Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

He's RESIGNED!!!!!!!!

"Celebrate good times, come on !"

What a surprise. Not. Should never have stood and just shows that FIFA is rotten at its core.
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

Wonder what's coming out in the news next?....
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

He is still in power though for 4 months as that is the notice period...

If he said 4 days this statement, we wouldn't have him in the first place!

Truely there is a god :)

Qatar and Russia must be doing the 50p-20p at the moment

Sepp genuinely thought he was untouchable
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

I imagine the announcement has come this late in the day as he has been spending the rest of the day so far making sure everything is hidden!

But I don't understand.
He had the support of Vladimir Putin.
It's all meant to be sour grapes by the Americans and Europeans.
My world view is shattered.
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

He's done a deal. No question.

I've never said this before, but. God bless America !!!!

That's when the next election will take place.
But hasn't he resigned with immediate effect? Doesn't a committee take over now?
I'm not getting my hopes up, because his power base hasn't changed, they will more than likely re-elect someone who will continue to support the two bought World Cups and the like.

His speech was on in the car and I thought from listening to it that he intended to remain until the next election.

All those that voted for him look pretty stupid now. Including the French and Spanish.

You can add to these all theAfrican Nations,Asian and all those that wanted photos with him and to shake his hand last Friday. I hope that UEFA French twit does not get voted in. Putin will carry on blaming us and the USA for this. I don't know what can be done about the coming World Cups to change 2018 may not be possible but should be able to look hard and long at 2022

True. Blatter needs to be physically removed from the building by security,
followed by root and branch reform of the entire institution

Unfortunately he still remains in charge. His resignation is not with immediate effect sadly.

My thoughts as well, I can't believe he hasn't got a plan to continue his "legacy" and cover his tracks, no jumping for joy just yet.

Could be there is a "smoking gun" somewhere, maybe the sponsors put the pressure on? something has certainly happened since last Friday.

I know the most likely explanation is that the FBI have found a smoking gun with Blatter's prints on it.

But as an alternative, is it possible that Putin said to Blatter that he (Putin) NEEDS to draw a line under their 2018 Bid, so Blatter must now retire to a private room with a revolver and a bottle of whisky, lock the door and never come out again?

I mean, normally you'd imagine that Blatter would have "buried the bodies" so deep that he might have kept a step ahead even of the FBI.

Whereas now, Russia (and Qatar) can install a replacement who's ostensibly "clean", sack a few more minor FIFA officials, then declare that all is now sorted and hope that some other scandal emerges to catch the world's attention.

I guess the test will be whether Prince Ali now succeeds Blatter.

That is, if Putin hasn't already got to him too... :eek:

To put a very different view forward:- each individual country elects their FIFA representative. How can the President of FIFA refuse to interact with an elected representative who he thinks is corrupt?
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

Could it be that the Swiss Police raid on the FIFA offices has uncovered some evidence in their investigation? That seems to me to be more plausible than the US CONCACAF investigation.

One hour ago the Swiss attorney general (OAG) said Sepp Blatter is not under investigation by Swiss authorities.
They are looking at the awarding of the two World Cup tournaments.

OK, something has turned up since last Friday!
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

Well that's a start. However it seems that corruption penetrates all levels at FIFA - the whole of the Ex Committee, most of the regional Federations, most of the individual FA representatives, at least some of the administrators. Who is going to clean it all up? Even UEFA doesn't have its hands entirely clean. Platini and various individual European FAs are also implicated having voted for Russia and Quatar. Will Blatter try to wangle a stooge into position as his replacement?
We virtually need to start from scratch.

Is Sepp short for septic? Just asking.:)

He got re elected, nipped back to the office, cleaned the hard drives and decided that rather than go to Canada to watch the womens world cup, he'll stay behind and do some shredding.
 

Sepp Blatter and FIFA President Voting

There is a letter that has apparently implicated his deputy, Jerome Valcke, in the South African bid for the World Cup.

Valcke is a very trusted deputy and it is probably this that has forced the issue. I doubt Blatter will leave Switzerland again.

As for re bids, there is no chance. Russia and Qatar will go ahead. If a re bid is bougt in, Fifa will be taken to the cleaners by both countries for the expense they have gone through in preparing and building for their respective world cups.

The only way I can see a rebid on these is if it is found that money changed hands, which is probably highly likely, but has to be proved.
