Like many football fans, I was well aware of FIFA’s duplicity regarding internal couruption before the BBC Panorama programe was aired earlier this year, which didn’t help England’s chances of hosting the 2018 World Cup.
But I feel it didn’t damage them either.
It’s a real shame the full extent of FIFA’s role of indifference over Jack Warner and Mohamed Bin Hammam has been laid bare by a leaked report.
The ethics committee inquiry over the scandal, ordered by FIFA, has left no stone unturned and it’s just as well Warner has quit all his international posts.
Mr Warner will still get a pension from FIFA that’s believed to be almost £23,000.00 a year for life.
Many of us don't even get a yearly salary, much less a pension of that amount!
Warner may be old but the rest of us will have to hope our numbers in the Euro Lottery come up to live off money like that!
Right now, I’m thinking of the ABBA song, Money Money Money - probably the best way for the rest of us to be a millionare is to marry one!

I also want to say congrats to the Northern Ireland pro Roy McIlroy for his win in the 111th US Open Championship.
The reaction of his home town supporters was enthusiastic.
