10 Things Sepp Blatter Wants You To Forget

If ever the world was to succumb to a nuclear war, chances are the planet would be survived by cockroaches. Or that’s how the oft-quoted myth goes. ‘Myth,’ that is, because cockroaches aren’t actually that resistant to radiation, and also because it doesn’t factor in the endurance of one Sepp Blatter.

When Sepp won re-election in 2011, he brought with it the promise that this would be his last term before retirement. But then again Sepp says a lot of things that aren’t true. He also said after retiring he’d turn to football media, but it’s hard to envisage Sepp popping up on the Match Of The Day set alongside Messrs Lineker and Shearer. 

He is a man made rich by FIFA after all, with an estimated $1million salary that doesn’t even factor in the numerous bonuses and other perks of the job.

So just like with everything else he says, we should take his promises of retirement with a large pinch of salt. Because like with most politicians, Sepp has a tendency to say whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear. And assuming the FBI doesn’t somehow incriminate him in the ongoing corruption scandals, then the sad fact is Sepp is here to stay for as long as Sepp sees fit.
