Your support makes all the difference.Football Association chairman David Bernstein yesterday insisted he would be against an attempt by Sepp Blatter to extend his reign as Fifa president.
Blatter's fourth term of office ends in 2015 but despite stipulating in 2011 he would not run for president again, he has suggested he may seek re-election.
The 76-year-old Swiss is currently the focus of a bribery investigation and has been advised to resign by German Football League president Dr Reinhard Rauball.
