Blatters resignation and the FBI

Apparently Blatter met with two members of the FBI the weekend before his resignation. He was told, in no uncertain terms, that unless he resigned his own dealings would be made public. He was told that if he resigned he would be allowed to go quietly. This may or may not be suitable stuff for the article. That is up to others to decide. 213.114.44.178 (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Source? Juan Riley (talk) 16:56, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Negative source. The Guardian (e.g.) says merely that he was "told by those closest to him that the walls were closing in"- and that was highly unlikely to be the FBI! (Good article here) _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 13:22, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blatter comments re resignation from June 25

This was added by a new user and immediately reverted. The substance should be included. I edited substantially - took out most of the long quotes. Objections to the material should be raised here - or edits made to have the new material - simple reversions are not appropriate. --Trödel 18:07, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Date of FIFA Congress

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Sepp Blatter. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The date for the FIFA Congress to decide on Blatter's successor is February 26, 2016. 82.6.166.179 (talk) 23:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
