Sepp Blatter has just announced he is stepping down as FIFA president. Jumping before he is pushed perhaps?

Heard he was going to freelance between Zombies and inbreds to give Scotland's 2 a chance at committing a real fraud.

Begs the question why he stood for it in the first place, wonder if Prince Ali will go back in for it?

Good. Clearly caught lying about how much his number 2 knew and tried pinning it on a dead man. Hopefully we can get someone in who cares more about football than money.

Sinister wee man. Probably going to be a Berlusconi double in the future.

Why? Just because someone has played top level football does not mean they are a good administrator. Originally Posted by HIBERNIAN-0762

I wouldn't hang out the bunting just yet until we find out whether he will stand in the next election.

For all his faults he never stooped as low as stealing the poppy money.

Not necessarily a good thing. The dinosaur Platini, for example. Originally Posted by HIBERNIAN-0762

Hopefully a hefty jail term awaits.

Great news, but only the start of the collapse of FIFA and its corrupt delegates/officials.
Let's just hope Platini doesn't get the job.

I guess Sepp B. has realized that he's reached the end of the road ... allegations about Valcke were probably enough to make him quit ... detestable organisation, it's not solved by his going alone

Just wait until those that have been charged start singing to try to get lesser jail time.

I'm actually relieved to hear this. There has been some whispers about UEFA taking what had been dubbed the 'nuclear' option, leaving FIFA. Once Germany, Italy, England, etc. are out and forming their own association the sponsors will follow. That (it was expected) would cause a domino effect. The result would be two world bodies and potentially two world cups with only the smaller nations remaining in a FIFA that would be substantially weaker than the new body.
Any new President has to be ready to reform the organisation, for that he will need the support. Blater was re-elected because he was good for the smaller nations (for good and ill), will there be a Blater II candidate who aims to continue business as usual?

I sincerely hope that his stepping-down is part of a deal he's made which might soften his eventual prison-sentence. I'd also hope the authorites are looking into the companies whose money made all the corruption possible.
