FIFA corruption arrests
Discussion
According to BBC Website Teflon Jack Walker was whisked away from prison in an ambulance, but 2 hours later was at a party or something laughing and joking with people, even dancing.
If someone can do this then what can change?
I expect Blatter to be re-elected there are too manycorrupt small countries who get a chunk of money from FIFA and they don't want that turned off.
And to be honest why would they? We've all seen what happens when the big clubs / countries run something, you get the Champions League who's sole aim is for the same 16 clubs to play in a little tournament of their own year after year in as many games as possible. God forbid a big club gets knocked out by a once in a lifetime qualified team from Albania because they weren't up for it. We need them to have 3 or 4 chances to get to the top of the group
Based on this the World Cup would alternate between Europe and the US with occasional sojourns to Brasil.

Me too. One country one vote means the largesse he has handed to his sycophants (and probably worse), equals plenty of votes from those with their snouts in the FIFA trough.
I think he'll get plenty of votes. There are too many people who will be in the s

Yep. And Blatter himself knows that he is only safe while in place. Once he goes, he will be in jail within months, I expect.t when this finally falls apart, they'll do all they can to delay that moment. For them Blatter is the best hope.

No, he'll move to some small Country he's helped (without a US extradition treaty) and live out a life of luxury. (have you heard most of the African countries comments about him being a "god")BrabusMog said:
I can't see the sponsors actually walking away
They won't. They've invested too much for too long to bin everything now. They also know that this kind of sponsorship is a very powerful tool for them, providing a big return on investment. Even if they did leave there'd be no shortage of tier one outfits happy to step up and take their place. FIFA knows all that. This ludicrous voting process is classic Blatter. 'Look at us, feel our integrity'.
