dunno. Wouldn't it have been better to have won the bid, without paying bribes
rather than withdrawing and leaving the context only open to those willing to pay them?
With hindsight it might have been the best option. But the FA weren't to know it was all going to come to a head shortly afterwards. This has probably been going on for years - should we have never tried to host anything?
