I suppose when most of their money comes from Russian and Qatari masters the anti-racism campaigns will come to an end

If the western sponsors are out, I imagine it becomes easier for the European FAs to maybe leave one day but I'm sure that's wishful thinking.

Well not all the Western sponsors have left. Apparently Adidas recently signed a contract extension until 2030 and they're aggressively courting Samsung and Pepsi (I think) to replace Sony and Coca-Cola.

All these Euros are going to get about 10 votes each while Sepp washes them out with hundreds from Asia and Africa.

Platini was also a huge supporter of Qatar 2022, so he's not exactly going to run on a campaign of rooting out corruption in FIFA.

Platini would be worse than Blatter and it's only because people mistakenly think he'd be pro-UEFA that he gets support. I think the plan is a zerg of nobodies cause Blatter to stand down and Platini sails in on a wave of Qatari money to "steady the ship"

They probably have more to lose with a jilted Qatar selling everyone out after 2022 is taken away at this point. If they have a revote at all (increasingly unlikely) they will just re-elect Qatar and point to how transparent they were.

Seriously, these guys are gonna get 10 votes each and Blatter will ride to victory on the back of 200 votes from places like Micronesia and St. Kitts.

Yeah, the two big challengers are probably the Jordanian prince and the Dutch FA president (don't remember their names), since they actually went to the trouble of getting backers from each continent like you're supposed to, before announcing their candidacy. I don't know if Jerome Champaigne is even still running.

FIFA changed the rules after the last election so that not just anyone who run. You need to have 3 of the previous 5 years working in football administration and have the backing of a few member nations from different the federations

You'd think a radical idea like using the billions of dollars that FIFA has in reserve to improve the quality of FAs across the world might be a good platform for someone to challenge Blatter, but I guess that's why I'm not running for the presidency.

They've got so much money that they don't even use much of it on this. Its crazy how much they're sitting on doing absolutely nothing with dex_sda posted:I'm just curious to know how they sold the voting system changes in interviews and the press.

Surely someone from the press asked Blatter in an interview 'what the gently caress, man' (in so many words)? I wanna see the response to that
