That's it then. He's gone. Elections in Feb. Can't see him coming back again.

Good riddance to bad news.

Walls are closing in. My money's on his car found near a bridge somewhere rather than jail time.

Visa head attacks Sepp Blatter and Fifa’s ‘wholly inadequate’ crisis response.

The head of the leading Fifa sponsor Visa has delivered a stinging attack on Sepp Blatter, claiming there can be no meaningful reforms until he leaves as president of the organisation.

Blatter is insistent he will remain in the position until the election of his successor on 26 February next year and this week announced a task force to bring in reforms. But the Visa chief executive, Charlie Scharf, said Fifa’s response to the corruption crisis had been “wholly inadequate” and joined fellow sponsors Coca-Cola in demanding a fully independent reform commission.

He is a stubborn ****er with absolute power. I doubt he would step down even if he was jailed.

[Alex]

He'll be gone within the week now. He is in a fairly untenable position IMO.

Coca-Cola calls for Sepp Blatter to step down as Fifa president immediately.

Top Fifa sponsor calls for Sepp Blatter to step down as president immediately and for "comprehensive and urgent reform" following corruption allegations.



Coca-Cola, a top sponsor of Fifa, has called for Sepp Blatter to step down immediately as president of football’s governing body following a scandal involving alleged bribes and kickbacks.

Blatter’s departure would allow a “credible and sustainable reform process” to begin, the beverage giant said on Friday.

“Every day that passes, the image and reputation of Fifa continues to tarnish,” Coca-Cola said in an e-mailed statement. “Fifa needs comprehensive and urgent reform, and that can only be accomplished through a truly independent approach.”

The move follows a push by Coca-Cola for Fifa to adopt an independent commission that can reform the organisation and “win back the trust of all who love the sport”.
