	Observer \| Will Fifa vote for a clean-up?
		Issa Hayatou should, in theory, easily have the votes to topple Sepp Blatter as FIFA President.
		And Hayatou, the Cameroonian head of the African Football Confederation, enjoys powerful allies in the shape of his Uefa counterpart Lennart Johansson and Chung Mong-joon, the Korean who was considering running for football's top job himself but has instead decided to form an anti-Blatter alliance for change.
		But if Hayatou's message in the next ten weeks is mainly about introducing openness, honesty and accountability within Fifa, he could find himself outflanked by a Blatter promising a superfically more attractive package to this electorate.

		Hayatou will be hoping that Blatter's failure to deliver the 2006 World Cup to Africa will be as damaging to his prospects as the internal inquiry into the scale of the organisation's losses through it's links to the troubled marketing company ISL.
		As a keen amateur footballer and all-round sportsman in his native Cameroon, he was a member of the national basketball team and once the 800 metres champion.
		It looks like Hayatou will have to rely on that record and a whole lot more before he can count on the votes of his fellow Africans.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Blatter vote looks solid in FIFA’s presidential showdown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It was a canny political stroke, and Blatter knows full well that, with the one-nation, one-vote system, he will probably beat Hayatou, however commendable the campaign run by the African, which was based on the need for transparency and accountability, and was supported by the Scottish and English FAs.
		Hayatou, 53, has pledged to maintain the grant system if elected, but the rest of his manifesto, including reducing the number of World Cup spots for South America and giving them to the developing world, do not seem to have convinced the majority of countries.
		Given that north and south America are firmly behind Blatter, Hayatou’s hopes of victory could hinge on how effectively he manages to persuade wavering nations between now and Wednesday.
