England still go out in the group stages.

 

Has he? About ****ing time. It only took a decade. This recent presidency. must be the shortest presidency ever like

 

thats it then... he must know the cops are onto him and is now moving to a non extradition country.

The press all thought this would take a couple years not a wet week for him to go. It was all an ego trip last week.

he sat there and got every single thing he wanted through in congress then re-elected himself.... so now he resigns and then what..

every decision made should be cancelled now.

I really think they've got him now but the thing is he can still tell africa how to vote and put a clone in power.

 

Told you this would be a far more likely outcome than any boycott of the WC

 

i think a pope got murdered fast but i think this is very short indeed.

 

I said presidency

 

lies!

So has this at least restored some of your faith in humanity you miserable batard?

found this bit of fun

Sultan Sayyid Khalid bin Barghash Zanzibar Al Bu Sa'id 25 August 1896 27 August 1896 2 days Seized power after the death ofSayyid Hamad bin Thuwaini Al-Busaid resulting in the 38 minuteAnglo-Zanzibar War. Replaced bySayyid Hamoud bin Mohammed Al-Said after surrender.

that didn't last long did it... 2 days



this one we all should remember

g Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev Nepal Shah 1 June 2001 4 June 2001 <56 hours Succeeded to the throne after the murder of his father Birendra during the Nepalese royal massacre in which Dipendra allegedly inflicted mortal wounds upon himself.

 

hey blatter is a king.. a dictator... call him what you like.

 

Pope-elect Stephen Holy See 23 March 752 AD 26 March 752 AD 3 days Not normally recognized as a genuine Pope, Stephen died of apoplexy 3 days after his election, missing his consecration. The numbering of Stephens fromStephen I (254–257 AD) to Stephen II (752–757 AD) skips him over, and he was removed from the 1961 List of Popes.

3 days for the papal guy.

 

I should probably add that he's not actually resigned yet...

Nope, I knew Blatter had to go, if he stays the money wagon will not roll on due to scrutiny, now that he is gone and "some" arrests have ben made FIFA will continue just as they have been, but more carefully.
This changes NOTHING I guarantee you, FIFA still have billions and massive influence over actual countries, no wonder SA were happy to pay just 10m for the WC, they made far more from it

 

Here is the full transcript of Sepp Blatter’s statement:

I have been reflecting deeply about my presidency and about the 40 years in which my life has been inextricably bound to Fifa and the great sport of football. I cherish Fifa more than anything and I want to do only what is best for Fifa and for football. I felt compelled to stand for re-election, as I believed that this was the best thing for the organisation. That election is over but Fifa’s challenges are not. Fifa needs a profound overhaul.

While I have a mandate from the membership of Fifa, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football – the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football as much as we all do at Fifa. Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective Congress. I will continue to exercise my functions as Fifa President until that election. The next ordinary Fifa Congress will take place on 13 May 2016 in Mexico City. This would create unnecessary delay and I will urge the Executive Committee to organise an Extraordinary Congress for the election of my successor at the earliest opportunity. This will need to be done in line with Fifa’s statutes and we must allow enough time for the best candidates to present themselves and to campaign. Since I shall not be a candidate, and am therefore now free from the constraints that elections inevitably impose, I shall be able to focus on driving far-reaching, fundamental reforms that transcend our previous efforts.

For years, we have worked hard to put in place administrative reforms, but it is plain to me that while these must continue, they are not enough. The Executive Committee includes representatives of confederations over whom we have no control, but for whose actions Fifa is held responsible. We need deep-rooted structural change. The size of the Executive Committee must be reduced and its members should be elected through the Fifa Congress. The integrity checks for all Executive Committee members must be organised centrally through Fifa and not through the confederations. We need term limits not only for the president but for all members of the Executive Committee. I have fought for these changes before and, as everyone knows, my efforts have been blocked.

This time, I will succeed. I cannot do this alone. I have asked Domenico Scala to oversee the introduction and implementation of these and other measures. Mr Scala is the Independent Chairman of our Audit and Compliance Committee elected by the Fifa Congress. He is also the Chairman of the ad hoc Electoral Committee and, as such, he will oversee the election of my successor. Mr Scala enjoys the confidence of a wide range of constituents within and outside of Fifa and has all the knowledge and experience necessary to help tackle these major reforms. It is my deep care for Fifa and its interests, which I hold very dear, that has led me to take this decision. I would like to thank those who have always supported me in a constructive and loyal manner as President of Fifa and who have done so much for the game that we all love. What matters to me more than anything is that when all of this is over, football is the winner.

 

Autocratic plutocrat.

 

Don't **** with us you ****, if he doesn't reisgn I'll have your balls

 

He was going to resign about years ago too

 

Yeah but you didn't get all hearldy about that you did about this time, so he better resign for your sake, or I'll curse you with a beef intolerance spell

 

Of course I did, he was just as much a **** back then too
