They're all onboard the same gravy train. If FIFA's way of working gets

and that would not be in their own interests, they've got it good, why rock

shamed into action.

The whole lot needs binning, but it'll probably take a Kerry Packer type to
come in and shake things up with the tacit approval of the rich clubs.
