Clive Efford MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Sport, responding to the suspension of Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini, said

“It is clear that there is no prospect of FIFA being reformed by anyone associated with the old regime.

“FIFA needs new leadership and should place itself in administration under a body led by someone with no history of involvement in its corrupt past to clean up its reputation.  This is the only chance left of restoring credibility to the governance of world football.”
