Right, you’ve had a good chuckle watching Sepp Blatter resign but your thirst for ridicule isn’t quite quenched – I like where your head is at.
Fear not fellow Sepp haters, we’re about to take a stroll down memory lane with the soon to be ex-president’s best quotes and boy, does this man have some pearlers. ABC helping us out with the rundown here:
Crisis? What is a crisis? Football is not in a crisis.
Blatter in May 2011 amid an earlier major corruption scandal.
Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men — such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?
Blatter in 2004 talking about women’s football.
I know, you’re thinking he didn’t really say that did he? He did and, as you can imagine, fans of women’s football don’t exactly send him Christmas cards. But no, ignorance is bliss:
I consider myself a little bit as a godfather of the organisation of women’s football in FIFA.
Blatter in 2015, urging a better marketing of women’s football ahead of the World Cup in Canada.
Every game should have a winner. When you play cards or any other game, there’s always a winner and a loser. We should have the courage to introduce a final decision in every game of football.
Blatter in 2004 when proposing the possibility of abolishing draws and making goal posts wider apart.
To be fair there are many football fans who have called for such measures but they call the game soccer, hail from the US and voted George Bush in for a second term of presidency so we shouldn’t take their advice too seriously. Our final quote from Sepp then:
There are not many names the media haven’t thrown at me in the last few years. I would be lying to you if I said it did not hurt. You ask yourself: ‘What have I done?’
Blatter in 2014 discussing his treatment by the international media.
Well sorry old chap but that name-calling is set to get worse before it gets better. The investigations into your illicit dealings are in full swing and you shouldn’t expect those below you to do anything other than squeal at the first sign of trouble.
