FIFA HIT BY FRESH RESIGNATION

FA DIRECTOR Heather Rabbatts has followed fellow board member David Gill in making a stand against entrenched FIFA corruption under Sepp Blatter’s presidency. Rabbatts, one of the FA’s two independent directors, has helped keep the heat on Blatter by resigning from FIFA’s anti-discrimination task force. The task force chairman is FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb, who is in custody in Switzerland along with the six others arrested last Wednesday pending extradition for questioning in the USA. The 54 UEFA countries meet in Berlin ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final to decide their next move. All options, including a World Cup boycott, are still on the table.
