The Manero Callout

Saudi Arabia are expected to be given the rights to host the 2034 World Cup, whatever happened to the voting rights? That went out of the window with the FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s corruption, a free reign to run rogue, where are the FBI? The former president Sepp Blatter was investigated, a heavy fine was laid bare and a ban from football, Blatter’s co-horts and there were many handcuffed to the prison cell birds, chirpy cheep tweet, Blatter escaped having covered his paper trail, but to stitch up the rest.

The money trail leads to Saudi, rich pickings for Infantino and his motley crew, cronyism, the Manero would challenge Infantino to a debate, he would run shot shy of that. The stadium build has already begun, who needs officialdom, no announcement has to be made on the World Cup hosting rights, there’s no procedural correctness here, Brazen arrogance, all at the expense of migrant construction workers on the stadium build, into the depths of the article to reveal the abuse, the Manero callout. The labour of exploitation, a betrayal of the kingdom’s statements, FIFA to sit alongside.

Labourers (migrant workers) on ten hour shifts in a stifling 45 degree heat for less than two pounds a day, the human cost, the human sacrifice. Work has begun on the named Aramco Stadium in Al Khobar City on the East Coast of Saudi Arabia, to be a 47000 venue, fifteen stadiums are to be constructed entered into the promotional videos headlined ‘A place where communities thrive, family destinations are connecting communities’, heart rending for the construction workers, link to article June 2^nd 2021 ‘Arsene on a Seat, Guitar in Hand’, to be revealed the 2022 Qatar World Cup, lived their dream, now the Saudi’s want their dreams fulfilled, the projected 2034 World Cup at the expense of the migrant workers, the watching world ignores it all, just the spin, the rhetoric, the signal basher of all that’s good in Saudi, the Al Khobar stadium being developed by Aramco, who have become FIFA’s major sponsor estimated to be 100 million pounds a year by the year 2034, the state owned oil giant and most profitable company in the world.

Further down the pipeline of oil dripping into soulless money is another major contractor Six Construct, the Gulf subsidiary of the giant Belgian construction firm Besix, who are operating under no regulation from the Belgium government, the company is trying to stray away from workers rights, no hide on this, the Manero callout. FIFA are not negotiating human rights agreements, modern day slavery, workers are dying at a rate of four a day. At the end of a long scorching day, the construction workers are ferried by bus, the only human service laid on to their squalid rooms with the adjacent stairways strewn with rubbish like prison cells, their meals are cooked in dirty kitchens riddled with infected utensils, from Pakistan to Nepal Bangladesh they arrive to be treated of a sub human nature, the Saudi regime and FIFA do not want the world to see.

On entry to the kingdom, many of the workers were stripped bare of any remaining cash with a four thousand five hundred pounds payment for a work visa and it can take many two years to pay the debt before they start earning, to work free for two years on the dark side of bouncing coins in the driven sands. Employers are holding wages for two weeks and beyond for the debt free workers. To viva Ronaldo and the rest, hang low your heads as the sunset beats down, the driven sands bear down in a whirlwind, betrayed of water, feel those emotions, can you feel the hurt, the pain they endure, you need to put that on your rack of pain and money to shine fraudulent in the kingdom, the 2034 World Cup will glitter to the watching world, but at what cost? The Manero has laid it all bare, the Manero callout.

David’s Golden Quail Eggs

Lauded indeed at the Buckingham Palace bash, David Beckham and plenty of Posh pouting on this calling from Victoria, all spiced up, courtesy of the Spice Girls hit, Who Do You Think You Are, did Tom Cruise parachute in? Oh sorry, that’s James Bond, quails eggs on the menu, or can be known as uzura-tamago, digest that one. The event was lorded for the Emir of Qatar, the state banquet being part of a 2 day state visit, the Beckham’s included, as for the eggs boiled to the King Charles’ perfected egg timer, to be no sulks on those golden eggs.

Time to hit the decks with the ‘Manero Callout’, to have questioned DB on his ambassadorial role for the Qataris during the 2022 World Cup, the Beckham promotional videos while all around are human abuse issues. Beckham for his sins is also the UNICEF ambassador, two roles in opposite modes of the spectrum, how can that be? Either Beckham lives under a rock on planet Mars or Becks does not give a syrup’s wiggle, slap, money becomes the owner. King Charles for his part praised Qatar for their humanity, must be something in those eggs or is it the sausage fingers, time to raise the middle one, oouch, 3 cheers and all that. The in cahoots train rides with freedom, unabashed, will it be mission accomplished for David to be Sir David to be knighted? Sorded, onto cruise control Tom, on that runaway train, the ‘Manero Callout’.

He has a mountain to climb, he has many challenges to face, is he equipped for the position? I would say he is, time and good fortune needs to drop Amorin’s way.

@chestermanero
United did not take note of the rebuild required in 2013. They just went with the flow and expected continued success.

@chestermanero
Managers need to utilise their squads, FIFA and UEFA do not give a syrup’s fig over players welfare.
