Last Tuesday there was jubilation, but there were also tears and expressions of incredulity, when Blatter announced that he was "going to resign" !
The next day he was back in his office as usual !
In his dramatic, televised announcement he said that he would organise another Presidential Election in accordance with FIFA rules. This would take place at the end of the year.
First of all, how can you organise a FIFA Presidential Election when there is still a President legally in office for the next 4 years ? Should Blatter not resign legally now !
Secondly, when a President "resigns" so dramatically, particularly when there are active ongoing investigations in Switzerland and the USA, should an Administrator, independent of FIFA not be appointed to perform the functions of President on a temporary basis ?
Thirdly, should a President who is not above all suspicion, be allowed back into his office ? What are the functions only "HE" can perform ? Would it not be a better standard procedure to lock him out of his office, so that he could not be tempted to do a "redaction" of certain files ?
A FIFA Administrator must be named in his place quickly and before everyone in Switzerland leaves for their annual Holiday !
