"The Shiekh", again.

Day -980. ‪WorldCup2018‬.

More about Sheikh Ahmad Fahad al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who seems to have burst onto the scene as somebody who makes things happen in the world of sport, including football. How positive is this involvement? Very, if you ask Sepp Blatter and Vladimir Putin. Which for the majority of the rest of the world is not a very good thing.

This is from The Guardian, on the subject of Putin questioning the reasons for the American-led investigation into Fifa. The Shiekh has his opinion and it leaves no doubt as to who's side he is on:
“Is it because they want to kill Fifa? Is it because they didn’t win the election?Is it related to the Ukraine-Russian war? A lot of questions [have been] raised. Maybe not a lot of people can say it.” 







The Sheikh endorsed Blatter for re-election this year: “He is the best from the names we are seeing on the list.”
