He should've let Nottingham Forest play in EPL this season at least 
Yeah the Platini thing is a load of rubbish, there are a lot of people in England who think Platini hates 'us', ie English people/football, when really he just hates the money factor of the PL, probably because UEFA don't get a slice...
Holloway probably doesn't even know the difference between UEFA and FIFA.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter wants to ensure his organization is free of corruption after scandals surrounding the World Cup hosting votes, and intends to establish a new committee with outside members to monitor the governing body.
Blatter told Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung that an independent anti-corruption committee would improve FIFA’s credibility.
“I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at FIFA,” Blatter said.

Bin Hammam will be the next FIFA president, with Prince Ali as his sidekick. FIFA stopped being a governing body a long time ago, it's just a business now, associations should break away.
FIFA is not football, just a leech on it's ass. They can't do without football. The other way around, no problem.

The stupidest thing about this is that at no point did Qatar propose a winter World Cup as part of their bid, yet it now looks like a reality it will happen then.
So basically they totally ignored the actual bids and just wanted to hand it to whoever promises them the most, probably in terms of money.
But then we knew that anyway really, didn't we?
BTW there is a Winter Olympics in 2022.

Depends on what you mean by "best bid". If you mean , the most money to throw at technology, stadiums, infrastructure, etc. Bringing major football to a part of the world that rarely sees it and hardly qualifies more than a single team for the World Cup. Yes then Qatar had the best bid.
If you consider things like revenue for Fifa, match attendance, expansion of footie in a major market, amount of pressure (lack there of) on building new stadiums, hospitality services, etc. The the US had the best bid.
If Qatar 2022 goes as planned, it's going to be cool as in space-age futuristic cool.
The USA was a less risky and more certain bid, but as we've seen with South Africa the more risky bids can impress. Just need to make sure they test the ball next time.
Brazil 2014 should be interesting, considering they're already having difficulties.
