Fifa president Sepp Blatter holds talks with executives


FIFA president Sepp Blatter is in talks with his executives about the direction the governing body is going with people now judging Fifa after the 2018 and 2022 world cup bid scam.


Blatter said FIFA was working to restore public confidence and credibility but that the reform process would take some time.


"It's very important for me personally at the helm of football to restore more, to restore credibility and then to breathe in the new year again with good attitude," he said.


FIFA who are yet to publish the investigation reports, say it will take time and there could be no time frame.


Blatter said he was the one to convince FIFA executives to publish it at all.


"I was able then to convince all the members of the executive committee, and we had for once, and that was happy, the unity," he said.


On the other hand, Blatter could be set to compete for another term as the FIFA president as he considers his options.


Jennings, who has spent years probing FIFA, said Blatter would fight on despite being "far past his sell-by date".


"Blatter will attempt to run because he's got to keep a lid on what's been going on inside their Zurich headquarters," Jennings said.


"He will forever be away from [properly reforming FIFA] because he's the cause of most of these problems ... the secretive way that Blatter has run FIFA, allowed it to become corrupt.


"We've seen the departure of several executive members over the last two years, but Blatter never says 'I'm glad that rogue has gone'.

"I mean this is the world of the gangster who doesn't ever mourn what the rest of, or comment on what the rest of the world comments on. He is at the heart of all the problems.


"It's all happened on his watch and I would think it's shocking if Australia's, if the FIFA were to back him.


"In fact, it's time they spoke out. They're skulking in their Sydney offices, silent. Australians, everybody else demands that they speak out."
