Switzerland seek Fifa arrests!

Going to be interesting on what happens now as Blatter resigns, wll the investigations still push fiooward looking for convictions and will all announced future events such as world cup etc now be reviewed.
 
I hope he lives long enough to enjoy the company of big bubba, in a fine correctional institution in the U S of A.

Hopefully Jack Warner is there with him.

:)
 
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooooo Hoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good riddance.
 
I'm surprised it's happened so quick tbh but definitely the correct decision.

I wonder when the FBI will be knocking at Blatter Towers.
 
Neat diversionary tactic by Blatter here. Extraordinary FIFA congress won't take place and Dec-March 2015 time. Current fuss and bother dies down and the FBI get the men and women - and he remains untouched. Meanwhile he remains at the helm - 'building' a groundswell of popular support amongst his acolytes for him to stand again - and get re-elected. Hopefully I'm thinking cynical tosh.

I'm pretty sure he's gone. They must have got some pretty strong evidence linking him to these bribes and he's decided to go with as much dignity as he can muster, before he's led away in handcuffs. Would not overly surprise me if he turns supergrass now .
 
Hopefully we can get proper tackling back in the game now, none of this namby-pamby stuff we've had for the last 10 years.

Costa still goes too far though.:)
 
im pretty sure blatter doesnt care now, he has enough swiss francs to sink a battle ship, so if i were him i would be spending the rest of my days near a pool and a bar.

The Swiss won't hand him over easily, if at all. He'll try and sit it out in exile, I think that's why he's resigned, otherwise he would be lifted whilst visiting a less sympathetic country like......England :) .
 
so why now and not a couple of days ago before the election? The cynic in me thinks that as he won the election, he gets a further pension boost irrespective of if he stands down after a couple of days in office. Ker Ching, mind you, probably worth it to get rid of him
 
About time, well 10 years too late.

His influence over the lesser lights of world football was staggering and as powerful as UEFA are they could not raise the required support to realistically challenge Blatter.

I agree. He's not going with immediate effect, up to four months to go, and so he'll still be coining it in
