NFR Fifa Communication Director Sacked

[Roberty]

It's been reported on the BBC website that Fifa communications director Walter De Gregorio has been sacked after telling a joke about the governing body on Swiss TV

The Joke

"If the Fifa president, secretary general and communications director are all travelling in a car, who's driving?

"The police."

Brilliant - worth getting the sack for - I am sure he will have already received job offers

Officially, he wasn't sacked, he resigned...

Officially, he wasn't sacked, he resigned...

Fifa announced in a statement  that De Gregorio had "relinquished his office".
But the BBC understands he was asked to leave by president Sepp Blatter.

Another Fifa fudge?

In any event a brilliant joke

I would have told Blatter to stuff it if you want me out then sack me.

At least he'd know how much compensation to ask for, he won't need another job.
