Some media outlets are saying the FBI are hoping to get the 6 to talk so that they can get Blatter. But surely now he can't win the vote to remain head of FIFA

He will probably resign and take up a position at the SFA.

I'm not familiar with the voting process for FIFA but when Figo said he was dropping out it was because the election wasn't a standard voting process, but a means to make sure one man couldn't lose. Wonder who that man is?

the office shredders will be getting overworked today

Aye, except that he's been the man in charge of this corrupt organisation all along! Do you think a Mafia boss would get away with the same defence?

FIFA appointed New York lawyer Michael Garcia to write a report into corruption and then refused to publish it .. nuff said. It looks like the FBI have got hold of a copy
Apparently these arrests have nothing to do with the Russian or Qatar bids ..... Once the ones who have been arrested start singing to cover their own ass who knows what will come out, this could hopefully be the death knell for an organisation which has become a byword for corruption They even make the IOC look honest.

While many have thought it before surely despite everything this is the end of Blatter and hopefully the start of FIFA being normalised. Quite how Blatter has made it this far is a bit of a mystery but clearly the power of brown envelopes is not one to be underestimated!

King out Blatter in. He will be an even better "the rangers man" if he manages to dodge the bullets coming his way when the others cut their deals with the fbi.

Can you run a football league without conforming to fifa?? Now would be a perfect time for a league to lead the way and take football on.

Nearly as good as the Attorney General, Lorreta Lynch,....whose name kinda suggests they've already decided on the punishment.
Oh and has anybody seen Blatter recently or has he already dissapeared to a friendly Gulf Nation that doesn't have any extradition treaties?

Have to agree with you PeeJay... First time for everything eh!!!
Wherever there is **** loads of money, temptation will always be there for corruption... Although I think FIFA have kicked the arse out of the phrase "corrupt organisation"!!!! Taken it to a new level.

This is what happens when organisations like them are answerable to nobody. But what will happen? Same as usual... A few will take the rap and Blatter will be voted back into power tomorrow as he doles out the dosh. So does anyone blame the poorer nations for taking what they're given and voting him back in??
