Who should replace Blatter?

[Fef]

The reign of Sepp Blatter as the President of FIFA rumbles on, bouncing from crisis to crisis with him holding his hands up and saying that he hasn’t done anything wrong, and that he has FIFA’s best interests at heart. February can’t come soon enough.

But who should replace him? Platini has been tarred with the same brush, and many of the other replacements lining themselves up seem to be a little dodgy too.

We need a FIFA President who:

• Loves football and cares about the game
• Is scrupulously honest
• Is well respected by the fans
• Has played football at a reasonable level, and
• He can score a goal with his face.

What do you think? I think he’d be great!

Out of the credible football-related candidates it has to be that middle-eastern prince fella, doesn't it?

Tony Blair

Leave Sepp alone.

The world cup is always a PROPER LAUGH and FIFA 16 is quite good.

Beckham

Not sure if you're joking or not, but I actually think he'd be great. Has enough personal wealth that he'd be doing it for football and not the money.

Barry Kidney


He'd be a lot better than Jose Urethra.

Not joking. I think he would be very good.

Beckham

He'd have to change his name to David Beckhip. It sure would give new meaning to the phrase "Bend it like Beckhip"

A football guy rather than some politician . someone who is a good ambassador and who can then have the suits around him to run the organisation Beckham , Figo etc

Landon Donovan

He has connections to big American money and knows world football. He also has many European friends. He's a great ambassador. Unfortunately he, like Beckham, only knows English and that won't get him votes.

He seems like a very bitter man, certainly wouldn't be my choice.

He might have been bitter with being left off the USMNT but he'll get over it. I heard he wants to get into the ownership ranks so he does have big dreams.

Clare Balding. She seems to get every other gig going.

Ethics committee has recommended Blatter be suspended

I'm losing track - which ethics committee is that - surely not FIFA's own committee?

Yup, the one and same. What's confusing is who can ratify the recommendation given that so many of FIFA's senior executives are suspended or under investigation.

I continue to believe Donovan will get over it but it seems yesterday he came full throttle angered at Jurgen Klinsmann

“Jurgen said many times he wants our players to feel pressure — so if they lose a game they can’t go to the grocery store the next day. If they lose a game, they are getting hammered in the press.

“Well, the same holds true for the coach, and so we had a very poor summer with bad results in the Gold Cup. The last game against Brazil was probably the worst game I’ve seen them play under Jurgen. The reality is that now, anywhere else in the world, if this coach had those results, and they lose this game against Mexico, they’d be fired.

“I think if Jurgen wants to hold all the players to that standard, then he has to be held to that standard too.”
