Blatter gone

[Easy 10]

THATS the one. An instinctive grasp.

Quality.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

To put it mildly- I'm not sure he's helping FIFA too much by hanging around.

 

[Ernest]

He has just reduced Blatter to a figure of ridicule, that video and photo is everywhere. That is the way to defeat him

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

I believe the only thing Blatter was thinking was "I don't do things such as this in front of the press."

 

[Triggaaar]

So maybe Blatter could go in February, and be replaced by Platini. I can't find a crumb of comfort in that.

Has the worlds most wanted little cretin gone yet ?

Visa's chief executive has lambasted Fifa for "not living up to standards" and "lack of awareness" of the seriousness of corruption charges.

Charlie Scharf told investors his payments company sought to partner with those "who think and act like us".

He said it tried to hold the highest standards, but did not believe Fifa was living up to those.

Visa has been one of the most critical of Fifa's top sponsors, nevertheless, such public plain talking is rare.

He is calling for an independent commission to be set up to plan for reform. Eleven days ago Coca-Cola also called for such a body to be set up.

Poor Sepp! However, these claims are from the equally slimy and corrupt Russians who bribed FIFA to get the 2018 WC so it's a bit like Goebbels saying HItler was misunderstood and actually a very nice chap.

 

[The Wizard]

It's just so corrupt it's difficult to comprehend how they get away with it.

 

[severnside gull]

With events at the draw in Russia it would appear that we can add institutional racism to the list of FIFA's wrongdoings

 

[Pavilionaire]

How is this guy STILL in a job? Absolute farce.

 

[drew]

Just a thought but how do we know how these sponsors all secured their contracts when they were dealing with corruption at Fifa?
