I'm hoping the new president has a mandate to clear out corruption. What better way than to reset the 2022 bidding. If Blatter had followed normal procedure bidding wouldn't happen until 2016 anyway.Keehnelf wrote:I think it would take a huge amount of further change in a short window for that to happen, but I appreciate your optimism

Agreed--I just think even a strong new prez will take time to get to the point of being able to effectively reset the process. Probably longer than is realistically available. On the plus side, that would free the new person to focus even more energy on internal work and rebuilding confidence in the world football community.

Whoops! Somehow in the last day or two we passed 12,000 total posts without me realizing! I had even been trying to keep an eye on it!
Here's a lore tidbit to chew on to celebrate!
Though Fangir Firedeep's father was the last member of the family to hold the reins of power, Fangir's great-grandfather was the last of his line to bear the family's royal trappings and relics. Those were sealed in the chamber protected by the Thrice-Locked Door at the time of Fangir's great-grandfather's death and have not been seen since.

There is a Canada Day? We call that the day before, the day before, the day before the 4th of July. Everybody still takes the day off, though.
