HOURS after his suspension, FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has launched a counter-attack against his long-time ally and football boss Sepp Blatter, saying he "has to be stopped".

Addressing members of the media at the lobby of his hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, yesterday, Warner accused Blatter of apportioning FIFA funds for his own political ends in the final two weeks before tomorrow's election.

"I indicated that at the Miami Concacaf Congress on May 3, Mr Blatter made a gift of US$1 million to Concacaf to spend as it deems fit. This annoyed [UEFA] president Michel Platini who was present, and he approached secretary general Jerome Valcke complaining that Blatter had no permission from the finance committee to make this gift, to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter".

"I also indicated...FIFA, through Blatter, organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean, and no objections have been made...to date," he said.

Meanwhile, the same amount of money was said to have been given out by Qatari FIFA executive Mohamed Bin Hammam during his May 10 meeting with members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain.

Mohamed Bin Hammam and Warner allegedly offered US$40,000 to several CFU members to get votes for Bin Hammam in Wednesday's FIFA election.

However, the Bahamas football association president, Anton Sealey approached general secretary of Concacaf Chuck Blazer, also a FIFA member, after the issue was raised by Fred Lunn, vice-president of the Bahamas FA.

Lunn reported the bribe offer to Sealey, photographed the money and left the meeting, according to a witness statement.

Warner, however, continued to unleash his "tsunami" of events and revealed several confidential e-mails he had with Valcke about Bin Hammam, Blatter and the fact that Qatar was successful in their bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

According to the British media, in an e-mail to the suspended FIFA vice-president, Valcke alleged Qatar had won the right to host the 2022 World Cup unfairly.

Valcke wrote: "For MBH (Mohamed Bin Hammam), I never under stood why he was running. If, really, he thought he had a chance or just being an extreme way to express how much he does not like anymore JSB [the FIFA president Sepp Blatter]. Or he thought you can buy FIFA as they [Qatar] bought the WC."

The e-mail, released by an angry Warner, in the aftermath of his temporary exclusion from all football activity on Sunday, has been confirmed as genuine by Valcke.

However, Valcke later denied he "literally" meant they bought the World Cup after Qatar threatened legal action saying they won the bid legally.

During a news conference to discuss the unravelling of events surrounding the world governing body for football, Blatter became defensive and insisted there was no crisis in FIFA but only "some difficulties".

"A unity in solidarity for the next four years—we shall solve the problems if there are any in the congress.

"Crisis, what is a crisis? Football is not in a crisis. We are not in a crisis, only in some difficulties."

Asked by members of the media for a reaction to Warner's statement that he should be "stopped", Blatter said "No reaction".
