Bin Hammam Claims His Challenge Forcing Blatter To Reassess Views
ASIA soccer chief Mohamed Bin Hammam reckons FIFA boss Sepp Blatter has been forced to come up with fresh ideas after the Qatari decided to challenge the incumbent in the June 1 presidential election.
"It seems my challenge has made Blatter reassess his view of football's future. Competition is healthy and it is vital to the continual development and progress of the sport that we all hold so close to our hearts," Hammam wrote on his blog on Monday. "Blatter is coming out with fresh suggestions about how to run the game's governing body. These ideas would not have seen the light of day had there not been a challenge to his leadership."
Blatter wrote to all FIFA members urging them to re-elect him after 13 years in charge.
"His manifesto is interesting and I applaud him for rising to the task of thinking about the future and seeking a way to enhance the manner in which FIFA can help the National Associations. However, it directly contradicts his earlier statements, where he once claimed FIFA's budgets were already set, he is now promising additional funding for member associations should he retain his position."
