UPDATED - SEPP BLATTER RESIGNS

They have called a press conference for 5pm today

And announced his resignation

FIFA doesn't do unscheduled news conferences very often. I certainly don't think it will be Blatter resigning though. I imagine it will be something like them confirming David Gill's decision not to be a part of the committee and appointing someone new. Knowing Sepp, he will claim they never wanted Gill anyway!

The 'new' guy is from the FAW, I believe!

Delayed until 5.30pm.

Sepp Blatter resigns.

He's on the plane to somewhere with no extradition agreement....

Great day for football!

Boooooom!!!

Great day for football but I'm not convinced his replacement will be any better. I think as an entire organisation its corrupt to its core and any replacement would be better off disbanding it and announcing a new governing body with a new name he will take charge of. As an entire entity, FIFA has no credibility left whatsoever. FIFA was not just corrupt because of Blatter. As an organisation, veins of corruption ran through it from all over the place.

Allan, yes it is...but the words I'd use would be "stitched up by Gill and others!"

Personally, I believe the FAW guy (sorry, can't remember his name) shouldn't take the job on principle after the way he was so unceremoniously pushed aside!

Probably Zimbabwe where he'll be made minister for finance.

Hello sir,

Please deposit 1 billion euro into my Zimbabwean bank account. In return i guarantee you my vote and support for the world cup in location of your choice sir.

It is best if you send monies via western union to ensure prompt delivery of monies with no problem. Only when I have complete payment for my son to go to international school of Zimbabwe to get best education monies can buy, will I confirm my vote via news channel of your choice.

Thank you kind sir,

FIFA representative.

Fifa's Bust Innit. I wonder what was found to finally make him walk? Now"s the time for a complete overhaul otherwise the same corrupt nations will just vote their choice of bent replacement. I see no way that Russia and Qatar can not be investigated and stripped of the WC if found guilty of corruption. Qatar should be reversed immediately to stop worker deaths.

Sepp Blatter resigns.
