It's been a slow burner but it's picking up momentum - Blatter's downfall will be his arrogance.
He has believed until now that he is untouchable due to having enough block vote in his back pocket to get him elected at will, and that belief has led to him saying some bizarre things from time to time - his latest attempt to claim racism has backfired bigtime though, and has directly led to the president of the Dutch FA to call for him to step down from the future election after citing that and the taint of corruption as his reasons - he has a point when he says Blatter is the head of FIFA and he is responsible for what it has become.
Our own FA has had an ongoing feud with FIFA for quite a while to it's no surprise seeing Dyke trying to capitalise - the Dutch involvement is a new one to me though.
I think we're close to the tipping point where he can't survive, which I didn't expect to be saying at all - I was pretty much resigned to having to wait for the Grim Reaper to do us a favour.
