Bitter Blatter Backdoor Bombshell

There’ll be another election, until then he’s seeing it out. Good news for football.

Good news for sure. Still stinks though that he’ll likely walk away without ever being charged. (And he’s on full salary for 4 years after his departure)

  I won’t be so sure,the FBI are still digging. I’m guessing he stepped down because the investigation is getting close to him.

  Doubt it, this stinks of the villagers getting close to the gates.
  
  He was only elected a few days ago, clearly something has happened that makes his position untenable.
  
  Hopefully he’ll be sent to work on stadiums in qatar

    Also I doubt Dyke has the balls to be coming out with what he was saying earlier without knowing there was an open net in front of him.

even an Irish TD would have resigned with all that he’s responsible for.

Me thinks an American agency let him know that what they are going to reveal will destroy him if he remains as president.

Would that be the Female Body Inspectors?

– sent from my (insert Broadsheet mobile device of choice, as I am sure you are all enjoying some celebratory beverages after the decision earlier).

In fairness though, with this news and the decision earlier, today is a good day.

Fergus the magic postman June 2, 2015 at 7:09 pm

Except Step Ladder had the sense to step down because he knows the net is closing.

Don June 2, 2015 at 9:19 pm

About time

Malatey June 3, 2015 at 12:03 am

Everyone thinks its so odd that Blatter resigned today. I’ve an inkling Sepp received a letter from a good “friend” who was having a bad day, and was looking for a news distraction… coincidence?!? #redacted and friends :)
