Since 1998, Joseph Blatter leads FIFA rules the world football body like a little king. That he admits his post because so simple, would be almost a surprise. Even if he has promised exactly on June 2, at the height of the Fifa crisis: a resignation at the end of the year. Now, however, come from Switzerland very different tones. The 79-year-old was thinking about his future career, according to the newspaper “Switzerland on Sunday.” Result of the thoughts: Blatter can allegedly imagine still continue
The reason for this alleged change of course the vehement support for Blatter from the associations in Africa and Asia is mentioned in the report.. This flatters Blatter supposedly so much that he wants to reconsider his resignation announcement, they say.
PR consultant Klaus J. Stöhlker, Blatter’s personal advisor during his re-election, told the newspaper: “It’s hard to find someone who is equal Blatter has built the organization into a global, highly successful company – and he. is a diplomat. ” He further said: “Blatter has a fair chance it now all depends on how he behaves in the next few months..” Moreover Blatter is the “elected president”.
flirted Blatter only, it is one of its power games? Or even a pitch-cheek? So far, FIFA and Blatter office say nothing to the speculation. The take over others, the reactions to the “Switzerland on Sunday” message are clear. Approximately from the German Football Association (DFB): “We know only the media reports from Switzerland that reinforce our clear position: The self-announced by Blatter resignation must now as soon as possible be carried out formally,” said DFB media director Ralf Köttker. Similarly Also Domenico Scala had expressed as chairman of the Fifa Compliance Committee.
According to “Switzerland on Sunday” could Blatter’s change of heart have been the reason for the resignation of media director Walter De Gregorio. This is said to have advised the Fifa boss for a new beginning and an immediate resignation. De Gregorio wanted to request not comment on this issue
Also, for the anti-corruption expert Sylvia Schenk seems a backward roll to be the controversial Fifa boss hardly conceivable. “After what he was nor would otherwise join the sponsors and no one else knows Blatter also “
Always no: has demonstrated that he can not go on,” the head of the Working Group on Sport of Transparency International said “.. Statement of the Uefa
With all protest: complete absurd seems whereabouts Blatter but not to be. Of the possible successor candidates still crystallized out no one who could achieve on the extraordinary congress a majority. So Uefa chief Michel Platini has not yet ruled on a possible candidacy, in backroom talks, the Frenchman will only discuss the situation. Brazil’s former soccer star Zico, the Portuguese former World Footballer Luis Figo or failed against Blatter Jordanian Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein seem currently not to be a majority. It could amount again on Blatter in the end. But
On the other hand speak the investigation of US Attorney on charges of corruption, conspiracy and organized crime around the Fifa, have recently expanded still further.
A complete change of the functionary seems given the massive votes against, although hard to imagine – a certain calculus among the opponents of Fifa reforms wanted corruption expert Schenk but does not rule: “Some Like It sure want so that Blatter remains . Maybe it’s also about preventing certain successor, or perhaps a battle between Africa and Europe. “
