On Monday evening BBCs Panorama programme alleged that three FIFA executive committee members of accepting ‘corrupt’ payments and that its vice-president attempted to supply ticket touts.
Since all four men are part of the committee that will vote on the 2018 and 2022 hosts, one would think that England’s chances of hosting the 2018 World Cup were slim indeed.
But an official from England 2018 said yesterday: ‘The BBC’s Panorama did nothing more than rake over a series of historical allegations none of which are relevant to the current bidding process.’
I wouldn’t like to bet on it!
