Garcia's criticism prompted a number of key football figures, among them English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke, to call for his original findings, which are contained in a document that runs to several hundred pages, to be published in full.

Those calls were echoed on Friday by Fifa executive committee members Jeffrey Webb and Sunil Gulati.

They claim that the "disagreement" between Eckert and Garcia as well as the need for "complete transparency" means the full report should be made public "as soon as possible".

They added: "Providing the entire independent report for inspection is in the best interest of the game and Fifa."

Despite these pleas, Eckert said he would not take that step.

"I don't think that's possible because I have to respect the rights of confidentiality for continental law," said the German.

"Maybe it's another thing in the US, but in continental law I can't do it, and I can't do it in total even by the Fifa code of ethics. I will not do it."


Hahahahaha. Fifa Code of Ethics. Hahahahahhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

*head falls off

Interesting that FIFA Exec.Committee members are coming on board with this. Could the tide finally be turning against Blatter?

I so hope so

I doubt Blatter will fall, he's got all those small federations tied up. They need him to keep aboard the gravy train.

He also removes all his opponents who dare run against him using ethics compliance as a weapon. That Qatari fella and now some Chilean dude is under investigation. He's a cunt.

It's the only organisation of any kind in the world earning the vast amounts that it does that doesn't have to answer to an independent body, the closest organisation that also doesn't in terms of money earned only earns about 2% what fifa does each year.

When you consider that it's no fucking wonder is to corrupt. Not only that, but it always will be until such a body is forced upon it.

Another good reason to not bother watching international football anymore.

 

[SummerOnions]

Lots of posturing about UEFA boycotting Fifa or something

 

[Judge Jules]

If they follow through on it, a pound to a penny says that's the opening shot in Platini's campaign to replace Blatter.

 

[jexykrodic]

I think there are too many people on the gravy train to see change.

There'll be the usual hand wringing and 'internal investigations' but the office manager will still be stocking up on the brown envelopes come voting time.

David Bernstein says England should boycott the next world cup. Gosh, think of the disruption to first three matches!
