This was an interesting if somewhat rambling account of life at CONCACAF where Chuck Blazer totally ruled the roost and used the federation's money as his own personal bank account.
Mel Brennan is an excellent fly on the wall observer of the financial and behavioural abuses that took place and the sycophancy that followed him around.
Jack Warner is also taken apart for his misappropriation of funds intended to pay for sporting fa ileitis for young kids back home.
This is an angry polemic and Mel Brennan who had a bird's eye view of everything that went on is suitably appalled by what he saw and also comes up with his own blueprint for fiscal probity within FIFA.
An interesting read.
