Bent Blatter says he will convene an Extraordinary General meeting of the FIFA committee 'in the future' to arrange the necessary process.
'In the future' could mean the day before the next election is due in four years, or it might even be the day he gets his collar felt.
Personally, I hope it's the latter. And sooner rather than later. |  |

On the news it just said he'll be in charge until this Extraordinary General meeting can be held, and that meeting will be any time between December and March! Not long now then! |  | | |

My take on "in the future" is after he's had a big bonfire and burnt any evidence that could be seized.
I suspect he's doing a lot of clenching right now. That practice could pay dividends post-conviction, too, but knowing that slime-ball, he'll avoid incarceration somehow. He's a nice man anyway - his daughter said so on the news so it must be true. |  |

Exactly. Much covering of tracks to do in the meantime. | |

The hunt will be on for a Football administrator that is clean and honest. Which could be similar to finding a drug free cyclist to take over Lance Armstrong's titles |  | | |

He will deny everything and say it's all political. Once the real evidence appears which I am sure will ( His corrupt supporters will turn on him to save themselves) then the doctors note saying he has onset of Alzheimers will appear !!! - Not fit to stand trial etc etc |  | | |

Him going is undoubtedly welcome and long overdue but lets remember the folks who voted him back in last week are the same people who will be voting for his successor and I suspect he is already telling the african and asian block who that is to be. That is why he is delaying his resignation. There is no real change happening among the gnomes of zurich.
In addition, some decent people have resigned from the executive committee and other FIFA posts in the wake of last week so even fewer folks left to try to see fair play.
The size of the problem can be seen by the comments from the Australian FA today. They claim today that money they gave to the Trinidad FA in advance of the vote for 2018 was appropriated by Dixon of Dock Green (Jack Warner) . Why were they giving large sums of money to Trinidad anyway? To buy the Trinidad vote. I believe the FA were also involved in this buying votes movement. Yet neither the FA or Soccer Australia seem to think there is anything wrong with it provided the money (bribe) goes to its intended recipient.
In the 150 year history of the FA when did they ever give money to countries like Trinidad when they weren't applying to host the world cup? The culture of buying votes is all pervasive and we are only complaining about it because we didnt pay enough
At the same time the euro nations seem to be implying that the voting rules are wrong because one member one vote gives insufficient influence to the big football nations. I always thought British institutions believed in one member one vote. Why is football different? And lets remember England had the FIFA presidency for long periods and never sought to make these changes.
Yes FIFA is rotten to the core but what are the Euro nations proposing as an alternative that would avoid maintaining the current mess? |  | | |

Given the level of freeloaders and backhanders in the European Commission (and the people at that level tend to be from the same genetically-predisposed to corruption ilk in football governance) - nothing.
It's a valid point you make about the one-member one-vote principle. I'm sure I heard someone from the FA saying on the radio the other day that this was "unfair, and needed to be changed". |  |
