After his re-election last week, I assumed we were in for four more years of sleaze and corruption at football world governing body, FIFA. However, yesterday it was announced that Sepp Blatter had resigned his post as president.
Perhaps he read my comments in these pages a few days ago and decided to do the honourable thing for the sake of football.
More likely the news that he is also to be investigated along with his money grabbing cronies, forced him to fall on his sword. Whatever the reason, it has to be a great day for football.
Now FIFA must elect the right person to lead them and ensure that everything possible is done to eradicate the corruption. If that includes having another vote on the venues for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup competitions, then so be it.
As a footnote I noticed that one wit had posted online this picture of a new mystery candidate for the FIFA presidency role.
Now who could that be?
