Michael Garcia has resigned in the light of FIFA's farcical handling of his 2018/2022 World Cup bidding corruption report. According to the BBC:
'Fifa meets in Morocco this week and will decide whether to release a full, redacted copy of Garcia's report.'
Leaving aside the weird idea of a 'full redacted copy', most sensible folk would bet on FIFA deciding not to release that report. That they're even considering it is presumably a misguided attempt to placate those who accuse FIFA of inaction.
The fact that they are talking about the possibility of publishing the full report with (presumably) names blotted out is interesting though. I reckon that by floating this redacted copy idea they're trying to put across the notion that they've got nothing to hide, but ultimately something will magically prevent full publication in any shape or form and we'll be no further on.

Blatter will get it all swept under the carpet. It will only change when every countries FA goes against him . The English FA stand alone, and he just laughs at them

While the redacted copy will be interesting to read; I am waiting for the day the leaked/hacked version magically appears...
