Sepp Blatter has said today that he didn't resign as FIFA president.

 

 

He said:

 

I did not resign, I put myself and my office in the hands of the FIFA congress'

 

He could be considering standing for re-election as president.

 

Just when you thought he had gone...

 

 

FIFA have banned a key World Cup official who assessed the bids of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups from all football-related activity for seven years. They said former Chilean Football Association Harold Mayne-Nicholls had been suspended by its ethics committee and that more information would be given when the "decision becomes effective".

FIFA has banned Chuck Blazar from all football related activity for life. Blazer, was working undercover with prosecutors in the USA after pleading guility to charges of bribery, money and laundering and tax evasion.

 

 

Sepp Blatter is set to reveal his plans for reform FIFA today.

 

Wonder how this will go.......

 

FIFA will be holding a extraordinary congress on 26th February 2016 in order to elect their new president.

 

 

Did anyone see this yesterday:

 

 

Lee Nelson throwing money at Sepp Blatter and saying "That's for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea'

 

Hilarious. His face showed that very fibre in Blatter's being wanted to grab that money :lol:

 

In all seriousness, it looks like Platini will be the next President. I'm not sure he represents a significant change from Blatter if I'm honest.

Latest on the FIFA corruption scandal is that FIFA will plan to hold a summit with the sponsors in August as they have admitted that potential World Cup sponsors are being put off.

According to Putin.

 

Sepp Blatter deserves the Nobal Peace Prize!!

 

 

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini are facing a investigation by FIFA's ethic committee over a payment that Platini received in 2011.

Fifa's independent Ethics Committee has banned Jack Warner from football-related activities for life.

 

The decision to ban the former Fifa vice-president and executive committee member was taken on the basis of investigations carried out following the Ethics Committee report on the bidding process for the 2018 and '22 World Cups.

 

Bernie Ecclestone getting involved in the Sepp Blatter situation:

 

If people allegedly have been corrupted to make things happen in their country, it’s good. It’s a tax football had to pay

Now apparently the 2018 World Cup host was already decided:

Blatter and Platini both banned for EIGHT YEARS from all football related activity.

 

Considering his age, that is surely the end of Sepp now!?

It must be the end of Blatter now. They will both appeal their bans.
