The "Blatter Out" campaign breezed through Tokyo on Monday as Issa Hayatou, FIFA boss Sepp Blatter's rival for the presidency, and his South Korean ally, Dr. Chung Mong Joon, held a press conference to state their case for a new broom in FIFA.
Hayatou and Chung reiterated their views on FIFA president Blatter and said that the only way forward was for the Swiss president to be replaced. Hayatou is Blatter's sole opposition candidate in the election that will be held on May 29 in Seoul.
"We need someone accountable and responsible in charge of FIFA," Chung stated in a thinly disguised attack on the present FIFA chief. "At the moment, FIFA is in an organizational, political and financial crisis."
