We were invited to Qatar by the prime minister's office to see new flagship accommodation for low-paid migrant workers - but while gathering additional material for our report, we ended up being thrown into prison for doing our jobs.

I've hoped we'd boycott this FIFA money-grab from the minute it was announced, It would be even better if by 2020 all the high paid PL players had a 'no mid-season release' clause in their contracts.

News like this should be surprising. Sadly it isn't.

FIFA have the power to do something out there but are too scared that it will show them up for being pricks for awarding it to Qatar in the first place.
