qualifying spot some years ago if we voted for him to retain the presidency. We did & the promised full spot vanished quicker than a stray cat in a Korean Restaurant district.Reading this piece in the Guardian it stinks. Contracts being offered just before important votes for FIFA president and WC votes. From what FIFA have released it almost looks like they are throwing those 3 to the dogs and hope the authorities settle for that.

No honour amongst thieves. He'll sing like a canary soon enough and then they'll all devour each other. Will be fun to watch.
Me too.Sepp Blatter has claimed to have witnessed draws being fixed via the heating and cooling of balls.

I don't know anything about whether or not the source is a reliable one, but I'm inclined to believe it.
We haven't been watching what we thought we were watching, if you smell what UEFA is cooking.
