His comments come in the wake of acting FA chairman Roger Burden withdrawing his application for a permanent post following England’s bid failure citing “the role entails liaising with FIFA and I want nothing more to do with them.”
Despite Baltters insistence that “there is no systematic corruption in FIFA. That is nonsense” adding that “we are financially clean”. Yet he is still unable to explain how Qatar managed to win the hosting of the 2022 World Cup.
However, PR expert Mile Lee who was credited as the brains behind the Qatar win and who also has credits for the London 2012 and Brazil 2016 Olympic bids, claims that the England bid was sub-standard and that appointing “Lord Triesman was not the right choice” as he is was equally unpopular at home and internationally.
