“I think Sepp Blatter is in danger, or has reached a point where he is being mocked within the game,” Ferguson said in an interview with GQ Magazine.
“Whether he’s getting too old, I don’t know. But these things happen to people in power. Look at some of the despots in Africa. From a position of great power, he has uttered so many ridiculous statements that he is in danger of seriously damaging his credibility.
Sir Alex obviously talking about Blatter’s comments on Ronaldo’s summer saga, when he compared Ronaldo’s situation to that of a slave
“When he came out with that stuff it created a furore and rightly so, the year after the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of slavery.”
I completely agree with Sir Alex. Unfortunately Blatter was recently “re-elected” for another four years on May 31 2007. Even though only 66 of 207 FIFA members nominated him, reinforcing the claims of corruption surrounding the current FIFA president.
