FIFA is no longer fit for purpose. After an extraordinary week of allegations and counter allegations made by some of football's most trusted and respected guardians (don't laugh too hard), the governing body erupted into full-on internecine warfare in Zurich on Sunday.
Of course, one should always assume innocence until guilt is proven - and innocent is exactly what Sepp Blatter is after an exhaustive two-day investigation - but the sheer weight of corruption allegations and the fact the organisation finds itself being torn asunder by civil war surely dictates that it cannot function as, ideally, it should.
Laughably though, FIFA still appears determined to press ahead with Wednesday's presidential election. That's right, the election between the man who for 13 years has had this great game entrusted to him and has presided over arguably the most severe degradation in its history and, er, no one.
Frankly, ED suspects that Zimbabwe has orchestrated more appealing elections.
Blatter's only challenger, Mohamed bin Hammam, pulled out of the race late on Sunday night after it was alleged he offered bribes to officials from the Caribbean Football Union in order to secure their votes. However, Bin Hammam made clear that his decision should not "be tied to the investigation held by the FIFA ethics committee".

From the day Qatar won the world cup play in that country the evil people have started hunting the so called the bad guys and all because of the Caribbean footballers does this ring your bells they do not give up do they, suppose UK, or Europe may have won would you think any witch hunting would take place, because I haven seen any enquires since Europe have been wining the world cup play well over 50 years, so what do you have to add to this allegations.
