Andrew Jennings Knihy

V knize FAUL! se Andrew Jennings, přední světový investigativní sportovní novinář, zabývá fungováním organizace FIFA a odhaluje řadu nekalých praktik. Tikající časovaná bomba v bankovních záznamech FIFA. Jak byli přední sportovní funkcionáři nuceni obrátit kapsy naruby a vrátit úplatky? Co je pravdy na pověstech o zmanipulovaném hlasování výkonného výboru FIFA? Pozoruhodný případ výdajů na prezidentovu kampaň. Jak fotbaloví funkcionáři přinutili vetché starce Nelsona Mandelu a Desmonda Tutua cestovat tisíce kilometrů a podřídit se FIFA. Viceprezident FIFA, který tvrdí, že židovští rozhodčí na svou práci nestačí. Přidělování lukrativních zakázek lidem, kteří mají styky ve FIFA. Tvrdý boj o moc, kvůli němuž hrozí rozkol FIFA. Od září 2005 FIFA a její prezident Sepp Blatter tajně naléhali na švýcarský soud, aby zamezil vydání knihy FAUL!, a to s pomocí výhrůžek, že nakladatel i autor mohou zaplatit pokutu nebo skončit ve vězení. Návrh na zákaz vydání byl zamítnut a FIFA a prezident Blatter se odvolali. Proč se FIFA ze všech sil snažila zabránit, aby se kniha dostala čtenářům do rukou?

Kniha, kterou lze považovat za definitivní portrét úpadku FIFA a mužů, kteří ukradli fotbal. Ve své nejnovější knize Špinavá hra britský investigativní novinář Andrew Jennings, který proslul jako neúnavný kritik poměrů v zákulisí mezinárodního sportu, odhaluje šokující rozměry korupce a podvodů v nejvyšších patrech světového fotbalu. Své poznatky prezentoval i v prestižním pořadu televize BBC Panorama a zásadním způsobem přispěl k největšímu zemětřesení v Mezinárodní fotbalové federaci (FIFA) za více než sto let její existence. V téměř detektivní story, která by se mohla jmenovat „Blattříčku, zavírej vrátka“, Jennings rozkryl mafiánské způsoby fotbalových šéfů, podrobně popsal jejich zločiny a důkazy o nich předal americké FBI. Další vyšetřování pak vedlo k zatčení několika členů výkonného výboru FIFA a rezignaci prezidenta Seppa Blattera. Poutavé vyprávění zkušeného žurnalisty se opírá o léta rešerší i práce v terénu, při níž objevil řadu dosud nezveřejněných dokumentů.
