Don't be stupid. If Blatter had wanted Prince Ali bin Hussein anywhere near the job he'd have stood down before the election. He's done it now so he can manouvre one of his cronies into position.

6ft Kerplunk Lovely stuff on FIFA from John Oliver on Last Week Tonight. Blatter's resignation should make for an interesting follow up based on what he said he'd do if Blatter quit.
Super Kevin Bremner! My rant on the matter is this. As a kids football manager it's really disappointing that to buy a team set of Adidas shirts we have to scrape around for sponsors, collect subs from parents etc to raise £400-500, when a Premier League club gets paid £100m for the same privilege. Will that change (or for that matter will anything else promoting British grass roots football) change now the allegedly corrupt head of FIFA has resigned? Will it f@ck. And for that reason I couldn't give less of a sh1t about the whole debacle, or who gets the World Cup. As long as it's played somewhere in the World, it counts doesn't it? People are doing my nut in saying they feel brilliant now Blatter's gone. Real people doing real football on your own doorstep know full well FIFA means nothing to what we get up and do every Sunday morning, so get off your f@cking high horses.
Ps I heard an argument that FIFA should be leaving legacies in these countries hosting the World Cups. Apparently football is really important to boosting 3rd world economies etc.
In any successful ecological society, football, or any loved sport for that matter, should only ever be the cherry on top of the cake, and not the sugar, flour and eggs. It's politicians and governments that should be acting to leave legacies where children have role models and a safe environment to live, play and develop in. Not football associations.
Football is just cabaret, a game that people have to keep them happy in their spare time, but the whole thing is an ugly entity as an industry because the rich just f@cking dominate everything all the time.
