You Bet Blatter Looks To Splatter Bernstein
Sepp Blatter looks set to be awarded another four years in charge of FIFA and William Hill are offering 4/6 that he serves the whole of his term and FIFA get a new President in 2015. FIFA are 9/4 to get a new President in 2011. One of the most contentious decisions under Blatter was the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Despite the fact that the temperatures usually soar into the 40s during the summer in Qatar, Hills offer 1/5 that the 2022 World Cup Final takes place between June and August of that year.
David Berstein has been particularly scathing in his appraisal of FIFA and Blatter. Hills offer 2/7 that the FIFA chief now outlasts the FA Chairman. Blatter is 5/2 to leave his job before Bernstein.
The FIFA / FA row looks set to rumble on, but Blatter now looks to have the upper hand once more and the odds suggest he will outlast this latest controversy, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
William Hill Odds:
When will FIFA get a new President: 9/4 2011; 7/1 2012; 10/1 2013; 12/1 2014; 4/6 2015
When will 2022 World Cup Final take place: 7/1 Jan May; 1/5 June Aug; 5/1 Sept – Dec
Who will leave their job first: 2/7 Bernstein; 5/2 Blatter
