London: Sepp Blatter has been described as a "lame duck president" by his former FIFA colleague Jack Warner. The Trinidadian, a former FIFA vice-president, has urged Blatter to go now rather than wait for the appointment of a successor.

Warner said: "You can't say you are stepping down and then stay for several more months. You can't do that. You can't do that. You will be a lame duck president."
