Big surprise that. I guess Dyke has to get some credit here.

Blatter steps down

Just been announced....miracles do happen!

 

[SkyBlueSid]

Just need him to be arrested, tried and locked up then.

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Finally!!! Quite how he managed to stay on for so long is beyond me. I wonder if he is aware of an impending arrest?

 

[chiefdave]

Didn't think he'd go until he was forced. Has he been tipped off that those already arrested have dropped him in it and given the chance to resign ahead of any further action?

 

[chiefdave]

And agree, credit where its due to Dyke. I think you have to say of the 'bigger' footballing nations we've been the ones really pushing this. Platini seems thick as thieves with FIFA and the Germans had already ruled out a boycott before UEFA met to discuss the possibility.

 

[Samo]

Nasty little man couldn't even resign with any grace.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Fantastic news for football but somebody needs to get into FIFA tonight and take all the shredders!

have the sponsors ganged up on him?

Spot on I would have thought.

Spot on I would have thought.

i hope they have not traded off his resignation for no time in jail if he is guilty of anything.

Something must of come to light to trigger this in the rushed manner it has.
I wonder if Blatter wanted the election to go ahead as he thought he was safe, but his supporters weren't. Since then, he's been found out and is now panicking. The next few days will be interesting.

As for Fifa, I'm not sure it will matter in till we know what they plan in the future. I'm not confident things will change.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hopefully Seppala will find inspiration from Blatter resigning...

Then again...

 

[Tad]

Also, If the US have something on him now, what countries can he flee to that'll stop American getting him? Russia?

 

[Jack Griffin]

About time, the net was closing. This should not stop any investigation, if he is guilty he should be arrested & deported.

Sepp Blatter resigns as President of #FIFA He must not escape the investigation of past wrongdoing. There must now be full and open reform

Be interesting to see who stands for the role, I don't think Prince Ali was the right man just a better bet than the little shit Blatter.

Putin owes him one but he has just become much less useful so may lose some of the love for him.

Appalling man and likely to cause a hiatus until next Christmas / Springtime

 

[Jack Griffin]

Next target take the WC from Qatar. Completely impractical to hold it in winter in a f***ing desert country and disrupt football.

I wonder what position Prince Ali takes on that?

 

[tisza]

something major must have been uncovered in the last 48 hours. not in this man's character to go willingly.make this valke business is about to open a real can of worms.

 

[chiefdave]

I can see Russia still getting theirs but surely the Qatar one is at least going to be rerun.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

David Gill will not be resigning from his FIFA vp role now

Been listening to this on the radio and they spout the same western anglo saxon dribble you guys do

Dribble?

Anglo Saxon, FIFA?

Crikey.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

I reckon Blatter could do no worse taking over CCFC than our current owners.

There is an unlike button, on the line where your like is, on the right hand side

That's very, very kind old chap .

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

New York Times is reporting that Blatter is under a federal corruption investigation.

 

[Tad]

And to no surprise to anyone, Blatter is now being investigated by America

I bet he has cancelled those flight to the USA

No surprises there. This is just the first step. Many more to go before things are on the straight and narrow. Hopefully the decision to award Qatar and more importantly Russia the WC will be overturned somehow.

It must be nice living in that oblivious to the obvious world of yours.

 

[Captain Dart]

Heard on the radio this morning they have turned on the Large Hadron Collider at Geneva, Switzerland.

The search for Dark Blatter continues.

And let's not forget the thousands of migrant workers who have, and continue, to die in building these stadiums.

Mr Rettalb is the frontrunner for the vacant president spot.





Also, simonregis is a weird, weird fellow.
