There is more to this than meets the eye....he is not the type to resign without a very good reason, especially after all the hoo-haa of the last week or so. The truth will out !

Good question barney 15c.

Well done to the FBI on getting Blatter to 'see the light'

[weecalf]

bet those if any who tried to bribe the Fifa are holding their breath

A NSS award goes to , mikey.

I wonder if the Big Blatter singing Chantilly Lace will become his swansong:

Hello baby, yeah, this is the Big Blatter speaking
Hahahahahaha - Oh you sweet thing
Do I what.... Will I what
Oh baby you know what I like

Chorus............

There ain't nothing in the world like a bung in the bank
That makes me act so funny, make me take your money

etc .....etc

Are you implying that bears are still using the arboreal defecation facilities, talbot?

"There is more to this than meets the eye...."

hell youre smart !......its called corruption, hes been at the heart of it for years and years...now the FBI are on the case and hes realised whos spilling the beans to plea bargain, he knows hes got nada choice

[DTCwordfan]

I thought bears used rabbits.....

Baz.

Everybody knows that FIFA is corrupt, but Blatter is now saying that he is going because "My mandate does not appear to be supported by everybody."

That doesn't ring true and that was the point of my post, so why be so offensive ? This isn't party politics and I should be able to voice an opinion without sarcasm from you !

[-Talbot-]

When has his mandate been supported by everybody?

He doesn't care about that at all.

Qatar 2022 - What odds now there will be a re-run?

Thanks Ron !...me too !

[jourdain2]

Me, too!

It's a start but the whole outfit is riddled with corruption so it needs a good clear out and it will need someone to kick *** if FIFA is ever going to be fit for purpose.

"This isn't party politics and I should be able to voice an opinion without sarcasm from you ! "

youd do well to take a huge dose of your own medicine in that case, for fear of being called a hypocrite.

Bladder will still be in charge for several months because the new elections are at least 4 months away and probably not until December. Plenty of time for a bit of earth scorching.

[bazwillrun]

he is not the type to resign without a very good reason,

but we know why hes resigning....he is guilty of bribery and corruption of one form or another ...theres no smoking gun as such...theres all his minions ready to plea bargain to save their own butts, and they will give the FBI all the evidence they need to shaft blatter whilst hoping to save their own rses...
theres no big deal here, this is long overdue

I note that Coca Cola and Mcdonalds have said he has done the right thing (or words to that effect)
