    This is awful news.

    A lawfully elected official hounded out of office by invisible enemies and everyone claps like trained seals.

    Under his guidance, World Football has grown in strength and depth and now his legacy is going to be obliterated by the highest bidder.

    For shame.:mad:

    Why did he go through the sham of an election process.

    The little blx, retiring/resigning now at 80 yrs of age so he will get oodles of dough as his package out.

    I just hope it was the sponsors who had a hand in this. If so, fair play.

    That was the problem; it wasn't about football, it was about the highest bidder.

    Maybe because he gets some severance package to cover the rest of his tenure (4 years because he got elected last week) Corrupt a$$hole, just like the rest of the so called "Fifa Family".

    Now they just need to show how Russia bribed the World Cup bid and give it to the USA instead.

    Fifa calling it a "courageous" decision. What a load of! Trying to kick the traces and wash his hands of his wheeling and dealing is all it is. Good riddance, but I wouldn't be surprised if his replacement changes nothing. I'm sure Fifa is rotten to the core.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    He was elected again for four years, and now can get a nice big fat severance package, which he wouldn't have got if he resigned before the election.

    Talk about scheming little bstrd.

    He wanted "limitations on mandates and terms of office and his efforts were counteracted"

    Really Sepp why didn't you resign years ago rather than running in the sham elections that you repeatedly ran in and won

    Well the Russian bid committee rented their computers & laptops..... Then the computers were returned & destroyed.

    Which is understandable.
    As we know, computers are the size of a tennis court, affordable to only the 4 richest kings of Europe.

    Makes total sense for for the otherwise bottomless pit of cash called 'Putin vanity projects' to trim the pennies by renting PC's that immediately get destroyed instead of rented again.

    Seems legit!

    Had never heard of him prior to this thread. Epic name though.

    He cites "a lack of support in the world of Football". You don't say, Sherlock?
    You might say "but he was democratically elected", but there are doubts about that process, too.

    A vote for Blatter was a vote for "business as usual", which suited large blocs of national FAs just fine. Call me elitist, but the idea that e.g. American Samoa's vote carries as much weight as e.g. Germany's vote is silly. One of them has contributed immensely to the legacy of Football, the other ... well, at least they're having fun. :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
