FIFA's probe into World Cup bidding which cleared Qatar but criticised England descended into farce as the chief investigator himself challenged the accuracy of the facts in the findings.

US lawyer Michael Garcia said he will lodge an appeal against the decision to clear Qatar and Russia to host the 2022 and 2018 World Cups due to "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts".

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke described the report as ''a joke'' and said the fact Garcia was appealing "made a mockery of the process".

The furore came after the publication of the 42-page findings by German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA's independent ethics committee, which effectively confirmed Qatar and Russia as hosts, stating he would not require the bidding process to be reopened.

Within hours Garcia issued a statement saying: "Today's decision by the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions detailed in the investigatory chamber's report.

"I intend to appeal this decision to the FIFA Appeal Committee."

It is understood Garcia made criticisms in his report about the culture and practices of many of the 24-man FIFA executive committee who chose the World Cup hosts which have not been included in Eckert's report.

Eckert's report does contain embarrassing details of England 2018's attempts to woo disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner which "violated bidding rules" and included securing a job in the UK for a family friend of the controversial football figure.

Dyke said the report had lost any credibility, telling Sky Sports News: ''[Garcia's appeal] makes a mockery of the process.

"'If the person who did the investigation said the report didn't reflect what he believed then I'm a bit shocked by it all, as I'm sure most people are. It's a bit of a joke though, the whole process.

''It's undermined the whole process. If the person doing the investigation is saying 'actually what they're saying isn't what I said', (then) what's the point of it?''

Eckert, who has previously ruled out publishing the Garcia report in full, said any rule breaches by the bidding countries were "of very limited scope", adding: "In particular, the effects of these occurrences on the bidding process as a whole were far from reaching any threshold that would require returning to the bidding process, let alone reopening it."

The findings make unpleasant reading for England 2018's officials as their policy of bending over backwards to accommodate the block of FIFA votes apparently controlled by Warner was exposed.

The report states: "Relevant occurrences included Mr Warner pressing, in 2009 and again in 2010, England's bid team to help a person of interest to him find a part-time job in the UK.

"England 2018's top officials in response not only provided the individual concerned with employment opportunities, but also kept Mr Warner apprised of their efforts as they solicited his support for the bid."

The report states England 2018 also picked up the bill for a £35,000 gala dinner for Caribbean officials, provided "substantial assistance" for a training camp for an under-20 Trinidad and Tobago team in 2009, while Warner also asked for favours for his Trinidad football club 'Joe Public FC'.

The report says: "England's response to Mr Warner's - improper - demands, in at a minimum always seeking to satisfy them in some way, damaged the integrity of the ongoing bidding process. Yet, such damage was again of rather limited extent."

The report also says that Lord Triesman, who was England's bid chairman at the time, would not co-operate with the investigation despite using Parliamentary privilege to make a number of allegations.

The report cleared Qatar of involvement in payments by Mohamed Bin Hammam, the Qatari former FIFA executive committee member who was banned for life by FIFA.

It says Bin Hammam was "distant" from the bid committee and that payments and sweeteners made to Warner and some African officials were more connected with Bin Hammam's challenge to Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency in 2011.

Russia and Australia also came in for some criticism in the report. The Russians failed to provide copies of all their emails from the bid organisation on the basis that their computer equipment has since been scrapped.

Australia also made efforts to woo Warner and Oceania chief Reynald Temarii, including providing money for development projects which end up in Warner's personal account.

The report fails to mention anything however about Spain/Portugal's bid for 2018, which could lead to disciplinary action.

It says: "With regard to one specific bid team however, the report noted that the relevant federation was particularly un-cooperative in responding to the investigatory chamber's requests."

Britain's FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce said the Garcia development increased the case for his report to be published.

Boyce said: "In view of the fact Michael Garcia has now stated he is not happy with the findings and is to appeal, I await with interest to see what further disclosures will be made.

"I have always said as much of the report as it is legally possible to publish should be made public."

Former England 2018 chief operating officer Simon Johnson questioned why the ethics committee had exonerated Qatar.

Johnson told Press Association Sport: "It is a politically-motivated whitewash and I am not sure how we can have confidence in the outcome of this report.

"The headlines today end up being about the England bid when it should be about how it has exonerated Qatar, which has overseen the deaths of hundreds of migrant workers and which has been described by the US government as funding terrorist organisations.

"All these things are being said about England when the investigation was set up around the terrible allegations about corruption involving Qatar."
