UEFA plot political war as Sepp Blatter wins FIFA presidential vote
SEPP BLATTER last night won his battle to remain as President of FIFA when Prince Ali Bin Hussain withdrew from the contest after losing the first round of voting.
However, it looks set to be a short-term success with UEFA already drawing up battle plans to wage political war on FIFA until Blatter falls on his sword.
The 133-73 win was not quite the two-thirds majority necessary to secure outright victory but the Jordanian prince decided to spare the 209 FIFA delegates an inevitable second straight-majority vote.
UEFA chief executive Michel Platini had already told Blatter to resign on the eve of the elections and followed it with a veiled threat after the result was announced.
