Sepp Blatter has presided over the most corrupt era in the history of FIFA. While not suggesting he has been involved in any impropriety, he is certainly guilty of not noticing half his executive committee has done enough to either been found guilty of or implicated in backhanders, bungs and golden envelopes.
In any other sport or industry the top man would either have the decency to step aside, or if not, be stripped of his job by his peers. Blatter has a very special arrogance and would not even consider resigning while 186 national associations around the world this week decided Sepp was the right man to lead what they call the FIFA family for another four years.
It is easy to understand why and it must be remembered that in re-electing the president the votes of Spain, Germany, Japan or England count as much as those from Ethiopia or Ventura.
