Erst die Wahrheit über Korruption, dann war alles nicht so gemeint!
Kaum jemand wurde in so kurzer Zeit von allen seinen Ämtern enthoben, weil er laut sagte, was alle denken. Um seine hohe Abfindung zu verdienen, ist er jetzt zurückgerudert und gibt sich der Lächerlichkeit preis und sagt: alles nicht so gemeint!
Goodbye England oder: Ärger mit der Ex
Dumm gelaufen für England.
Am Freitag wurden mit großem Brimborium in Zürich die Bewerber-Dokumente der WM-Interessenten
2018/2022 an FIFA-Boss Sepp Blatter und seinen Generalsekretär Valcke übergeben. England, mit David Beckham im Home of FIFA
Denn dummerweise hat Lord David Triesman
Zum Nachlesen:
‘My assumption is that the Latin Americans, although they’ve not said so, will vote for Spain. And if Spain drop out, because Spain are looking for help from the Russians to help bribe the referees in the World Cup, their votes may then switch to Russia.’
At this point, Miss Jacobs asks: ‘Would Russia help them with that?’
Lord Triesman: ‘Oh, I think Russia will cut deals.’
Miss Jacobs: ‘Why will Russia help? Are Russia in the World Cup?’
Lord Triesman: ‘No, they’re not.’
Miss Jacobs: ‘Oh no they’re not, they’ve got nothing to lose?’
Lord Triesman: ‘Absolutely nothing at all to lose. Exactly.’
Zum Nachhören:
Was lernen wir daraus? Mann sollte die Ex schon mal fragen, ob sie nicht zufällig ihr iPhone auf Aufnahme gestellt hat, wenn Mann mit heißen Insider-Geschichten angibt.
- Die komplette Story der Mail on Sunday: “Lord Triesman quits as FA chairman after accusing Spain and Russia of trying to bribe World Cup referees
Es ging beeindruckend schnell (anders als gewöhnlich beim DFB): Lord Triesman ist die längste Zeit FA- und Bewerbungschef gewesen. Warum eigentlich? Gegen welchen Paragrafen des abenteuerlichen FIFA-Ethikcodes hat er verstoßen?Die FA teilt mit
The FA Board today met at Wembley Stadium to discuss allegations published in a national newspaper which have been attributed to The FA and England’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Bid Chairman Lord Triesman.
After fully discussing and considering the alleged comments with Lord Triesman, The FA Board accepted his resignation as FA Chairman and Chairman of the World Cup Bid Board with immediate effect.
Lord Triesman said: “I have decided to resign as chairman of The FA and the 2018 Bid board.
“A private conversation with someone whom I thought to be a friend was taped without my knowledge and passed to a national newspaper. That same friend has also chosen to greatly exaggerate the extent of our friendship.
“In that conversation I commentated on speculation circulating about conspiracies around the World. Those comments were never intended to be taken seriously as indeed is the case with many private conversations.
“The views expressed were not the views of the 2018 Bid board or the FA. Nobody should be under any misapprehension that The FA or 2018 Bid board are disrespectful of other nations or FIFA and I regret any such inference that may have been drawn from what has been reported.
“Entrapment especially by a friend is an unpleasant experience both for my family and me but it leaves me with no alternative but to resign. I have immediately informed The FA Board of my decision.
“I have enjoyed hugely my time at The FA and the Bid and feel I accomplished a great deal in areas I love – qualification for the World Cup in South Africa, healthy growth in grass roots, women’s and disability football, and changes in the representation of fans who are the lifeblood of English football and the involvement of our diverse communities. The 2018 FIFA World Cup Bid has made enormous progress both around the world and in the technical bid in England. I wish everyone associated with FA all the very best for what is a very exciting future for the game we all love.”
The FA Board have today appointed Board members David Sheepshanks (Chairman of the Professional Game Board) and Roger Burden (Chairman of the National Game Board) as joint acting Chairmen of The FA.
Vice-Chairman Barry Bright will take on the role of acting Chairman of The FA Council and will chair this week’s AGM.
Speaking on behalf of all the Board Barry Bright said: “The Football Association would like to thank Lord Triesman for his efforts over the past two and a half years as the first independent Chairman of The FA. The Board expressed its considerable regret at the circumstances of his departure and wish him and his family well for the future”.
The FA Board also gave its unanimous support to the World Cup Bid and is working with the Bid Board to plan the most effective way forward.
Der erste Nachtrag, 22.53 Uhr: Ich habe es geahnt, dass diese Geschichte noch viele lustige Pointen generieren wird. Die nächste lautet: Lord Coe, der beurlaubte Ethik-Chef, kehrt in FIFA-Gefilde zurück! Gerade meldet insidethegames
Coe , now the chairman of London 2012, is due to speak to FIFA President Sepp Blatter tomorrow to try to begin to repair the damage caused by Triesman’s comments, he told insidethegames.
