You've got love Fifa and it operates. The U.S. Attorney General opens an investigation for bribery and corruption involving football's governing body which leads to criminal indictments against 12 Fifa officials and the resignation of the it's top three officials and the President of UEFA. Fifa pledging to reform constitutes several oversight committees which are meant, not only to reform how Fifa operates but give the governing body more transparency. On Friday that all was thrown into chaos when members of Fifa's Congress voted to give the governing council the right to dismiss members of the independent committees. Yes, Fifa always willing to shoot itself in the foot at every opportunity.
Domenico Scala, Fifa's head of auditing and compliance, has resigned in protest at reforms at the governing body of world football.
Scala is angry the new Fifa council will have the ability to appoint and sack those in charge of its committees, including auditing, ethics and finance.
The council replaced the Fifa executive committee, in the aftermath of a corruption scandal at the organisation.
Committees had been "deprived of their independence", said Scala.
Swiss official Scala, who has resigned with immediate effect, said the new reforms made it possible for the council to "impede investigations against single members at any time".
