Neil Warnock calls for black players to strike

Neil Warnock has suggested that the only way to force out Sepp Blatter is for black players to refuse to play their next international game.

The Fifa president has refused calls to step down from his post after making controversial comments where he claimed that racist incidents during a game should be forgotten about with a handshake at the end of play.

"Racism does happen on the field of play and the shaking of a hand just doesn't put it right," said QPR boss Warnock. "But who is going to sack him? I don't see that anybody is going to sack him.

"I think the only way we could get him out of the situation that he is in if every black player in the country, in every country, refused to play in the next international game. That's the only way. Nothing else is going to get him out until he wants to go."

Blatter has today apologised for his words but said it would be "unfair" if he quit.

"He's a clever old man. You can make any apology sound sincere if you want to," added Warnock. "I don't think he'll give two hoots if I'm honest. Not about England. Some of the other countries put [racism] under the carpet. I look at Spain and it is not as vital or major an issue over there like it is in England."
