Dutch challenges Sepp Blatter for Fifa top job

Dutch football association chairman challenges Sepp Blatter for Fifa top job Sport January 26, 2015 Michiel van Praag outlining his position on KNVB televisionDutch football association chairman Michael van Praag has launched a campaign to be appointed president of football’s ruling body Fifa, in a direct challenge to Sepp Blatter. Van Praag says he and the KNVB believe it is his responsibility to take the step. ‘Everyone knows that the KNVB is extremely worried about Fifa’s reputation and the way Fifa is organised and run,’ he said. ‘I had hoped that a reliable candidate would come forward. But that has not happened.’ ‘And that is why that we, partly as one of the founders of Fifa have to accept our responsibilities, and I have to accept my responsibility by coming forward as a candidate. Critic Van Praag is an outspoken critic of Blatter, 78, who has chaired Fifa since 1998. On Tuesday, his official candidacy with the required five letters from associations who support his candidacy will be sent to Fifa headquarters in Zurich, a KNVB statement said. The election will take place at Fifa’s Congress in May, with Blatter seeking a fifth term as president. Van Praag is the fifth man to challenge Blatter. Jerome Champagne, Prince Ali Bin al Hussein, David Ginola and Mino Raiola have already come forward.

It won`t happen. Blatters votes are already bought and paid for.

 

So young, so cynical!

 

I would back Stephen Taylor to take Blatters place. The two biggest c*nts in football.

 

Blatter has cunningly placed himself into an unassailable position over the years by his restructuring of the voting procedures and the setting up of tiny football associations that receive goodly sums for the development of football in their province.

For me, it will take a rebellion by UEFA to withdraw from FIFA until the end of his tenure to make him even think about retiring but Platini does not have the guts.

 

Too many palms have apparently been crossed with silver Nostalgic. UEFA are the main paymasters to FIFA. It's not like they don't have anything in their armoury to take FIFA on. But they won't. They'd have to give their silver back beforehand.

The awarding of the next 2 World Cups debacle and the whitewashing of the subsequent investigative report just proved how powerful FIFA believe themselves to be.

 

I am taking hope from the Dutch being the first one to to at least stand up and say what Europe believes to be the daftest allocation of a WC to a tinpot country. Russia was bad enough with vastness involved but Qatar borders on bias towards a middle east team winning the cup due to conditions.

 

Good to see someone have the balls to take up the baton and challenge the king of corruption, the only down side, is that if there are to many to take on Blatter, all it will do is dilute the votes when what we really need is one strong candidate to drive out this festering carbuncle

 

Yup. No point having 5 candidates. All get behind the flying dutchman.

 

That Prince Binman Haha Hussein will be the only person who could possibly challenge Blatter I reckon.

Both of them ****s should be shot in the face prior to voting.

Fifa should then have a board of directors appointed, using the following people:

Sir Paul Scholes
Paolo Maldini
Lilian Thuram
Romario
Peter Schmeichel
George Weah

Ok, the names aren't important, but the theory is, Footballing people, current and in touch with the modern game, what it needs and how it can develop. Not fat ****ing cumberland sausage looking motherfuckers who have only one interest.

#NoMoreCunts

 

As bad as Stephen Taylor is.as far as cnuts go blatter is the biggest you can get

 

Blatter won't ever retire. Can you imagine how many files he would have to shred and emails to delete before he would let anybody else sit in his chair!!!!! He probably needs the next 4 years just to do that!

 

Only 4 years. Maybe he began that process the day he announced Russia and Qatar.
