Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini ban

Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini  ban for eight years

Blatter and platini

Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Uefa president Michel Platini have been suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following an ethics investigation.

They were found guilty of breaches surrounding a £1.3m ($2m) "disloyal payment" made to Platini in 2011.
The Fifa ethics committee found Blatter and Platini had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions.
"I will fight for me and for Fifa," Blatter, 79, said at a news conference.
Why Platini says that  the decision was a "masquerade" intended to "dirty" his name.
Both men continue to deny wrongdoing and intend to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Swiss Blatter and 60-year-old Frenchman Platini have also been fined £33,700 ($50,000) and £54,000 ($80,000) respectively.
Despite the ban, both Blatter and Platini will be allowed to attend matches - including Euro 2016 in France - if they buy tickets in a private capacity.
Fifa boss since 1998, Blatter had already announced he was quitting with a presidential election in February.
Platini was tipped as a future leader of football's world governing body and is a three-time European Footballer of the Year.
He is also a former captain of France and has been in charge of Uefa - European football's governing body - since 2007.

Key point of Fifa ethics statement

• The payment made in February 2011 had "no legal basis" in the contract signed by both men when Platini started working for Blatter on 25 August, 1999.
• Both men's explanation that there was an "oral agreement" over the payment was rejected as "not convincing".
• Blatter's actions did not show "commitment to an ethical attitude", and both men were found to be in "a conflict of interest".
• Platini also failed to act with "complete credibility and integrity" and showed "unawareness of the importance of his duties".
• The committee said there was "not sufficient evidence" to establish the payment was a bribe, but both men demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions.

  As for Sepp Blatter he has already declare that he will resign and election for the new fifa president will be held on February,my question is what will be the faith of platini whom everyone seen to be the next FIFA president..........Stay tune as the story continues,your comment is highly needed and remember to share to your friends........

Andre Ayew Swansea Winger Cries

 

Ayew

 

Swansea winger Andre Ayew has described life at the club as “difficult” since the dismissal of manager Gary Monk.

The English coach was given the boot on Wednesday following a run of poor results, having won just one of his last 11 matches.

Monk succeeded Michael Laudrup in February 2014, and guided the Jacks to their best-ever finish in the topflight last season.

“It’s been a difficult week with Garry’s departure,” Ayew told the club’s official website.
“He had been at the club for so long and done so much for the club.

  It has not been easy i must confess,we're trying to move forward and get the results we needed, and am hopefully that we can get out of this situation soon.”

Ayew was played out of his regular position, leading the line in Saturday’s narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Wilfried Bony scored for the home side on 26 minutes before substitute Bafetimbi Gomis restored parity in the 90th minute. Youngster Kelechi Iheanacho, however, sealed victory for City with an injury time strike.

“I’ve played in a lot of positions, so I can adapt,” Ayew said

“This is the second time I’ve played in this position, and if I play more there, then I’ll get better.

“We have intelligent players who can cope with different positions and formations, so it’s not a problem for us but a challenge.” currently we're sitting on 16th position on the league table
