    There are so many snouts in the trough that they will vote to keep the manager of that trough in place.

    UEFA needs to withdraw from FIFA not partake in its sham democracy - not that Platini is much better.

    Is Blatter half Argentinian? He has the mentality to be one.

    Allowing countries to bid for World cups and spend time, money and effort to present their cases and then have no inclination to use a fair and free selection process is DISHONEST.

    Some say Blatter will destroy the world cups,
    and ruin football ,

    so yes ??
    all British football should withdraw before we go down the same path,
    surely we can come up with something better than what we have,
    and then perhaps others will follow our lead, and FIFA will cease to exist..

    I am amazed of the power that the man has, the way he say if you want to go against me it will be a risk , a risk to what to be dismiss from Fifa, be exiled. Very strong words from Blatter to any rival who dares to oppose him.
