Mack Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27339285 Like a wet fart in a lift that lingers eternally..... Sepp Blatter has announced he will stand for a fifth term as Fifa president in 2015. After retaining his post unopposed in 2011, the 77-year-old Swiss - who has held the role since 1998 - had said he would not contest the next election. But he told Swiss newspaper Blick: "I'm a candidate again. My mandate has ended but my mission is not finished." The election to be president of world football's governing body will be held in Zurich in June next year. Speaking to the BBC in October, Blatter declined to confirm he would be standing for another term, but hinted that he intended to continue in the role. Fifa vice-president Jeffrey Webb and former deputy general secretary Jerome Champagne have been tipped as alternatives to Blatter as a future Fifa president, but both have said they would not stand in opposition to the current incumbent.
kingcarr21 Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 I hope he stays as president. Just think about what he has done for football over the years. Theres the time when he....ermmm.....ummmm.... oh and dont forget when he.....hmmmmmm Nope sorry but i think i stand by most fans when i say FVCK OFF BLATTER
Mack Posted 9 May 2014 Author Posted 9 May 2014 You'd think his pockets were so deeply lined he could hardly walk but no..... maybe he has some grand kids who need a mansion beside lake Como or something?
kingcarr21 Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 ^^^^^ i feel honoured that your 1st ever post was to clap mine.
Dan Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 The fact he retained it unopposed says it all. When the cvnt finally dies he'll only be replaced by that nobhead Platini as well. What a mess it all is.
The Doctor Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 You'd think his pockets were so deeply lined he could hardly walk but no..... maybe he has some grand kids who need a mansion beside lake Como or something? Or maybe he thinks what he's doing is for the good of football. Not everything has to be about money...
Grandad. Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 F*** the pair of them, Blatter and Platini are everything that is wrong with football, oh and Manchester United. Nothing will change, it will only all get worse.
Out Foxed Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 Or maybe he thinks what he's doing is for the good of football. Not everything has to be about money... I have a bridge for sale
Grandad. Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 Kills me that I won't see England host a World Cup in my lifetime.
stripeyfox Posted 9 May 2014 Posted 9 May 2014 Kills me that I won't see England host a World Cup in my lifetime. Thing is we would be a brilliant host, and could do so more or less immediately with the current stock of stadia. But these FIFA nobheads would rather send everyone to sweat their balls off in a country the size of Yorkshire with little football heritage and which just so happens to be one of the wealthiest in the world. It stinks beyond belief especially when you consider the countries which also bid for 2022 (Japan, S.Korea, USA and Australia). Whilst you could argue that Japan and Korea was "too soon" after 2002, the other two would have been a better choice. But they probably weren't pushing wheelbarrows full of cash to the delegates who voted for this farce. If our FA had an ounce of integrity they'd boycott it - but of course they won't.
Mack Posted 9 May 2014 Author Posted 9 May 2014 I hope all the major European leagues carry on through that Qatar joke and let the players decide where they would rather be. If this **** gets re elected... well... You know.
Mack Posted 10 May 2014 Author Posted 10 May 2014 So are we just going to accept that World Football will remain corrupt under this bigoted old fool?
One Legged Beaver Posted 10 May 2014 Posted 10 May 2014 So are we just going to accept that World Football will remain corrupt under this bigoted old fool? None of the FAs have the balls to stand up to him, so unfortunately yes.
stripeyfox Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 So are we just going to accept that World Football will remain corrupt under this bigoted old fool? I fear so. Even if he goes, he will be replaced by some other crook
Nalis Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 I fear so. Even if he goes, he will be replaced by some other crook This is it really. When he's replaced, his successor is not exactly going to be a revolutionary is he? Too many perks to lose at the old boys club.
Raj Posted 11 May 2014 Posted 11 May 2014 the reason he was elected last time is cos he said he would not stand for a 5th time!!! he really is a cvnt Atleast platini was a great player
davieG Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 6 January 2015Last updated at 06:54 509 Share Facebook Twitter print Prince Ali to challenge Sepp Blatter for Fifa presidency Fifa vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein will challenge incumbent Sepp Blatter for the leadership of world football's governing body. The Jordanian Prince, 39, will stand as a candidate at Fifa's presidential election on 29 May, where Blatter, 78, will seek a fifth term of office. Prince Ali said: "It is time to shift the focus away from administrative controversy and back to sport. "The headlines should be about football, not about Fifa." Who is Prince Ali?The son of the late King Hussein and the late Queen Alia, who died in a helicopter crash in 1977, he attended Sandhurst military academy before joining his country's armed forces. He is the brother-in-law of leading racehorse owner Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai. Prince Ali successfully championed the lifting of Fifa's ban on the hijab in women's football. Prince Ali, president of Jordanian football since 1999, said he had been encouraged to stand by colleagues. "The message I heard, over and over, was that it is time for a change," the Asian Football Confederation's vice-president said. "The world game deserves a world-class governing body - an international federation that is a service organisation and a model of ethics, transparency and good governance." Prince Ali, also head of the West Asian Football Federation, was one of a number of officials who called for the publication of ethics investigator Michael Garcia's report into allegations of corruption surrounding the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids. Uefa president Michel Platini is said to be "pleased" that Prince Ali has decided to enter the race and will attempt to get the Jordanian as many votes as possible in Europe. Fifa has suffered a number of damaging corruption allegations during Blatter's 17-year reign. Last month, former England captain Gary Lineker described the way Fifa was running world football as "a farce" after the governing body became embroiled in more allegations of World Cup bidding corruption. Analysis: BBC Sport's Mani Djazmi"Prince Ali is very much the favoured candidate of Uefa, the European governing body, which does not want the incumbent Sepp Blatter to run again. He will know that he has got a chance. We're talking about a royal Arab prince who would not stake his reputation on a flier. But Blatter has been Fifa president since 1998. Others have tried to overcome him but they have failed." Garcia resigned last month in protest over the handling of his report into bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Russia and Qatar. Fifa cleared both bidding teams of corruption following a series of allegations and said the tournaments would be staged in the countries chosen. Meanwhile, BBC Sport revealed that secret talks between Fifa officials and Blatter, who has been president since 1998, took place over his future as leader of football's governing body. Former diplomat Jerome Champagne, 56, who joined Fifa in 1999, is the only other challenger to have confirmed his intention to run for the presidency. Candidates must declare their interest before 29 January.

Finnegan Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali of Fifaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm glad I'm not the only one that did that.
Footballwipe Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 In the "How long until Prince Ali is magically investigated for corruption allegations" sweepstake, how long are we all going for? I'm saying three weeks.
