Unfortunately, 'The Teflon Don' isn't one of them.


I can't help thinking that he was actually the one that supplied the evidence against them.

Ae they being purged?

Would be interesting to know if they're known dissenters of Herr Blatter and whether they were openly considering voting against him on Friday.

The most corrupt business on the planet and it's a shame only 6 of them have been identified.

Indeed.

Very probably.


They're either no use to Blatter any more or worse are now a threat.

THIS!! The man is the most corrupt person at FIFA yet as always with the person at the head of it all they seem untouchable. Am I right in saying the election for president of FIFA is in 2 days?? If so then WOW!!! There is some poor guy in front of the worlds media trying to answer questions on this, whilst Blatter hides behind him. The events of today stink... Big style.

That's how it works.

Blatter will probably have a wee black book somewhere detailing all the dodgy dealings of his "colleagues".

And with it comes their undying support.
