FIFA delegates getting their cummupence! Blatter GONE today.

[Pam]

Assume you might be alluding to the ABC News report.

That would be the only development significant enough for him to be suddenly forced out. Who is singing canary like, I wonder. And what about the Qatar votingTwatinin?

 

[green pennies]

Now we just have to hope Twatini doesn't replace him. Prince Ali, if he does what he says re: transparency, might be a decent choice.

 

[Cellarite]

Qatar for the WIN.

No chance it will be taken off them.

You're right in one aspect, it won't be taken off them. This despite the fact that Qatar should never have been given it and should never host a World Cup. Fucking ridiculous idea.

 

[jimharri]

Talk Shite are wanking in stomach churning fashion about David the Slimy Half-Wit Bent Rag Gill.

FUCK

OFF

Not a fan of Mr Gill then Pam?

 

[blueinsa]

If he resigned before the election then Prince Ali would become FIFA President. That wouldn't do as there's a danger he'd clean the stables fairly dramatically, backed by UEFA. By doing it after the election, the bent twats can ensure someone more sympathetic to the old, corrupt regime can take the reins.

African or Asian will do as well know how they like to vote eh Mr Blatter.

 

[Crouchinho]

Blatter resigned, probably already been said on here. Not a huge loss!!!

 

[mackenzie]

Now saying he is being investigated. Hardly a surprise is it.

 

[kaz7]

The net is closing in at last

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Qatar World Cup will be great.

In what way?

 

[warspite]

ABC news saying Blatter IS under investigation

FUCK

OFF

Sickening aint it.

He knew corruption was widespread at FIFA and wanted to join the cartel. Now he's distancing himself.........

 

[TonyM]

If he had just postponed the election for a few weeks it would have almost looked like he had nothing to hide.

OFF

Sigh

Have the footballing bodies learned nothing? How many prisons will the FBI have to fill before football stops appointing corrupt twats to run this game?

Stop letting these assholes with club loyalties (and other ulterior motives) run the show.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Blatter resigned?

 

[Zuriblue]

Blatter resigned?

Yep. He went quicker than a UKIP councillor with a 'hacked' Twitter account.

Nice one. Thread title needs adjusting accordingly please mods.

[Gaylord du Bois]

The footballing equivalent of the Berlin Wall coming down and we've not a thread for it?

 

[malg]

I really am finding it hard to care about this story. I personally don't see it as the earth shattering story that everyone on here thinks it is. I'm just ambivalent to it, maybe because I really can't see how FIFA affects my enjoyment of Man City. I really don't care where the World Cup is hosted, and if someone has greased a few palms to get it, then so what? The media frenzy surrounding it is also baffling, at the end of the day it's a sport, it's not life and death.

 

[thehydetiger]

Whoever gets in and takes over from Blatter will have their begging bowl out as soon as feasibly possible ensuring the gravy train keeps chugging right along.
