    Give Blatter enough rope with all these statements and eventually he will hang himself

    Vicarious liability:

    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.

    We just have to be resigned to the fact that Blatter WILL remain Fifa President until he drops dead.

    If Russia loses the 2018 World Cup there'll be a spate of high ranking FIFA executives dropping dead in mysterious circumstances.

    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.

    He gets the majority of Asia Oceania Latin America and Africa. Question is if he wins, will UEFA, Australia and US boycott next World Cup.
