  • Widespread speculation this morning indicates that Sepp Blatter has already agreed to offer his position to Michel Platini once he finally stands down.



    Blatter was quick to reject the rumours: "The existence of a reported 'deal' between me and Michel Platini for the FIFA Presidency is pure nonsense.



    "The suggestion that I intend to stop my four-year mandate before its end is simply ridiculous."
