Blatter has absolutely no shame. I don`t know what his salary is but he seems determined to pocket the very last penny until the very last minute.
He's gonna step down in Feb, so this 3 month ban essentially finishes him Hopefully we will see a few more of them disappearing now Despicable farce of FIFA ends here thank God
please log in to view this image Fifa president Sepp Blatter is stepping down from his role in February Fifa has provisionally suspended its president Sepp Blatter, secretary general Jerome Valcke and vice-president Michel Platini for 90 days. Former Fifa vice-president Chung Mong-joon has been banned for six years and fined 100,000 Swiss Francs (£67,000). The punishments were handed out by the ethics committee of football's world governing body. Blatter, Valcke and Uefa president Platini are being investigated by the committee over corruption allegations. "The grounds for these decisions are the investigations that are being carried out by the investigatory chamber of the ethics committee," it said in a statement. The three are banned from any football activity in the interim. They deny any wrongdoing. Fifa's ethics committee began its investigation into Blatter after the Swiss attorney general opened criminal proceedings against the 79-year-old. He is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to Fifa and making a "disloyal payment" to Platini - who is also president of European football's governing body, Uefa. The ethics committee also opened an inquiry into Platini over the 2m euro (£1.35m) payment - which was made nine years after the 60-year-old carried out consultation work for Blatter. Valcke was already on gardening leave from his Fifa post following newspaper allegations last month which implicated the 54-year-old in a scheme to profit from the sale of World Cup tickets. Earlier this year, United States authorities indicted 14 Fifa officials and associates on bribery and racketeering charges. A simultaneous Swiss investigation was started into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Just two days later, on 29 May, Blatter won a fifth consecutive Fifa presidential election. However, on 2 June he announced his decision to step down in the wake of the corruption allegations. He is due to finish his term at a Fifa extraordinary congress on 26 February. More to follow
The submission of entries for the presidential election closes on 26th October. Platini will be suspended then but he says he is still going to run for office. What a farce of an organisation this is
Even Platini has no shame. They are all bare faced liars!! Our FA should be embarrassed that they are or were supporting Platini to be the new FIFA leader until as recently as yesterday even though he was implicated in all of this. But at least all these heads rolling at the very top of FIFA show that the English media and written press were right all along as they have being saying they were corrupt all along. As a result of that the twats ganged up on England and made sure we stood no chance of hosting another world cup. Warner, Blatter, Valke and Platini have all had it in for us and now they are finished and good riddance to them. They deserve everything they get!
It was for show mate. Because of all the accusations Blatter thought it would show he was trying to clear the image of FIFA up. How ironic that they have now suspended him!
