Let's Batter Blatter

[magpie]

has any body noticed how these people start to believe they are somehow better than the rest of us. just imagine what the vast sums given to these parasites could have done for the grassroots football organisations.
septic blatter seems to be trying to distance himself from these crimes, how can he say that he didn't know what was going on when he ran this Machiavellian cesspit? i for one won't miss his smarmy visage "gracing" various media outlets. they should close down the entire organisation and bring it home to england!
a lot of speculation has been made as to why it was the FBI and others that made this investigation, they have the resources to pursue this vast corruption. if it had been the UK, our legal system would have been paralysed to inertia.
i thought that things were bad at newcastle, this is calamatous!

As they say....Power corrupts.

Machiavellian cesspit - nice phrase.

"...a lot of speculation has been made as to why it was the FBI..."

I heard mention yesterday that the US authorities take a dim view of the misuse of the dollar, that may be why the FBI is involved.
Whatever the case, it's good to see action.

[Zacs-Master]

I suspect the FBI are involved because of the links to several south / central american countries involvement and potential leads into other areas of crime.

Why the Americans are involved ...

The one thing that I know is at least Sepp Blatter is not a racist.

White, brown, colour is unimportant to him. It's the contents of the envelope that really matters.

[Peter Pedant]

Blatta - Latin for beetle ( you may see a similarity in the word )
specifically cockroach

[DTCwordfan]

Indeed Peter = the Wilkipedia entry is interesting

"Cockroach
Insect
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattodea, sometimes called Blattaria, of which about 30 species out of 4,600 total are associated with human habitats. About four species are well known as pests."

Actually the figures ought to be about 31 species and '5 species are well known as pests.'

Oh, if we're going to descend to taking the mickey out of the man's name ...

I've always thought "Sepp Blatter" sounded like a craft from Star Wars, where a "sepp" was some massive (coincidentally) cockroach-like creature roaming a dusty planet like Dantooine, and a blatter was a craft built for flying around "blatting" sepps ... but maybe that's giving the man too much credit?

Sepp not exactly Honest Joe

[tonyav]

Putin isn't happy with the Americans !.

Putin is not happy period

[askyourgran]

Whatever, he should be blattered out of FIFA, how can he honestly say he knew nothing about what was going on around him all that time. Being President he should have known or else be sacked for not knowing.

Very true, Daisy.


And yes your right, ayg.

[DTCwordfan]

Bet he's got his chops in for 5% on the Russian bid.....

[jomifl]

Quite simply Sepp has been disbursing Football aid dosh to small countries from the fifa coffers that have mostly been filled by western Europe and South America. These small countries then vote for Sepp at every election..so nearly everybody is happy.

[Zacs-Master]

If he truly is innocent (ah-hem) in connection with the actions of some of FIFAs members, then he is guilty of not being in charge. Either way, he should quit.
