Football Association chairman Greg Dyke insists that "Sepp Blatter" has to go as FIFA president.
Dyke's forthright comments came after extraordinary events in Zurich and New York on Wednesday as FIFA endured the darkest day in its scandal-strewn history with US investigators blowing the lid on "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption.
The FA chairman rounded on Blatter and dismissed the FIFA president's statement in which he said that he welcomed the investigations by U.S and Swiss authorities.
Dyke said: "Blatter has put out a statement saying now is the time to start rebuilding the trust in FIFA. There is no way of rebuilding trust in FIFA while Sepp Blatter is still there.
"Sepp Blatter has to go. He either has to go through a resignation, or he has to be out-voted or we have to find a third way.
"I think the time has come where the damage this has done to FIFA is so great that it can't be rebuilt while Blatter is there, so UEFA has got to try to force him out."
Football's world governing body was plunged into crisis after a wave of arrests of football officials including two FIFA vice-presidents in Zurich on Wednesday on bribery, fraud and money-laundering charges following an FBI investigation.
The US Department of Justice indictment of 18 people said bribes totalling more than $150m (£98million) had been paid for television rights, sponsorship deals and World Cup votes.
The crisis led UEFA to call for Friday's FIFA presidential election to be postponed - an election where Dyke has said the FA will support Blatter's rival Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan.
In a separate development, the Swiss attorney general also opened criminal proceedings over the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, seized documents and electronic data from FIFA's headquarters and will question 10 current FIFA executive committee members who voted on that tournament.
UEFA's statement has intensified the pressure on Blatter, but the world governing body has insisted the election will take place as planned.
