FIFA want an easy life and a big profit so are going to give it to countrys where they can call the shots and don't have to worry about red tape. Russia and probably more so Quatar will bend over backwards to do whatever they want.

If FIFA say they want to demolish a village to build a 100,000 seater stadium then Russia and Quatar will have it done in no time, here not so much.

Also the authorities here are making cutbacks so don't want the extra work.

Only reason I wanted the world cup here as it's probably our only chance of qualifying.

i heard the england bid would've have generated a tidy sum. But as shown by the panarama documentary its how many coins to shove in their pockets that counts. Not even a thank you from sepp blatter for uncovering the cash for votes scandal.

Then again its the same moron that doesnt believe in goal line technology. Dinosaurs are extinct for a reason !

Dunno about that. The Gov't cuts to the Police have put an absolute freeze on recruitment, at least in GMP.

Some of us - bikers - have been given a gypsies warning that we'll be sent to London for the Olympics. Looking forward to that!

At least some of the officials will get nice fat brown envelopes stuffed full of dirty cash from the russian contingent (allegedly).

I think it's pretty much a given that police from all over the UK will be having leave cancelled for that month and shipped down to a nice dirty eTap hotel for a couple of weeks.

It's going to be a proper target for an attack too no doubt. Rather you than me.

Time for a nice UK bike trip if you ask me, as the rest of the country will be pretty quite I imagine unless your within 25 miles of the M25.

someone slap me i agree with boris (and what he says makes sence)
