Things Go Better With (31/05/11)



Good to see Scotland supporting our neighbours in England.

As the English FA tries, albeit belatedly, to inject some openness and accountability into the world footballing association - FIFA.

The business of electing a new President stinks to high heaven with Sepp Blatter's only rival suspended and allegations of bribery and corruption swirling around delegates from different countries.

So the heat is turning up on the big World Cup sponsors, companies like Coca Cola, Adidas and Emirates Airlines who don't want their hard won reputations to be tarnished.

Let's hope the money men insist on getting a bigger bang for their bucks because the present situation is out of control and will only get worse, if FIFA doesn't mend its ways.

Modern public-facing, organisations should be prepared to act openly and transparently at all times.

If they don't, you know for sure, they have something to hide.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
