FBI already have the info i reckon so sweeping his footprint away behind him will not help.
If we do get the major reform also this 4month stuff will not be worth the paper it is written on.

"IF" we get the reform THAT IS NEEDED! Platini will be favorite to succeed him and reckon Gill will be his poster boy , what with him "taking the moral high ground" against Blatter and all that and I think we can do much better than expecting any course correction at FIFA with Blatter's protege at the helm; reckon he'll get busy building his own empire over the ruins of Blatter's and it won't be surprising if its as corrupt as, if not more, than Blatter's.
 
Can we now withdraw the world cup from Qatar and have a re election? It's a crap idea, it's too hot, too many workers have died, it's not a footballing nation, nobody will enjoy it.

rejoice, you miserable lot. football is finally entering the 21st century, and a lot of things will change. corporate culture is likely to be the influential model, and that might be a very good thing. one knock on effect is likely to be that UEFA will move away from the all-powerful-presidential model, and the balance of power of the relevant stakeholders will likely be redressed. the focus will to some extent shift to the interests of consumers - i.e fans.

really the best thing they can do is split up/firewall as much of it as possible. there is no justification whatsoever for one central comittee to hold sway over both commercial operations and sporting regulation.

I am not sure that there is evidence that bringing any business that is awash with cash / money into even legal accountability is proven to work.
We rightly give the FBI credit for dealing with FIFA's Swiss based organisation but I am a little concerned that the people that eventually run football's top organisation will be just as inept at controlling corruption and cartels.
Of course all the usual suspects will take the moral high ground (not really too much to beat I suppose) but will newcomers be any better ?

I ask because history has shown that the decision to save the Banks with taxpayers money or in Barclay's case Sheikh M.'s money may have been necessary but did it stop their illegal practices ? I don't think so, hardly a day goes by without record fines for most of these supposedly icons of virtue. They still cartel (Libor rates), they still money launder etc. despite these fines.
Incidentally FBI evidence was also responsible for the need to prosecute and fine.

So my point is that control by new CEO's and their supposed attempts to change culture from within have failed in Banks so FIFA and Uefa are just as unlikely to be any more successful no matter who runs them.
 
Until individual countrys' FAs become more accountable to the people of those countries, there will always be corruption. The problem is that FIFA rules forbid external interference by governments, which on the one hand keeps politics out of football but on the other, prevents proper scrutiny. As long as the people running the FAs can take a bung in exchange for support without being found out, it will happen. 133 people representing 133 FAs voted for Blatter knowing he is corrupt so it suggests the problem is deep rooted and will be extremely difficult to address.

I keep hearing the media say Platini is favourite to take over, but it sounds like lazy journalism to me. With the current one country-one vote system, there is no way that the rest of the world will install the current head of UEFA (or any of his stooges) as the head of FIFA.

It'd be like turkeys voting for Christmas, and while a lot of them might be corrupt, they ain't daft. Plus, the recent talk of a rival tournament featuring only countries from Europe and Latin America will have set the alarm bells ringing even louder than ever before.

The answer is to have systems that manage or mitigate risk. In FIFA's case that would involve a single term presidency, with the President and executive set specific, measurable goals by an independent, non-executive body. Rotate the Presidency between the major regions. Also introduce far more transparency and better auditing of the money they do spend and the benefits that accrue from those projects.

Blatter spread the money around and turned a blind eye when that money disappeared into people's pockets, as long as that ensured he got votes when he needed them.

Incidentally I've met the last three Barclays CEO's and did some work with the current one when he was at Barclaycard. He struck me as a fundamentally decent guy who simply wouldn't set out to encourage a culture of fraud and deceit. But the Americans who ran Barclays Capital were a different breed altogether and anything was fair game as long as they hit their figures. Tom Kalaris, the guy who presented the PL trophy in 2012, was one of the worst of the lot supposedly. Once that sort of culture gets embedded in the business, it can be hard to root out.
 
Blatter will no doubt stand for re-election in the next election again! :)

I'd love seeing Russia host the football world cup tbh. They were one of the major footballing powerhouses when they used to be the Soviet Union. Frankly, I would like to see Russia become a top footballing power house in football again. We already know Russia are the best team in Beach football and one of the best European Futsal side as well. I hope Turkey hosts the world cup one day too. But IMO with the current situation, Platini is no better than Blatter. It was awful at the fact most of English media were backing Platini. That's backing one corrupt over the other.
