Summary:
"When Sepp Blatter joined FIFA in 1975, it had just 12 employees. 40 years later, the FBI have accused 14 executives of 47 counts of money laundering, racketeering and tax evasion linked to kickbacks totalling more than 150,000,000. There's a fascinating story to be told here: how football got big, how FIFA got corrupt and what this means for soccer fans around the world.
David
Conn
puts the recent uproar in the context of FIFA's history and shows how far the organisation has strayed from its humble beginnings. Covering everything that happened since the scandal broke the FBI's investigation, what happened to Blatter and Platini, enquiries into the 2022 World Cup, the comedy of errors surrounding who should take over the presidency and so on.
Conn
's previous book was called Searching for the Soul of Football he sees this book as an expansion of that book: an inquiry into the soul of soccer on the global scale, as we take stock of this shocking scandal and try to return the original spirit to the beautiful game."--From publisher.
