Luis Figo and Michael Van Praag have both withdrawn to give Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein a better chance of beating Sepp Blatter. Good luck to him.
I had to google who that is. His mrs is called Princess Rym. Gets my vote, if i get one. I dont do I.
I only started reading "Foul" by Andrew Jennings last week - I am half way through now and Blatter & his cronies just seem to be the most corrupt conniving underhand bunch of thugs imaginable. I get the impression that no matter who challenges Blatter he somehow gets some dodgy billionaire to pay off loads of delegates even as they arrive at the airport - never seems to be a foregone conclusion when Sepp is in the game (if we could just adopt his mentality for Sunday!!!!).
His net worth is in excess of £18 billion, I understand, althought this has yet to receive cabby confirmation...
