Пятница Май 29 - 20:46 He got back in. It was announced some time ago now.
I hope that UEFA have the balls to go through with their threats against FIFA. Football's power base and wealth is in Europe. Players from Africa and South America aspire to play in the European leagues, primarily for the money.
IF UEFA and the European clubs were to leave FIFA, others would follow. The World Cup and other tournaments would be in tatters because European clubs would then be under no threat of FIFA punishment if they refused to release non-European players for international matches.
Blatter just cannot be allowed to continue in post and his failure to stand down is sheer arrogance.
Though I have a slightly different take on it. Having said he'd step aside before the last election and going back on his word. I suspect he's just as corrupt as the others and he is going to try and stay where he is until he drops dead because he's afraid of what his successor will uncover. He's football's answer to Jimmy Saville - he'll escape punishment by checking out. Despicable excuse of a man, in my humble opinion and FIFA is a terrible organisation.

Seriously watch it. I love the part where Blatter tries to claim FIFA are a non-profit organisation with over £1 billion in the bank! (which he claims is just a reserve lol).
