We all expected that any competition with Sepp Blatter for presidency would be squashed by allegations of corruption as it was this past week. Now Sepp says he wants to clean up the mess he help make by bringing on a former Secretary of State whom we all thought was dead in Henry Kissinger, Johan Cruyff who wants every club and national team in the world to play like Barca, and opera legend Domingo (FIFA lost me with this choice) to serve on...wait for it...."The FIFA Council of Wisdom". Am I crazy here or if you want to clean up an organization of football, shouldn't you have people (like Zidane) that are connected to the sport serve as your council? Or better yet, why does Sepp even need a council? FIFA has fallen even lower with this. What do the rest of you think?

It's a hollow attempt to look like FIFA's fighting corruption even as Sepp himself remains kingpin. Nothing more. I suspect he thinks this will make him look more innocent when the reality is everyone can see right through it. If anything, it's even further proof that he's trying desperately to hide something. Not that it was needed.

What I can't figure out is how he managed to get to the top in the first place. Pointy haired boss syndrome???

It's funny how the whole world knows this guy is as corrupt as it comes and he still manages to maintain his position. I'd almost say you'd have to give it to him for that.

He's packed FIFA with cronies and yes men, and scared the rest into line with threats of tremendous retribution and huge payoffs.

(^ this is not directed at you, Dan ... more adding onto your point ... it is a general question/rhetorical to anyone who's got something against Blatter based on ethics ...)

And that means we must condone it?

nope ...

At long last the sh1t has hit the fan. Still a few heads that need to roll yet including Blatter. Confirms what we've always known about Warner.

Fifa and Warner should not be allowed to get away with this either. Warner's resignation should not be the end of the matter. He should be nicked.
