FIFA FIASCO GOES ON !

Suddenly yesterday it was announced that Michael Garcia had resigned !  The immediate impression this conveyed was that his 430 page report had not been approved by the FIFA executives.

It means that the long FIFA saga (or fiasco) will go on.  After all, have there not been accusations of fraud (vote buying) since the adoption of Russia and Qatar as hosts for the coming World Cup Finals ?  Was that not why Blatter said he needed another term (his 4th of 4 years) as President so that he could investigate allegations ?

From Press reports it seems Blatter is already confident that he will be elected for a 5th term next year !

How long will this sorry "Saga" go on for ?  If Al Capone could read this story he would die laughing !  To get his way his methods were simple and more rapid !

If UEFA and other regional football organisations proposed to withdraw from FIFA and the World Cups in protest, this would perhaps act as a "Wake-up call" for World Football everywhere ! 

The next Blatter "re-election" as President cannot be allowed to become another one horse race as in 2011 !
