While he waits to find out the results from Bermuda Football Association President and Chairman of the FIFA Appeals Committee Larry Mussenden, Sepp Blatter insists he won't publicly support a candidate in the FIFA election, though he revealed that four of the five men have contacted him about the campaign.
The suspended FIFA president told French radio station RMC that he could not intervene in the February 26th ballot to succeed him.
"I can't, it's not possible," Blatter said, after tantalizing his interviewers by saying that "four of the five candidates contacted me and spoke about it."
Blatter declined to identify the fifth candidate even when it was suggested to be Prince Ali of Jordan, who he beat to win re-election last May.
"You can deduce it was perhaps him that was against me. You are intelligent enough," Blatter said in an interview conducted at a favorite restaurant in Zurich attached to FIFA's former headquarters.
