Nothing surprises me with that cockroach anymore...
Blatter has now come out with the following:
"More needs to be done to make sure everyone in football behaves responsibly and ethically"
"There can be no place for corruption of any kind"
"I cannot monitor everyone all of the time"
Still refusing to resign, still refusing to take any blame whatsoever. Surely, if Blatter knew about all of this then he's culpable, if he didn't then he's negligent. Either way he has to go.
Love this line... He's saying it as though some ordinary Administrator has accepted a few bribes to ensure Qatar get the World Cup.
Sorry Sepp but Vice-Presidents have been arrested... Your the President which makes YOU their direct boss and superior so you should know what they're doing
Exactly! He makes it sound like he's managing a small office and someone's nicked a stapler whilst his back was turned.
Liability that a supervisory party (such as an employer) bears for the actionable conduct of a subordinate or associate (such as an employee) based on the relationship between the two parties.
In cases of vicarious liability, one person is held liable for the criminal actions of another. Because vicarious liability crimes are a species of liability without fault, this transfer of criminal liability occurs regardless of whether either of the defendants were aware they were committing a crime.
Sepp, how about watching some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time? You never know you might have a clue what the fook is going on in your organisation.
Thankfully for Sepp he has Manuel Lopes Nascimento from the Guinea-Bissau football federation giving him full support. Unfortunately there are scores of minor federations like this that believe Blatter can do no wrong and the odious little crook will no doubt be elected again.
FIFA and Blatter went beyond parody a long time ago but nice to see some potential jail time for these crooks. Just hoping a few more heads roll

But if the large European & North American associations withdrew from FIFA and took their money with them I doubt the likes of Guinea-Bissau will be able to pick up the tab. I think the FA have more power than they think, and I'd imagine the Germans, French, Scandanavians and Americans are like minded.
Where's @Callumcafc when you need him. He knows how to embed a tweet so that those of us who are not allowed Twitter at work can read what you guys are posting.
Strong comment from Richrd Branson.......... I also hope that FIFA’s sponsors will reconsider their commitments beyond the typical statements of concern we are seeing today. Sponsorship money has played a major role in enabling and sustaining this corrupt system for decades, it seems. I couldn’t think of a greater risk to any brand than being described as complicit in what really looks like organised crime. I also heard that Barclays and HSBC, were reported to be getting dragged into this......, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/fifa/11637120/Fifa-bribes-scandal-Police-probe-the-British-connection.html

Perhaps he could use it as another tax saving thing.

What a disgrace he's even got that many. Boycott now.
