Revelations ?

Re-reading reporter Andrew Jennings in the post-transmission euphoria of his last Panorama "The Beautiful Bung: Corruption and the World Cup" back in 2006, you'd think the mighty pen had all but won - Sepp Blatter and Jack Warner would be on their way, and FIFA would be cleansed.

Andrew was a "veteran" then, having started back in the 60s on the Sunday Times Insight team, and moving on to World In Action.  All good investigative reporters are obsessive, but it's clear from his website, Transparency in Sport, that over the past four years, Andrew's focus has been more or less entirely on FIFA. 

So the important question about his next Panorama, still due for transmission on Monday, will be "What's new ?" Re-hashes and re-caps of old stuff won't do.  The DG must be convinced it passes the test; so let's hope it delivers.

  • 25 November update: According to Charles Sale in the Mail, Andrew Jennings was still doing interviews for the programme last weekend, talking to Gerry Sutcliffe.
