The FIFA ethics committee have recommended that Blatter be slapped with an ignominious 90 day suspension period.
Blatter stands accused of “criminal mismanagement” of Fifa’s funds relating to a contract for TV rights signed with the disgraced former head of Caribbean Football, Jack Warner, a deal on which Warner later made £11m personal profit.
He is also being investigated for a “disloyal payment” of 2 million Swiss Francs (£1.4m) to Uefa Secretary General and Fifa Presidential hopeful Michel Platini.
The principal sponsors of FIFA decided to get into the act of kicking him while he was down.
An interesting account of how hypocritical that is can be read here..
So Blatter is getting his long overdue hauling over the coals at last but once he gets locked up or booted out or both who on earth is going to lead FIFA out of this mess into a brand new dawn ?
So far there are no credible options.
