New Zealand embarrassed
AUCKLAND Julv 7: Oceania football chief Charlie Dempsey. the man who handed the 2006 World Cup to Ger
many, is to be hauled over the coals after it emerged that he had ignored orders to vote for South Africa.
In rugby-mad New Zealand, where football is derisively known as 'kiss n kick', Dempsey's decision to abstain in Thursday's crucial final vote at FIFA headquarters in Zurich did not go down well.
Sports Minister Trevor Mallard described Dempsey, who is due back here on Saturday, as an "International embarrassment."
Even Prime Minister Helen Clark stuck the boot in. saving she was upset by the result as she had promised New Zealand's support for the South African bid.
Dempsey told New Zealand's TV3 while in transit in Singapore he had been under "unsustainable pressure" when he decided not to vote but would not reveal who he was being pressured by.
I had very strong reasons but I'm not going into them I didn't do it lightly, I don't make decisions lightly.” he said
Mark Burgess. New Zealand's representative on the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), said the Scots-born Dempsey. 78, had not followed instructions given to him at the Confederation's meeting in Samoa in May.
New Zealand Soccer chief executive Bill MacGowan was also adamant Dempsey was told to vote tor England first then South Africa.
this Intentionally to shoot himself In the foot back here." Burgess said Friday.
The vote was a democratic one In Samoa, they still preferred England in the first vote, but on the second the vote was to go to South Africa.
There certainly was no discussion on his abstention, that never entered the thinking at all.
He's going to have to explain himself and based on that. I'm pretty certain there will be some unhappy Island people.
South African bid officials were infuriated by Dempsey's actions.
Bld chairman Irvin Khoza said Dempsey had "betrayed the South African people".
"I do not see how a man can vote In the first two rounds and then not vote in the third and final round. FIFA should investigate this." he added.
Dempsey sought legal advice in New Zealand before releasing a statement saying he would not continue to vote after England were eliminated.
Dempsey said he knew the enormity of' his actions but had no regrets. Had he voted, the final count would have been 12-12. and FIFA president Sepp Blatters casting vote was headed South Africa's way.
"I'm fully aw’are of it." he said. T have no regrets for what 1 did. none whatsoever. There are a lot of people jumping to conclusions. They can jump to them.
"You don't make decisions that 1 made lightly. It wasn't easy."
Dempsey faces a meeting of the OFC in Auckland on Sunday when he will be asked to explain why he did not switch his vote to South Africa after England was eliminated in the second round of voting.
"1 can't believe he has done
"He was given the authority to go and cast a vote and he simply hasn’t done that, which will upset people."
Dempsey's decision could see him sacked from his position at the helm of the OFC.
MacGowan said Dempsey's instructions could not have been clearer.
"We. through our representative on Oceania, told him he had to vote England one. South Africa two." MacGowan said.
OFC general secretary Josephine King, Dempsey's daughter, said he "had his own reasons" for ignoring his instructions.
King said she knew why Dempsey had made his decision but would not elaborate.
TH wait to he comes home to tell the story’ himself.” she said.
Dempsey left Zurich. Switzerland', before Germany was named as hosts. He was due back in New Zealand Saturday.
FIFA spokesman Keith Cooper confirmed Dempsey had warned the voting committee what he planned to do before voting started.
"He said he would abstain in the final round for personal reasons." Cooper said.
South ATrlca made an attempt to remove Dempsey from the presidency of the OFC al a meeting in May. He has headed the federation since it was es-tabbshed in 1964.
"(Dempsey) said he had been accused of bribery and corruption and would not vote again after England were out." Botswana executive committee member Ismail Bhamjee said.
Dempsey was believed to have been one of two executive committee members contacted by former South Africa president Nelson Mandela in the final days of the campaign to ask for support.
