Blatter welcomes McBeth replacement

Sepp Blatter today added his voice to mounting criticism of John McBeth, the Scot dramatically dumped as Britain’s FIFA vice-president following an extraordinary attack on African and Caribbean nations.

In his address to the FIFA Congress, where he is due to be re-elected for a third presidential term later today, Blatter supported the move to get rid of McBeth after his criticism of the Swiss lawyer and his comments on African and Caribbean football associations.
