Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Champagne, candidate for the 2015 FIFA presidential election:
"We have to some extent went (been) through four difficult years and I think we can take the time, a few more months to finish investigations, to solve the issue of the workers, because that is not acceptable. We still have seven years in front of us until 2022, so we have the time to do things correctly, to know the truth and in particular, to solve the unacceptable situation of poverty exploitation."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Champagne, candidate for the 2015 FIFA presidential election:
"I have been in FIFA all these years, we need to reconcile FIFA and the public opinion, we need also to reconcile FIFA and UEFA. I was in FIFA all these years, we share the same goals, we share the same visions. We should stop that, it is damaging, damaging the game, and I will save no effort working on that. We need also to reconcile FIFA and English football."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jerome Champagne, candidate for the 2015 FIFA presidential election:
"We cannot have a coronation, we cannot have a system where everything will be decided behind closed doors, and I have proposed in London that when a list of the candidates will be known, we will organise a debate in front of the presidents of the 209 FA's, because they need also the make their opinion, they need to make these opinions without instructions coming from anywhere. But also I have proposed that this debate would take place on television. Why ? Because I do believe that if we want to restore this humanity of the game, if we want to preserve this governance, we need also to reconnect with the fans."
