A rather damning indictment of international football.

FIFA have appointed Sir Seb Coe as the first independent chairman of their new Ethics Commission. Sepp Blatter’s comment on the appointment is telling:

He has total integrity and will have total independence. To have someone from outside of football means he has no links with the football family and he has an ethical approach to sport.

(emphasis mine)

Of course, this committee will not be investigating The Beautiful Bung. No, that’s a existing investigation and perhaps a little too close to Mr Blatter to allow an outsider to look into…
