Gary Lineker hits out at FIFA, declaring their running of world football 'a farce'

The BBC presenter also expects Sepp Blatter to remain in power for a fifth term declaring it's "as sure as Christmas is around the corner."

Speaking out: BBC presenter Gary Lineker is unhappy with FIFA's running of football

Lineker, top scorer at the 1986 World Cup also said the administration of football is "just wrong", adding: "The whole thing is a farce. It's said football is the beautiful game, but it's hugely tarnished by what's going on.

"It's come to the stage really where something needs to be done," the 54-year-old former striker said.

"The only way something will really change is if the major federations around the world come together and say 'we have had enough of this'. But don't hold your breath."

FIFA president Blatter is seeking re-election for a fifth term in 2015.

And Lineker believes he will again win the vote - no matter what.

"He's the man right at the top and in any other business, or any other political form of life, that person would go and not be voted for.

"But you'll see, he will be voted in again as sure as Christmas is around the corner."
