Charlie Dempsey Alleged involved.......

Hmm it's a tough one: FIFA's known rampant corruption vs OFC's known rampant incompetence.

Maybe it was a bit of both. OFC incompetence screwing up someone's attempt to bribe us.

He was effectively in a position where both parties were trying to bribe him

how do we know he was not told by the majority of the board. Seems his word vs OFC and let's be honest, both are about as solid as mud.

Are there any minutes from OFC meetings that could shed some light on this (I know, asking a bit much from a football governing body!)?

I personally think Charlie did more then he let onto with Michael in that interview.

Charlie again gets a mention in the latest story to erupt about how Germany got the rights to stage the WC.

Charlie made front page news of the Mirror here in the UK as part of that.  NZF got a mention too (well SNZ).

The man has the evidence:

The Telegraph London

"Britain was dragged into another scandal when allegations emerged that the Scottish-born former executive Charles Dempsey was paid $250,000 (£163,350) on the eve of the vote that took the 2006 World Cup finals tournament to Germany.

Theo Zwanziger, the former head of the German FA, claimed that a Swiss court document bore out his belief that the late Dempsey, of New Zealand, was paid off a day before abstaining from a ballot Germany won 12-11 against South Africa after England were eliminated."
