Top Ten Alternative English Dignitaries

Apart from reassuring us that Sepp Blatter is the most corrupt man in football and re-igniting feelings of national embarrassment and failure, the World Cup host bid draw thing also taught us one more important lesson...

...the time of the posterboy dignitary is dead!

Fair play to the Tory, the Toff and the Trophy: at the calling (and cost) of their country – and wearing matches suits and shit-eating grins – they jetted to Zurich to bend the collective (corruptive) arms of these elusive, lunch-loving FIFA Moguls.

And they did smile, and they did look pretty, and it all felt so lovely and unified, BUT THEY ALSO CAME AWAY EMPTY-HANDED and feeling just a LITTLE BIT SILLY.

Hence why Maxim are proposing a new set of dignitaries. The sort that we should be taking the next time around. The sort of people who will take a whole new approach but will still have the country's best interest at heart.

Check 'em out...

Jeremy Paxman

Tactic: Argue them into submission

FACT: There is no better qualified person in the world of broadcast media at getting a proper answer out of a politician than Mr Jeremy Paxman. He will not stop asking until he is answered. And then if he doesn't rate the response, HE'LL ASK AGAIN UNTIL HE DOES!



 
Noel Gallagher

Tactic: Sense them into submission

It's not too long when you're in the presence of Noel that you begin to see everything his way; that's why his borther hates him so much. Because he's normally right. Imagine setting Noel's rhythmic, systematic mind to work on the FIFA delegates. He'd love it.



 
Danny Baker

Tactic: Enthuse them into submission

Is there anyone in the world more into being British than Mr Danny Baker. Whether it's bangers and mash, the lyrics to Jerusalem, Farah cords or queuing in the post office, Danny can think of a reason why it's GREAT.



 
Alan Sugar

Tactic: Point them into submission

"Woah, woah, woah Mr Blatter, I'll do the talking for a bit here if ya don't mind. And I'll promise ya this. [Leans forward, points] As sure as I've got a hole in my bloody arse I'll be walking out of this place with the World Cup under my arm, understand?"



 
     
Prince Philip

Tactic: Offend them into submission

Allow him to polish off the contents of the limo's sherry supply before he arrives and then let him work the room. In ten minutes the reception will be devoid of any competing countries' delegates, and the rest of the team will be free to work their persuasive magic!



 
Martin Amis

Tactic: Stare them into submission

There may not be a better starer on the British Isles than the belligerent author, Martin Amis. After he'd finished staring at Blatter and co he would rip them to metaphorical shreds with his pre-prepared, unhinged and inarguable rhetoric.



 
Lembit Opik

Tactic: Bore them into submission

Meetings with high-ranking delegates are often filled with moments of muted deliberation and analysis. Opik's left cranium wouldn't be able to handle this. He'd spazz out, reach new levels of banality and bore the fuckers into submission.



 
Basil Brush

Tactic: Shout them into submission

He's a good lad is Basil but imagine being in the fella's company for more than 20 minutes; you tape up his gob and burn his brush off, wouldn't you? "Ha ha ha! Boom Boom!" Come on, how brilliant would that sound in FIFA HQ?



 
         
Ant & Dec

Tactic: Nice them into submission

The most tolerant duo on telly, if they can put up with each other for this long they can definitely put up with Blatter and his cronies. Get in our squad ahead of the Chuckle Brothers because of their powers of persuasion. Jungle>Spiders>Models>Mouths anyone?



 
Katie Price

Tactic: Botox them into submission

Those who consider Ms Price stupid, think again: she's a bolshy, savvy, brash Brighton lass who damn-sure knows how to manipulate the media and, more importantly in our case, knows how to GET WHAT SHE WANTS. Seriously, would you mess with her?
