Following comments from Sepp Blatter branding basically anybody against him and Qatar 2022 as a racist, it seems the world of football are starting to fight back. Our very own FA have launched a fierce attack back on Blatter. FA Chairman, Greg Dyke, has said "FIFA is a suspect organisation where there has been an awful lot of corruption. British media's allegations about Qatar 2022 World Cup bid are about corruption within FIFA and not racism." Further to this, Senior UEFA officials have called on Blatter to end his presidency. Dutch FA President, Michael Van Praag: "FIFA has an ugly reputation around the world and Blatter as president is ultimately responsible. When people think about FIFA, they think about corruption, bribery, money and an old boys' network." UEFA Executive Committee Member, David Gill: "Blatter's decision to stand for re-election is disappointing. We need to move on. We need a full, frank and open debate about what FIFA needs going forward." Former UEFA President Lennart Johansson: "I think it is time he went." Jack Warner: "If Blatter had one modicum of decency he wouldn't even be at FIFA still. I have been with FIFA for 30 years... I am still the longest serving elected officer of FIFA, and under Mr Blatter? I am saying to you under Mr Blatter, FIFA will never change."

If every top flight European clubs fan base put pressure on their clubs to provide a vote of no confidence in FIFA then his position is untenable, FIFA needs tearing down and we need to start again.
If Jack Warner says Blatty is crooked, he's probably straight. Not many worse than Blatto, but Warner is one of them. It's only the Europeans who see a problem- most of the rest of the world come from cultures where 'corruption' and 'bribery' are sadly more commonplace.
Pretty simple really, Blatter can fine the red tops a token couple of hundred quid and sweep it under the carpet like with the Spanish, Italians etc right~?
If the corruption allegations are wrong, SB could take the redtops to court for slander, but that wont happen.
UEFA officials have met and this seems to be their general opinion of Blatter although I think they're only of this opinion to get one of their own as head of FIFA instead. Namely a certain Platini.
If UEFA and the European football associations are unhappy about the situation why do they not boycott the 2018/2022 world cups then
If the European teams threatened to withdraw then it would cause a ruction. Something needs to happen. Blatter needs to be stopped. He had turned FIFA into a disgrace. SEPP OUT.
it's at least 18 years since a series of articles in the daily mail exposed blatter as a crook in a great deal of detail and as far as i know he never bothered to sue.

"Blatter takes home 4 billion dollars for doing nothing". "FIFA’s power is rotten, if they earn 4 billion dollars and the winners take 35 million, that’s a crazy gap. People should know about it. The multinational (FIFA) is hogging the ball", stressed the Argentina star on his programme 'De Zurda'.
lol bless ya. Bantz or obsession? You're trying a little too hard imo, might wanna back off. If they need smart snappy suits, I guess you're the man with the warm hands and tape measure up their inside legs too? Or do you only do that in Asia? Nice to see other countries are also starting to voice discontent with this charade. Blattz should have left when he had the chance, he might have salvaged some of his reputation, as it is, he'll be hounded out in shame with no good reputation left. Good thing too, slimy fecker.
His best mate Platini has come out and told Blatter he needs to go. “I supported him in 1998, but I do not support in 2014. And in the future, I shall not support Blatter. I told him that. I think Fifa needs a breath of fresh air.” It really is war now.
He needs to go just for this. [video=youtube;Vh7wlJ-Ozvo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh7wlJ-Ozvo[/video]
