Greg Dyke believes that Sepp Blatter’s reign as FIFA president is finally over after major sponsors McDonald’s and Coca-Cola both called for him to resign.

The FA Chairman believes that if the companies that back the world governing body want the 79-year-old to step down then they will get their way.
Dyke, an outspoken opponent of the FIFA chief, told Press Association Sport: "I think this is a game changer. It doesn't matter what Mr Blatter says now, if the people who pay for FIFA want a change they will get a change."
However, the 68-year-old insists that, even if Blatter goes, there is still a lot of work to be done to change the way the game is run.
He added: "What is important is that it isn't just about Mr Blatter standing down, it's about making sure there is a comprehensive and effective reform programme.
"So for those of us who want fundamental change this is good news."
