isn't there an bit of an element of hypocrisy here?
I doubt our FA would be making so much fuss if our bribes had worked?
Not saying it isn't crooked, since it clearly is, but we were apparently happy to play the game when we thought we had a chance of getting something out of it. If we thought the process was that outrageously dodgy we should have pulled out of the bidding.
