The breaking news, that several FIFA executives have been arrested in their Zurich hotel early this morning, immediately raises the question whether Sepp Blatter, the outgoing President, will delay the Election scheduled for Friday, 29 May 2015 !
A climate of suspected fraud has been hanging around FIFA and its executives ever since FIFA refused to publish the Michael Garcia 350 page report last year. A 42 page summary of this report by Eckert was slated by Garcia as being erroneous, and he immediately resigned from FIFA.
Sepp Blatter cannot now be sure of his automatic re-election in the absence of key FIFA executives ! There may even be further arrests in the coming hours and days.
Will Blatter now delay the FIFA Presidential Election for a few months ? Would that not be the wisest decision ?
Nothing in FIFA will ever be the same again from now on !
