Hopefully the FBI now have the evidence that he is a lying, cheating, corrupt 'orrible little coooont!

The Dogs B******s

Good Riddance

i'll believe it when he does step down,,,,,,, he'll do a farage, 'they wont let me quit',,,, lmao

dpb

Will be interesting to see what they have on him ..

Its bit like Strauss Kahn ...half the French population think he's fine upstanding fellow

And they think same of Blatter

Funkii Munkii

Why go through the circus that was his reelection to then resign two working days later, he must have been given the nod that he'll be picked up in the morning by the Swiss authorities and or the FBI.

Exactly what I was thinking, he refused to step down and now after all this he quits. Something or someone has finally pushed him to do it.

I wonder if Blatters "girlfriend" plays with his old limp ****?

I won't be satisfied until Qatar is stripped of hosting 2022. But this is a great start.

Tidgy

So he did go then, about bloody time.

As above, time to review who gets the worldcup.

Although i dont want us to have it lol

I'm a bit torn on the Qatar WC. It's far enough off to bin it off but there's already been a big human cost with migrant worker deaths building the stadiums over there. Would be a huge waste to simply pull the plug and divert it here. The Russian one should go ahead. It should be about the sport and not political points scoring. Love them or loathe them, they've "won" their bids and that's that. They've just won it bent......and that's now a matter of record. It's not like Argentina were docked a WC Trophy for that handball......amongst other injustices.

I wonder if anyone would feel tremendous guilt if our Olympics/European Football Championships hostings were later flagged up as equally bribed/bent.

The world needs a little controversy.

"...It's far enough off to bin it off but there's already been a big human cost with migrant worker deaths ..."

or - you could take the opposite view and bin it now, to save the future lives that will be lost by carrying on ?!?!

Word has it that Seb is now working for DuPont:

.....By assisting them in their research to find the next replacement for Teflon

If it's proved they "paid" to secure enough votes to host the WC then they should lose it simple as that, they shouldn't be rewarded by allowing them to keep it.

For all the other countries involved in the bidding process I can see law suits landing on FIFA's door step, if again it is proven, wanting to reclaim the monies the spent putting their bids together.

The Irish pay off after the Henry handball is just another example of bribbing (under the banner of a loan ), this story is going to run and run and will make the Lance Armstrong affair look like a storm in a tea cup once all the fat pigs start spilling their guts, they're not going to want to go into the U.S. prison service sharing a cell with Bubba, no open prisons over there..

Plea bargains a plenty me thinks

hodgy0_2

yes, this is modus operandi of the Americans, especially the FBI

they basically threaten you with a 30 year stretch, but drastically reduced it if you cooperate and plea bargain

once you crack, and spill the beans, they go after the next guy in the chain

and say, "so and so is cooperating, he has given us all this evidence, we are going to put you away for a 30 stretch, unless you cooperate"

and then repeat on the next guy until they get to the end

and in this case the initial person was Chuck Blazer, and they had him wear a wire for 3 odd years - one can only imagine the evidence they have accumulated


and yes - as I remarked at the time, once the FBI got involved in the Armstrong affair, it collapsed like the charade it was, and pretty quickly

An0n0m0us

Jack Warner looks like the one to stitch Blatter up if all the reports are to be believed and it's obvious he is after one big plea bargain before he gets taken off to the US from the West Indies.
