About $4 million worth of sponsorship money is connected to retiring Football Federation Australia directors, the sport’s latest financial accounts reveal.The accounts, lodged with the corporate regulator yesterday, reveal FFA recorded a small $126,000 loss from $132.5m revenue in the year to June 30. Those figures compared with a $335,000 loss from $105m revenue last year.FFA’s revenue increase would have primarily been as a result of the Socceroos qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the first year of a six-year $346m broadcast deal with Fox Sports.The organisation did not break down its revenue sources in the annual report, but it did reveal its spending on grants and distributions to A-League clubs and other bodies increased about $11.5m to $43.9m, and travel expenses rose about $6m to $16m.FFA also spent $32m on employee and team benefits, up from $26m in 2017, and $14m on marketing and media expenses, an increase of about $2m.

Retiring FFA directors responsible for $4m in sponsorship
exclusive
John Stensholt
12:00AM October 30, 2018
About $4 million worth of sponsorship money is connected to retiring Football Federation Australia directors, the sport’s latest financial accounts reveal.
The accounts, lodged with the corporate regulator yesterday, reveal FFA recorded a small $126,000 loss from $132.5m revenue in the year to June 30. Those figures compared with a $335,000 loss from $105m revenue last year.
FFA’s revenue increase would have primarily been as a result of the Socceroos qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the first year of a six-year $346m broadcast deal with Fox Sports.
The organisation did not break down its revenue sources in the annual report, but it did reveal its spending on grants and distributions to A-League clubs and other bodies increased about $11.5m to $43.9m, and travel expenses rose about $6m to $16m.
FFA also spent $32m on employee and team benefits, up from $26m in 2017, and $14m on marketing and media expenses, an increase of about $2m. Key management personnel were paid $4.36m, down from $4.71m in 2017.
The accounts also showed information on sponsorship by companies connected to outgoing FFA chairman Steven Lowy, a non-executive director of Scentre Group, and retiring director Simon Hepworth, the chief financial officer of Caltex.
Under related party interests, the accounts said Scentre Group shelled out $1.68m in sponsorship in 2018, down from $2.5m the previous year, and Caltex spent $2.34m, up from $1.84m in the same period.
Caltex signed a four-year deal with FFA to be naming rights sponsor of the Socceroos in 2016, while Scentre Group has already announced its naming rights deal for the FFA Cup will expire after the final as the company prefers to concentrate on women’s football.
Scentre is the naming rights partner for the Matildas women’s national side. Scentre, which owns and operates Westfield shopping malls in Australia and New Zealand, announced a two-year extension to its Matildas deal last July.
Lowy will retire as chairman after a tumultuous three-year term, at the FFA’s annual general meeting in November, while Hepworth is also retiring.
As revealed by The Australian last week, contenders to replace Lowy include PwC managing director Joseph Carrozzi, former Labor senator Stephen Conroy, now the head of gambling lobby group Responsible Wagering Australia, and current FFA director Chris Nikou, a corporate lawyer with K&L Gates. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/football/retiring-ffa-directors-responsible-for-4m-in-sponsorship/news-story/1ef6a8f1ad1cec9814b413fb0ebdd4f7

Or is that only for a public listed company? $14m spent on marketing too. Is that alot or not? Because if it is alot, it doesn't seem to have been very effective. Huge rise in travel expenses from last year. Is it from taking the team (and the extra 'staff and officials') to Russia? Does Qantas still sponsor the NT in anyway?

Since Lowy was appointed chairman of FFA, 1,700 fewer people have attended each a-league match for 3 seasons and ratings are down over 30%.
$4 million is a bargain to get rid of him.

Lowy is also responsible for the higher electricity prices since he came on board.

I thought electricity prices are going down?
Anyway Prickle, level of disclosure for Fin Stats is not as detailed as you would imagine. Even for public companies.
This was picked up from related party disclosures by the looks of it - that needs to be disclosed with more detail.

The FFA normally put a bit more detail in the Annual Review that they have put out for the last 2 years. I wonder whether that will happen with Lowy on the way out.

Forget the distractions around VAR (which is in part a symptom of the lack of football nous at FFA HQ) – this AGM is the most important day for Australian football in this decade, as the first democratic election since the early 2000s. Australian football’s fate is decided by the nine state and territory federation presidents (Victoria, NSW, Northern NSW, SA, WA, Northern Territory, ACT, Queensland and Tasmania), plus the A-League clubs whose vote has been expanded, plus new additions the players’ union (Professional Footballers Australia) and the women’s council. The FFA Congress debate was hijacked by the suggestion that A-League clubs wanted to take over the game. But with the correction made, it is now incumbent on the A-League clubs and particularly the state federations to consider the game’s broader interests including their own. There were some challenges with the state federations throughout the Congress Review process but self-interest and a focus on retaining power were ultimately cast aside. The positive end to the political power struggle - when the game’s best interests were prioritised - must continue. The expanded FFA Congress has a massive responsibility to the football, and greater accountability is a must heading into November 19. The days of secret ballots and clandestine campaigning should be over, and all candidates – especially those running for chair – should publicly outline their vision for football. I believe that should extend to the two current FFA board members (Kelly Bayer Rosmarin and Crispin Murray) who have indicated their intent to stay on.

Couldn't stand an ALF person in JOSEPH CARROZZI providing any direction to our game. These ALF people are poisonous.
At least Archie Frazer isn't being nominated.

Aha something about this AAFC makes me laugh. Set themselves up as a group out of nowhere, lobby for attention, get nowhere re new congress, keep telling us they are starting a second division but have nothing concrete to show for it besides more timetables and "look at me" words and now badger incoming board nominees to come to them to sit down for a chat to see if they approve of them.... All seems a bit desperate and very very Australian football "as we know it". Disclaimer: I do hope they get something together and start a second division blah blah etc etc but the way they go about things is pretty amusing

. .. So just to clarify; they are not members and are not just demanding a meeting at a time and place of their choosing but also calling out those who don't attend at short notice? Is that about the sum of it?

Is that about the sum of it? Yep But on the other hand, would be nice if there was info floating around as to why these guys are nominated, and what they plan to do if they get a seat. Apart from this effort from AAFC there's very little Eg Victory 2nd'd Conroy who was nominated by 1 of the rebel Feds............. Why ? Adelaide didn't nominate anyone ? Why ?

Disclaimer: I do hope they get something together and start a second division blah blah etc etc but the way they go about things is pretty amusing Football Federation Australia (FFA) has today issued the Notice of the Fifteenth Annual General Meeting (AGM), which will be held at 2:15pm on Monday, 19 November, 2018. The purpose of the AGM is to receive and consider the Annual Financial Report of FFA, report on the Annual activities of FFA, inform the members of the FFA annual budget and elect up to four directors to the FFA Board. The members will consider, and if thought fit, pass resolutions to grant qualifying member status to Football Coaches Australia (FCA) and the Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC) under the FFA constitution.
Further the members will consider, and if thought fit, pass a special resolution to amend the FFA constitution in relation to the qualifying member status of AAFC to give effect to a recommendation of the Congress Review Working Group.
. .. So just to clarify; they are not members and are not just asking publicly (demanding) for a meeting at a time and place of their choosing but also calling out those who don't attend at short notice? Is that about the sum of it? Yep But on the other hand, would be nice if there was info floating around as to why these guys are nominated, and what they plan to do if they get a seat. Apart from this effort from AAFC there's very little Eg Victory 2nd'd Conroy who was nominated by 1 of the rebel Feds............. Why ? Adelaide didn't nominate anyone ? Why ? Oh, I totally agree with you on that and in many ways it would be good if other groups were as pushy as these guys or if it was all a little more transparent given the climate. I dunno, they just come off as a little 'desperate to be seen as a big boy' sometimes and it grates on me.Having said that, I guess if this is what it takes to get heard then perhaps I should be blaming those who created that environment (and I do) and not the ones who do what they feel they have to.

+x+xAha something about this AAFC makes me laugh. Set themselves up as a group out of nowhere, lobby for attention, get nowhere re new congress, keep telling us they are starting a second division but have nothing concrete to show for it besides more timetables and "look at me" words and now badger incoming board nominees to come to them to sit down for a chat to see if they approve of them....

. .. Just to add a little light to what is happening with "Qualifying Member Status", I would not be able to do as well as Ms Mersiades who illuminated this subject back in about August, so without further comment:
'Pathway to Congress' There is a 'pathway to Congress' for special interest groups (SIG) which takes at least two years for the groups to 'prove' themselves to be good enough for 'qualifying membership'. While it is understandable that new groups such as the Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC), the Football Supporters Association (FSA) and Football Coaches Australia (FCA) should meet certain membership, legal and regulatory criteria - as well as some runs on the board - some of the criteria set would not be met by any of the existing stakeholders (including the PFA), and appear designed to ensure that the existing stakeholders, plus the PFA, remain those wielding power for as long as possible. The AAFC, representing NPL clubs nationally, have been given special status by being considered to be on the 'right' pathway to Congress since July last year. That means they can take a partial (non-voting) 'qualifying' seat at the full Congress in July next year.Other SIGS, such as coaches and supporters, may also be considered for full membership after a four-year qualifying period under qualifying criteria set out in the report. New A-League clubs would also not receive Congress membership until they also meet the 'Pathway to Congress' requirements, including the two-year waiting period. Each new member added to the Congress over time would receive two votes with a further governance review to be conducted once a third SIG is added or within four years, whichever comes first. The report notes that the FFA Board does not agree with this model, with that it sought: a bigger and broader membership in line with international benchmarks;embedded and genuine gender equality, from the FFA Board down through all football institutions in Australia;the immediate admission of Special Interest Groups (SIGs);a balanced Congress which reflects the significance and contribution of community and professional football;clear delineation between the role of Congress and the responsibilities of an independent FFA board.

+xThe 12 nominees Since the twelve nominees to the FFA Board were announced late on Saturday afternoon (and not long before the Sydney Derby) there has been speculation about who nominated whom, and why. There was a 13th nominee - a Federal public servant living in Sydney - but he was rejected by the Nominations Committee. The commentary - publicly via social media and privately - is that the list of cleared nominees is distincly underwhelming for a variety of reasons. - 2 existing FFA Board members, both appointed under the Lowy regime (Danny Moulis and Chris Nikou).
- 3 served on the Asian Cup Board, under the chairmanship of Frank Lowy (Joseph Carrozzi, Nikou and Reid).
- There are only 2 former professional players which is pathetic (Craig Foster and Moulis).
- There are only 3 women which is also pathetic (Heather Reid, Linda Norquay and Judith Griggs).
- There are only 6 people who could be categorised as 'football people' (Foster, Moulis, Nikou, Remo Nogarotto, Reid, former referee Mark Shield), although some are reportedly fans (Stephen Conroy and Linda Norquay) and one with previous work experience in football (Mark Rendell).
- 1 is the deputy chairman of an AFL club (Carrozzi).
- The cultural and linguistic diversity is limited - thought admittedly wider than the previous Board.
Some say the nominees to the Board are further evidence of the Lowy influence on football - Carrozzi, Moulis, Nikou, Reid are all alumni of a Lowy Board and would join Rosmarin and Murray. Some say it’s a ‘Melbourne Greeks v Sydney Italians’ battle with Nikou and Moulis on the one side, versus Carrozzi and Nogarotto on the other. Some say a few of the candidates are in it to confuse the lobbying efforts of possible frontrunners and could drop out before election day on 19 November.

It's a new board to be set-up under a model that appears to have good support in the community and she is still is trying to bag Lowy. Will she ever get over her hate for Lowy? You can't take anything she says seriously, it's all tainted by her hate for Lowy. She also repeated the "Nogarotto for chair" line later in the article.
