FIFA President’s support of C-Ron becomes oh so clear
Sepp Blatter’s ridiculously misplaced comments about “modern slavery” gained the support of just one man: Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Chris Powell of the PFA, an organisation so concerned about player welfare that they will protect Joey Barton, told Blatter to issue a retraction.
Does the Swiss looney really believe anything he has even said though or is there a secret agenda behind every ridiculous word he utters? After all it’s clear the powers-that-be have a problem with English teams dominating Europe, and that Ronaldo joining Real Madrid would appease them as it would weaken the Champions League holders.
Less than six months ago, Blatter hit out at the Court of Arbitration in Sport’s decision to lower the compensation Andy Webster would have to pay Hearts for a breach of contract from £625,000 to just £150,000, labelling it “very damaging for football and a Pyrrhic victory for those players and their agents who toy with the idea of rescinding contracts before they have been fulfilled.”
So why has his tune changed so drastically now that Real Madrid stand to benefit from a player’s lack of respect for his contract? Could it be anything to do with the fact that in November 2006, Ramon Calderon made Blatter an honorary member of Real Madrid?
It’s obscene that such a corrupt man, who has yet to speak sense in his ten years as President, can continue to do and say as he pleases without consequence. The only person close to Blatter on football’s stupid-o-meter right now is Ronaldo for agreeing with him.

At last, someone brave enough to put in print exactly what we all know. Blatter is corrupt and has no right to hold the position he does. As you say re the Webster ruling, . Everytime he opens his mouth he shows himself to be the ignorant fool he is.
The people he is surrounded by are equally corrupt and Platini is just his little lapdog.
UEFA and the FA are too gutless to stand up to the man too.
The fans are powerless to oust this joker but the power of the world press are probably the only ones that could achieve this.

Even the press can’t get rid of him. They tried and it came to nothing. It would help if the press could expose some of his corrupt deals with a few leaks from FIFA but he’s got everyone running scared.

As ever, it seems Blatter has not thought through his most recent verbal splurge. UEFA communications director William Gaillard felt he should add “It would be useful to remind people that slaves in all of the slavery systems never earned a wage”. UEFA seem to be more connected with modern day proffessional football world, compared to the corrupt, outdated and detached World Governing Body. Check out:

“Blatter makes 50 decisions a day; 51 of them wrong.”
What an idiot.
