Franz Beckenbauer denies an agreement with Jack Warner over the 2006 World Cup bid but says he will "sign anything" from someone he trusts.
Franz Beckenbauer says he was unaware of any impropriety during the World Cup bidding process, claiming "if I trust someone, I'll sign anything".
Acting German Football Association (DFB) chief Rainer Koch accused the former West Germany captain of agreeing a deal with disgraced former CONCACAF president Jack Warner, in which "various services" were allegedly promised in return for support in Germany's World Cup bid.
Beckenbauer has denied that any such formal agreement was put in place during meetings intended to drum up some public support for their 2006 bid, though he went on to claim he has rarely given official contracts proper scrutiny in previous business dealings.
