It doesn't need to stick this time. This has literally torn apart every bit of reputation they had left. I find it extremely hard to believe Sepp Blatter is clueless about it too. I think it's time FIFA was torn down and rebuilt with ex footballers that have the game in mind. As it stands FIFA are on the verge of meltdown. This is a lot bigger and goes a lot deeper than people realize.

My other post from the football thread.
To expand further: No matter how today turns out, FIFA will never be the same again under Sepp Blatter, Uefa will denounce them and I can see them helping European teams boycott FIFA World Cups under the current regime. It still is an absolute disaster.
Next in action once this clears is something that should've never happened, the awarding of the World Cup to both Russia and Qatar, the former being a country that is illegally warmongering in Ukraine, actively homophobic and constantly sanctioned for racial abuse in football as well as the corrupt methods used to achieve the world cup. The latter is 100% corrupt, slave labour, truly dire working conditions as well as countless human rights violations. A country that has very little to do with the footballing world and provides nothing to benefit the sport in any way.
I think it's now feasible that England and the US are immediately placed on standby to host a world cup within a year, I believe they are the two best suited countries from the rounds of bidding that are capable of doing such a task within a tight timeframe given how long this could drag out.
Onto Sepp Blatter, I've watched football since I was a kid, I can't remember the last time I went a week without watching or going to a match, I support Newcastle, I've been to Arsenal matches, United matches, Chelsea matches and even bloody Blackpool matches. I'd like to throw in there that anyone with a similar experience of Football as me is more qualified than Sepp Blatter to run FIFA, that's how bad it is. You have a guy in charge of the governing body at top level that has never played the game at any respectable level, is completely out of touch with any side of the game not to mention how out of touch he is with modern day society. Gays should refrain from doing anything sexual in Russia, Victims of racial abuse should shake hands with the perpetrator and whatever else comes from this dinosaurs mouth.
