FA chief Greg Dyke doesn't believe Sepp Blatter 'will last four years'

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has warned Sepp Blatter his support among FIFA members is crumbling fast.

Despite a damaging week for FIFA that involved the arrests of seven of its officials on corruption charges, Blatter was re-elected for a fifth term as president on Friday, beating his rival Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan by 133 votes to 73.

Dyke, a long-time critic of Blatter, said after the election that his adversary had been given a "bloody nose'' because of the fact that major nations in Europe and South America voted against the Swiss.

The FA chairman expects more people will help the Swiss and American authorities in their bid to prove corruption is rife among FIFA - and that will only spell bad news for the organisation's head.

"I don't think he will last four years because he hasn't got a lot of support and that is only going to get worse for him,'' Dyke said.

"It's not going to get better once these guys start ending up in court. How many of them are going to take a plea bargain?

"People in my position, in Holland and Germany have all had enough.

"It was pretty rough, pretty hostile out there [in Zurich] against Blatter.''

Dyke believes there is no doubt the British people want to see Blatter out.

"Every time I say something about Blatter people stop me in the streets and shake my hand,'' Dyke said with a smile.

Public support will clearly not be enough to oust the 79-year-old Swiss. Dyke wants UEFA to unite behind its leader Michel Platini and put pressure on Blatter.

''It does require real leadership and Mr. Platini has now got to stand up. He stood up and criticised Sepp Blatter, he's now got to lead the opposition,'' Dyke told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.

''There would certainly be us, there would certainly be the Dutch, there would certainly be the Germans who have been demanding change and would demand change.

''They would only take serious action if there's enough [opposition willing to act] because otherwise it's pointless.''

Should Platini reject the opportunity, Dyke would accept an alternative challenger.

He said: "We are in the 'anyone but Blatter' camp.

"He [Blatter] can't keep dismissing everyone.''

Talk of a boycott has been rife since the dramatic events in Zurich unfolded, but Dyke said England should not go it alone and stage a one-nation World Cup boycott.

He said: ''There's absolutely no point England saying, 'We're not going to take part [in the World Cup], we're going to boycott it', because our fans and players would not thank us for it and it would have no impact.

''If we could get 10 large countries to do the same thing then I think you could have a big impact.''
