out of the same article...We need young and creative leadership at Fifa – the kind of leadership that is inclusive and open to new ideas. We need a football culture, not a mafia culture.
Why are we all just passively accepting this corruption? Enough is enough.
We want our game back.

Fifa has announced it will hold a news conference at 10:00 BST, during which it will comment about this morning's arrests.
The FBI will hold a news conference in New York later this afternoon, around 15:00 BST.
More from BBC Sport's Richard Conway, from the Fifa hotel: "It's too early to say if the election will go ahead. The indication from officials this morning is they see no reason why it should not.
"Sep Blatter, from what we understand, has not been arrested. Prince Ali of Jordan who is also at this hotel has not been affected.

"In theory there is no reason why the elections should not go ahead but the impact of this could be seismic.
"The arrests could have a significant impact on the voters, we will have to see the fall out."

De Gregorio: "This is good for FIFA."
Away from the press conference, the US department of Justice has released a statement to the media saying 14 defendants have been charged with "racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies" over a 24-year period.
Four individual defendants and two corporate defendants have pleaded guilty.
Acting US attorney Kelly T Currie said: "After decades of what the indictment alleges to be brazen corruption, organised international soccer needs a new start.
"It needs a new chance for its governing ins utions to provide honest oversight and support of a sport that is beloved across the world, increasingly so here in the United States.
"Let me be clear: this indictment is not the final chapter in our investigation."
