This sounds more like spoon-feeding some of the internet’s finer football satire sites, and if Sepp’s legacy is overwhelmingly known for one thing, it will be providing the internet and blogdom for an incessant stream of content.

But yes, FIFA will be creating an “independent” anti-corruption committee.

To be chaired by Jack Warner, vice-chaired by Luciano Moggi and a unicorn, and featuring a parliamentary system stocked with club owners from the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group.

Seppspeak:

He aims to present the project to FIFA's congress of 208 football nations in June, where he will stand for presidential re-election seeking a fourth four-year term in office.

"This committee will strengthen our credibility and give us a new image," said Blatter, who acknowledged last month that FIFA "can't go on like this" after the World Cup voting process damaged the governing body's reputation

And then came the punch line.

"I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at FIFA," Blatter said.

The room then looked around confused before bursting into rapturous laughter, with the stenographer closing the bracket and documenting these minutes as oMg jk ROFLMAO!!!.

FIFA: What’s in an acronym?
