Well - what a surprise..........

How anybody who can be in charge of such a festering pile of shit, and not know about the levels of corruption therein, is either a total ignoramus or a lying a55hole............

I see that the anti-Brit Platini is also caught up in an alleged illegal payment, he has been too long at Blatter`s table to be able to take the top job.

The only hope for FIFA is to not allow anyone to stand who is tainted by the current regime, however small. Platini certainly is, so are other current candidates to replace Blatter and if he is suspended, the one due to act as a stand in is also in the poo. The whole lot of them are rotten to the core and they all need to go for FIFA to regain any sort of credibility.

FIFA bans Thai football chief

"The ethics committee said it had moved to sideline Worawi "on the grounds that a breach of the Code of Ethics appears to have been committed and a decision on the main issue may not be taken early enough.".....

Both Blatter and Platini suspended for 8 years. I assume there may be more to come with the ongoing FBI and Swiss investigations. Pete :cheers:

Blatter led a totally corrupt org and all who served under him supported him and either participated in the crimes or turneda blind eye to them. ALL the candidates have previous FIFA connections--the ONLY hope is a white knight come in, perhaps from another sport or from the business world and clear house.

Blatter latest................


http://www.bbc.com/sport/football

Former high-ranking Fifa officials Sepp Blatter, Jerome Valcke and Markus Kattner awarded themselves pay rises and bonuses worth $80m (£55m) over five years, say Fifa lawyers.

Football's governing body revealed the contracts of ex-president Blatter, fired ex-secretary general Valcke and sacked former finance director Kattner one day after a Swiss police raid.

Its lawyers said there was evidence that the trio made "a coordinated effort" to "enrich themselves" between 2011 and 2015.

Documents and electronic data were seized during Thursday's operation, which relates to investigations into Blatter and Valcke.

Suspected of criminal mismanagement of Fifa money, Blatter and Valcke were banned for six and 12 years respectively by the governing body's ethics committee in February. Both deny wrongdoing.

A statement for the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG), which carried out the investigations, read: "Documents and electronic data were seized and will now be examined to determine their relevance to the ongoing proceedings."

Fifa said the evidence uncovered by its own internal investigation would be shared with the Swiss Attorney General's office and the US Department of Justice.

Blatter's long-time advisor and spokesman Klaus Stoehlker told BBC Sport he would be ending their professional relationship, adding: "The Fifa volcano is exploding now."

Fifa has been in turmoil since May 2015, when a US investigation exposed widespread corruption at the top of the organisation.
