For the fifth time, this Friday 29 May, 2015 Sepp Blatter will seek another term of four years as President of FIFA ! His confidence that he will be again elected makes this next "Coronation" appear like a waste of time !
As he says of himself "Like a Swiss Goat I plod on and on and on...".
In four years time he will again want to seek re-election as President to ensure that the preparations for the Finals of the World Cup in Qatar proceed smoothely. Let us not forget that from the moment when Qatar was elected to Host the 2022 World Football Cup Finals, there was endless suspicion and controversy, even about the construction of the Football facilities.
What has marked this Presidential election is the total absence of democracy. There has been -
- No debate by candidates
- No official presentation and debate of changes that candidates propose to undertake
- No publication of the redacted Garcia Report which President Blatter promised on December 19, 2014, (but without indicating the date when he would publish the Report) !
- No firm promises of what he intends to do as President during the next 4 years
- No imperial reason has been given why "HE" so desperately needs to be re-elected again !
There are executives in FIFA who are well aware of what is going on in FIFA. The way the President has conducted affairs appears scandalous. The reputation of FIFA has been sullied and indirectly that of Switzerland as well.
.
Faithful football followers can only hope that if Blatter is re-elected, someone in the FIFA executive will tell Blatter what supporters of football think of his conduct of the FIFA affairs !
