Only England savages Sepp
ENGLAND’S bosses savaged Sepp Blatter – unlike Europe’s cowardly soccer chiefs

SunSport contacted the FAs of Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland.
And ALL of them were too scared to speak for fear of upsetting the FIFA president.
Blatter, 75, sparked outrage when he claimed racist abuse on the pitch should be settled after the game by a handshake.
Our own FA insisted it took a 'zero tolerance approach' to racism while the Dutch actually accepted Blatter's excuse that he had been misunderstood.
But top club bosses Tony Pulis, Mick McCarthy and Chris Hughton spoke for football across Britain as they demanded Blatter resign.
Wolves chief McCarthy said: "They are outrageous comments from Blatter. I would expect better from a man heading that organisation.
"It is doubtful whether he can remain. I say doubtful but he runs the place. He has got to resign if he is going to go. He shouldn't have said it.
"We have taken huge strides and then the leader of the whole organisation weakens it.
"Let me tell you, if he had racially abused me or my family then I might be shaking his hand with one of my hands, but I couldn't tell you what I'd be doing with the other.
"And you are supposed to forget about it? It's not going to happen."
Birmingham boss Hughton, one of only two black managers in the Football League, said: "For me the massive concern is that one person who heads the world's governing body firstly is allowed to make these comments. They are totally unacceptable.
"He almost seems untouchable. I would think it's very unusual to have one man who can make comments like that and not face consequences."
Stoke chief Tony Pulis rapped: "I'm amazed he's come out with the comments. But who holds HIM to task?
"Who is above Blatter? Is he all-powerful? Is he Almighty?
"Can he say and do what he wants without any comeback?
"One thing it proves is that he's miles away from what is happening in football and in the real world."
For the Love of the Game? - I think not Mr Blatter.
