      Which remins me of one of my favourite sporting jokes.

                      Someone Blatter is still running FIFA. Despite calls for his resignation from:

                      • Budweiser

                      • Coca Cola

                      • McDonald's

                      • Visa

                      Who are four of FIFA's biggest sponsors…

                          Got to give it to him.  He has a sense of humour:

                          In a statement released through his lawyers on Friday, Blatter said resigning now "would not be in the best interest of Fifa, nor would it advance the process of reform".

                            FIFA have suspended him for 90 days!

                            No doubt due to pressure from sponsors!  😉

                                Platini is even worse, I remember him crying and begging Blatter to leave to save Fifa but what he really meant was that he should take the throne to earn the big money instead of old chap Josef. Such freaking hypocrites…

                                  What better "qualification" to succeed the Seppl than to be suspended together with him? I would not be surprised at all if Monsieur Platini becomes FIFA head after all. Platini received close to two million € for "services rendered nine years ago", nice! Naturally, when you are truly big rollers, such small change can easily get overlooked.

                                  The only citation that comes to my mind is the famous Max Liebermann dictum: "I can't devour as much as I want to barf up" (sorry for any flaw with my extemporaneous translation from German).

                                  Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                                      Fifa president Sepp Blatter's payment to Uefa chief Michel Platini was a "conflict of interest", says Domenico Scala, chairman of the world governing body's audit and compliance committee.
                                      Swiss Blatter, 79, and Frenchman Platini, 60, are both suspended while Fifa studies reports that a £1.35m payment was made in 2011 for work Platini did as Blatter's adviser.
