Warner has been here before. In 2006 he was found guilty of breaching Fifa's code of ethics over a ticket scandal involving a family firm and the re-sale of tickets for the 2002 World Cup; yet he remained a member of ExCo. There have been regular accusations, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet has pursued him for a number of years with a series of allegations over what amounts to ticket touting, while John McBeth, the former president of the Scottish Football Association, claims that Warner suggested monies paid for a game between Scotland and Trinidad and Tobago be given over to him.
