Here is a snippet from a staff writer at FTBL : "It will also mean full public disclosure of FFA's accounts, starting almost immediately. It is expected they will be made available to those nominating for election next month." I wonder if it just means last years financials or the last 7 years ?

+x+xLowy was professional, articulate and non confrontive in his resignation. My regret is that he and the remainder of the board did not resign immediately. There is a lot of work that the Board and the administration have to do to prepare for the AGM especially in the area of elections so its not the time for having a vacuum. Disagree, most of that work would be done by the administration not the board.

+xLowy said football generates $121m in revenues and 60% goes to the (A League) Clubs. That’s $72.6m. That’s at least the third or fourth different number that’s been mentioned throughout this debate. If dicks like Lowy can’t appreciate the need for accuracy in debates like this no wonder things are such a shambles. Anyway, that’s one problem down. The trick now is can we find enough good people to sit on this Board? my hand is raised ....

+x+x+x+xI'd be interested to know whether the first resolution included all the changes to the text of the constitution or just acceptance of the CRWG report. Resolution 1 amends the constitution of the Company to give effect to therecommendations of the CRWG. These recommendations are to: (1) create a broader, and more balanced, representation of stakeholderson FFA congress by expanding the number of Members of FFA; (2) establish a Women’s Football Council; (3) establish a number of standing committees, with additional reform ofindependent committees and constitutional committees; (4) implement of a four year cycle governance review; (5) ensure FFA reports in accordance with the International FinancialReporting Standards; (6) ensure the full participation of women at all levels of footballgovernance; (7) adopt an “FFA New Member Pathway”; and(8) align the constitution of the Company with FIFA Statutes that doesn't appear to include the recommended CRWG model Whole constitution was replaced by a new one. Feel free to go through the 107 pages http://www.footballfedvic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FFA-Notice-of-a-general-meeting-on-2-Oct-18-12-noon-CRWG-recommend...-2.pdf There isn't much surprise in the revised constitution. They have stuck with the ridiculous 18 standing committees based around the list in the FIFA Standard Statutes. Unfortunately FIFA hasn't rewritten that in line with what they did with their revisions to their governance. They reduced 27 standing committees down to 9.

I really think Lowy/s are far too protective of the FFA and the A-League. (football) I really wish someone would grow the nuts and confront these fuckheads and say it like it is. It's not your fucking game fuckhead.

So the board is blaming the clubs of which they basically created. If you have a puppy, and you treat it poorly and starve it, one day when it grows up chances are it's going to try and eat your leg at some point. Not the dog's fault. Yet again Lowy and his incompetent board flat out refuses to be accountable for anything.

Further to that, the success of the NATIONAL TEAM , has been on the back of a lot of hard working individuals. It's NOT BECAUSE OF YOU , this JOB is not the same as a CEO at A BANK FFS. THERE ARE NO SHAREHOLDERS>>>> LIKE THE FA IN ENGLAND. This is SPORT, SPORT SPORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT "In the last 3 yearrrrrsssss, we've gone to the World Cup , and-like-i-like-ta-say- WE DID IT THE HARD WAY"" AHAHAhAAHAHAH WELL DONE WHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GO GET YOUR COACHING LICENSES STEVEN??

Good now let's move forward so the game can benefit, this has been a tiring process that's taken alot of time in the development of the a-league and the overall game in Australia.
I wonder who will the next FFA Chairman, Bonita Merciades? Kimon? Anyone else.

It sounds pretty fucking insane to me.

I’d imagine some of the committees would be consolidated. I.e the same committee members forming 2-3 committees to save on time/resources.
Good to see things moving forward. I hope that the transition will be smooth but from the sounds of it, unlikely.

People are constantly complaining about not having a voice in the game, having committees with a variety of specialisations increases the breadth of voices in the game, even if they are advisory only, better than nothing.

Wow. So 100s of paid consultants. That sounds really... sane. To improve football in Australia, let's increase the bureaucracy and throw money at a demented number of advisory bodies who just sit around and chew the fat. That'll obviously make everything better.

Well, if the committees are done properly they’ll have a narrow and defined focus and be drawn from people within the football community who know what the f’ck they’re talking about. They can be complemented by other relevant individuals as necessary.
I don’t know committees have been proposed but let’s say they created one around junior football - instead of allowing State Feds to have the sole voice you can have a committee drawn from junior football both advising on, and implementing, recommendations.
Like most things, done properly it will work. Just don’t screw it up Lowy 2.0 ... or should that be Lowy 3.0?

Somewhere along the line i read that most of the committees will only meet 1 or 2 times a year, so consolidation makes lots of sense.

I don't even have a team in the a-league, so it's hard for me to really care at the best of times. If it works out, then great. If it fails, I think we'll all become bitters. The number of these committees is genuinely retarded though.
