One highly-driven investigative reporter, Andrew Jennings, has been on the Blatter case for years now and believes the former president will soon be found out..

I gave the FBI the crucial documents that triggered yesterday's arrests. There will be more to come. Blatter is a target.

Players have had their say, and Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany wants more to do be done..

Blatter wasn't sole responsible, more have to follow. Transparency and voting reform, then we move on and bring back ethics. #FIFA

Constant tweeter Gary Lineker weighed in as well..

Blatter has resigned. Can't quite believe it. FIFA always appeared to be such a fine upstanding organisation.

Some sarcasm never goes a miss..

Missing Blatter already!

Gary Neville sensed some suspicions..

Why now Sepp?

Rio Ferdinand was hoping not all the recent allegations are true..

Are Fifa & Blatter guilty of all of these accusations?? Obviously time will tell but for football's sake I hope this is a major wind up!

The former Manchester United defender also put forward his ideal candidate to replace Blatter..

David Gill…..do the honourable thing & please step forward #Fifa

— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) June 2, 2015

However, the former Red Devils chief executive David Gill is reportedly not interested in the vacant position..

Who will replace Sepp Blatter? FIFA vice-president David Gill is not expected to express any interest in becoming FIFA president. #SSNHQ

Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein was the only man to go up against Blatter in the recent elections and he is the 11/10 favourite with Coral to obtain that role.

Michel Platini is also regarded as a possible replacement at 6/4, while probably football fans’ choice Luis Figo is 13/2 and Gill available at 50/1.
