Sepp Blatter having second thoughts about resigning as FIFA President

Sepp Blatter is considering staying on as FIFA president, despite handing in his resignation in early June, according to Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag.
The paper quoted an unnamed source close to Blatter saying that he "had received messages of support from African and Asian football associations" asking him to rethink his decision to step down.
Former FIFA governance adviser Michael Hershman had told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap earlier this month that he too was uncertain whether Blatter would walk away.
FIFA will set a date for the new presidential election next month, and it is expected to take place on Dec. 16, although the European Parliament has urged the 79-year-old to walk away immediately.
However, Schweiz am Sonntag said experts at FIFA doubted whether any of those vying to succeed Blatter, including former Brazil star Zico, could command a majority.

Kind of reminds me of that movie "The Wolf of Wall Street".

That's what I'm talking about Sepp... Let's make this thing really blow up. Seemed way too smooth.

The odds of Blatter being arrested just went up

How aren't there multiple investigations into the African and Asian constitutions
Guilty as sin when it comes to corruption but the same Associations continue to back him....I wonder why

Because Blatter is still in charge. And that's why the African and Asian folks are begging/paying him to stay in charge.

John Oliver will be pissed about drinking the bud light lime.

I'm beginning to wonder if Blatter is starting to suffer from Alzheimer's or dementia. His actions and statements are starting to past their normal Blatter level of stupidity.

I don't see that happening.

Sepp Blatter was warned from within FIFA on Sunday not to attempt to backtrack on his pledge to quit as president.
Domenico Scala, who is overseeing the presidential election, said that a leadership change is an essential component of the far-reaching reforms required to overhaul FIFA amid deepening criminal investigations into soccer corruption.

Not surprising that Sepp is getting the Axis Powers back together to generate support for his noble cause
