Greg Dyke keen to see FIFA escape the shackles of Sepp Blatter

FIFA was on Friday set to vote in its first new president since 1998, with Football Association chairman Greg Dyke warning the world governing body cannot be allowed to regenerate into another Sepp Blatter-style cult.

Five candidates are running to succeed Blatter, who was voted in on five occasions, including last May, and made their final pitches to delegates at confederation meetings in Zurich on Thursday.
