France's National Finance Office (the PNF) are believed to be particularly interested in a lunch organised on November 23, 2010 – 10 days before the awarding of the 2022 World Cup.
The lunch involved Platini, then-French president Nicolas Sarkozy, the current Emir of Qatar Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassem, then-Prime Minister and foreign minister of Qatar.
Platini has claimed of that lunch: 'I knew I was going to vote for Qatar before lunch and I went to see Nicolas Sarkozy to tell him. I did not know that the Qataris would be there.'
He has admitted he first planned to vote for the United States as World Cup hosts before being convinced by Qatar's bid.
Le Monde claim the PNF also want to speak to former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, despite having already questioned him as a witness in April 2017.

what do we think will happen no?

If he didn't know the Qataris were there, would it be easy to assume that it is more than likely he took a backhander to change his vote?

What the hell is going on at Birmingham City, Gary Monk has been sacked after achieving a minor miracle and keeping them up despite a nine point deduction that left them on the edge of the relegation zone.

They really are a bunch of twats.

agreed mate - but wwe have bigger twats at QPR!!

Second atrocious decision in 3yrs, first Rowett and now Monk, the board at birmingham must be completely stupid. You only have to look at Ipswich to see what happens when clubs get over ambitious.
