Wolves boss Mick McCarthy condemns "outrageous" comments on racism made by Sepp Blatter.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Mick McCarthy has slammed FIFA president Sepp Blatter over his comments on how to deal with racism in football.

Blatter caused widespread uproar on Wednesday when he suggested in an interview that racism on the pitch should be settled between players with a handshake after the game.

The 75-year-old later released a statement claiming that he had been misunderstood.

"They are outrageous comments from Blatter," McCarthy said. "I would expect better from a man heading that organisation.

"It is doubtful whether he can remain. I say doubtful but he runs the place. He has got to resign if he is going to go. He shouldn't have said it. We have taken huge strides and then the leader of the whole organisation weakens it.

"Let me tell you, if he had racially abused me or my family then I might be shaking his hand with one of my hands, but I couldn't tell you what I'd be doing with the other. And you are supposed to forget about it? It's not going to happen."

Blatter's views have also attracted the ire of Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the comments "appalling".
