The election of the President of FIFA, or even his re-election, is now only one week away !!! Neither candidate, Sepp Blatter who is now seeking a fourth term as President, nor Bin Hammam, who has obtained the hosting of the 2022 World Cup for Qatar, have met publicly to explain in more detail their intentions over the next four years if elected !!!
This fact is inadmissible of an organsation which is supposed to have the interests of more than a Billion people at its heart !!! This blog has repeatedly said that FIFA needs a fundamental reform.
Sepp Blatter has recently promised that he will not seek a re-election in 2015 !!! Can this be believed if by then he has not finished all he starts to modernise FIFA !!! Like now he will then plead for more time again !!!
When leaders do not want to stand down, not seek re-election, not modernise procedures, not take into account the wishes of their electorate, revolutions suddenly take place. This we have repeatedly seen in arab countries and elsewhere, in recent years.
Could this not happen in the world of FIFA ? If a petition is signed by all 200+ members of FIFA demanding an Extraordinary Meeting to adopt a draft revision of the Statutes of FIFA within three months, would nothing happen ?
If nothing happens, what would FIFA do then if all the members refused to pay any new monies due to FIFA until changes are made to its organisation ?
