Nice guys get nowhere. What is the point in being an unopposed leader if you don't have an icy cold iron fist to rule with? Voting for Figo makes sense if you want to see 'grassroots football at the heart of FIFA'. The world would be getting a humble, fresh, relatively young man with a footballing brain and a genuine love for the sport. But who wants that? Pah. He is obviously not what football is about. Not even close to the mark. Football needs to remember it's bright future will be built upon modern-day Middle-Eastern slavery. Football is about lining the pockets of the rich. Football is about one man's dream to fill stadia with suited and booted corporate robots. That sounds like a plan. Figo is a dreamer. Figo will not win. And you've just read 10 perfectly logical reasons why he is not the right man for FIFA. Yours Mercilessly, Joseph "Sepp" Blatter
