Anson: Blatter's Domingo idea 'laughable', FIFA reform needed

England 2018 World Cup bid chief Andy Anson has ridiculed FIFA’s handling of this year’s corruption scandal and labelled president Sepp Blatter’s desire to enlist the help of opera star Placido Domingo as “laughable”.

A difficult year for world football’s governing body has seen Mohamed Bin Hammam banned and fellow FIFA member Jack Warner stand down in the wake of bribery allegations while controversy also raged over the decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar.
