This guy is still sitting and waiting to see what happens, and if he's really needed before he steps into the media whirlwind. He wants FIFA to agree to provide him with a kinda of witness protection/relocation program first.

Meanwhile, FIFA says a witness who could back up newspaper claims that Qatar 2022 paid $1.5m to two executive committee members made “unacceptable demands” about giving evidence in person.

FIFA have agreed to move the venue of the interviews with those Caribbean Football Union (CFU) members who refused to travel to Miami but Warner will not be among those quizzed by investigators.

''The Barbados Football Association was made aware that the trip and accommodation were sponsored by Mohamed Bin Hamman under the auspices of the CFU. The BFA did not and does not see this as akin to bribery or any inducements as in the past trips by Caribbean delegates to meetings have been sponsored by the organisation and agency that wanted to put on the programme.''

Yep, all business expenses are usually reimbursed in cash, in american currency at the end of a meeting with a promise to "reimburse" more cash after the FIFA vote was concluded. I'm sure the cash came with a receipt they can produce with a date and two signatures on it. I'm sure they then gave that bundle of american cash right to there federation to convert the currency (and paid the fees on that conversion) who then deposited it into their federation account as soon as they returned from the meeting. Customs really likes business conducted in that style.

Maybe the decisions to approve this method of "reimbursement" proves Bin Hammam and the Caribbean nation leaders are not fit to be leaders of their federations and surly not as FIFA president. They obviously don't know how international business is normally conducted and if this is their story they obviously don't have the correct skills to be in charge of handling money.

Bin Hammam would have done a great job with all of FIFA's money transactions with this kind of "reimbursement" method policy.

NOT, the "SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM".

"We have received notice that the requested interviews will now be conducted in the Bahamas as opposed to the United States of America," said Jamaican Burrell.

"This event has dragged on for too long, many have suffered and many will continue to suffer. And so the Union is unified in its position that in the interest of this game, we have agreed to attend the interviews at dates convenient to our respective members."

Suspended CONCACAF acting president Lisle Austin has decided to co-operate with investigations conducted by the FIFA ethics committee

http://www.insideworldfootball.biz/world...bribery-scandal

June 13 - At least four more Caribbean countries have admitted they were offered thousands of dollars in cash as the plot thickens into the most explosive bribery scandal in the history of FIFA.

"It could be as many as six."

The countries concerned are not being named but follow last week's frank admission by Louis Giskus, President of Surinam's soccer association...

"Our constitution says no cash gifts, zero," one high-ranking CONCACAF source told.

From May 30, 2011 nothing new yet, but...

Qatar's government-backed 2022 World Cup bid is threatening legal action against Fifa's general secretary, Jérôme Valcke, over his claims that it "bought" the World Cup.

Where is there so called action? Are they just all talk, and no show?

Come on... Come on... Come on, take the bait little fish (Qatar).

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/14/fifa-bring-back-unity-concacaf

"We believe it is important that as acting president, but also the Concacaf executive committee and all relevant Concacaf bodies, now focus on bringing back unity to Concacaf," stated Valcke. "It goes without saying that Fifa is at your and Concacaf's disposal should you need any assistance or advice."

Valcke accepted the move to remove Austin was valid but also reminded the confederation that the Barbadian should be given the chance to appeal, even though he has been warned by the Concacaf lawyer against taking court action. Austin has a Concacaf hearing scheduled for 13 July.

Come on... Come on... Come on...
