The PFA piece is the most detail we have but it seems from SMH that the result is pretty much set. Not sure about the Chairman though.

New directions in football governance, so time to vote the ‘right way’

A statement issued by Football Supporters Australia (FSA), 8 November 2018

Download a copy of this statement

Football Supporters Australia (FSA) believes that the AGM of Football Federation Australia (FFA) on 19 November provides a wonderful opportunity to elect leadership that will steer our game in exciting new strategic and policy directions.

The appointment of at least four new directors, as well as a Chair, will be from an impressive field of 12 nominations. As part of a fresh start, there are many outstanding options nominated which can provide for greater diversity at senior levels of football governance across our nation.

To those of the Congress voting at the AGM, FSA requests that you ensure the right mix of skills, knowledge, experience and commitment to our game is reflected in the composition of the new board.

The FFA must include a healthy balance of attributes from a variety of professions based on football, business, gender and age, strategic growth, risk management, experience and innovation.

Within this context and notwithstanding the CRWG criteria for acceptance of nominations to the election, we urge the 29 Congress members who will vote to also consider the following for all candidates:

  • All directors and the Chair of FFA must put the greater good of our game before the vested interests of any particular stakeholder group(s) that they may have an association.
  • Understanding and experience with relevant football administration experience at a senior level are prioritised over commercial experience outside of the game.
  • Football and politics come hand in hand, and yet partisan and adversarial approaches must be avoided for FFA to deliver its potential.
  • The required skills to help bring stakeholders together in inclusive and collaborative ways to grow and evolve our game.
  • A strong commitment to football, and conflict of interest, convenient or superficial switches of allegiance from one rival sporting code to another are avoided.
  • A thorough knowledge and grasp of football’s international dimensions that require building relationships and growing our successful participation in Asia and beyond.
  • The relationship with fans to be front and centre of the thinking by all board members including their participation in the governance of the game, participation on relevant standing committees and working groups of FFA.

FSA is submitting some key questions for participating candidates to address at the community forum of Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC) to be held in Melbourne on 12 November, and we look forward to the responses of nominees.

Fans are the biggest single stakeholder groups in pro-football of Australia, and eagerly await more inclusive stakeholder engagement as an outcome to be steered by the new board.

Pablo Bateson
Interim Chairman, Football Supporters Australia

Football Supporters Australia is an advocacy-based national independent incorporated association, registered in Victoria. It has an interim board ahead of the inaugural AGM in early 2019, including the election of office bearers, adoption of a formal constitution and establishment of a membership structure. The association’s board comprises volunteers from a range of professional backgrounds including medicine, IT, business and research, and all are non-aligned with other major stakeholders and special interest groups.

I'm certain that could be re-written to advantage.

F
ootball Federation Australia hosts its 15th Annual General Meeting next Monday and it promises to be one of the most notable in the organisation’s history. It will be the first formal gathering of Australian football’s leaders since the culmination of the bitter congress expansion dispute, and the decisions taken will have far-reaching implications.

The most significant order of business is the replenishment of the FFA board. The board is comprised of nine directors, six elected and three appointed. Four of these elected positions are up for grabs at the AGM, including the role of chair. By the end of Monday’s meeting FFA will not be chaperoned by a member of the Lowy family for the first time in its existence.

The directors elected will be involved in negotiating the terms of the A-League’s independence, one of the most significant items of business in the history of Australian football. They will also have to adjudicate on the timeline for A-League expansion, steer the bid to host the 2023 Women’s World Cup, support the senior men’s and women’s national teams through international tournaments, and much more besides during a hectic few months. There is a strong possibility the new board will refresh FFA’s senior management team.

The new congress arrangements mean responsibility for appointing the new board falls to three stakeholder groups: the nine member federations who wield 55% of voting power between them, the nine A-League clubs who collectively possess 28% of votes, and the players’ union, PFA, who have a 7% say. Those three groups also contribute an equal share to the newly formed Women’s Council which has been handed a voting allocation of 10%.

A director requires 60% of the vote - a prescribed majority - to be elected. The new congress is therefore forced by design into some degree of collaboration to escort a preferred candidate over the line. In theory, this a positive development for Australian football. “Working in a federal model, like FFA, the only way to govern effectively is to engage collaborative governance,” Professor David Shilbury, chair in sport management at Deakin University says. “It requires the national body to engage the boards of its member associations and key stakeholders to engage them in the whole strategy formulation process and understanding of what’s going on in their sport.”

The AGM is the first practical application of this model of mutual self-interest incentivising congress members to work collaboratively. Negotiations under way behind the scenes indicate there is cause for optimism. For example, the 11 candidates on the ballot can broadly be categorised as consensus selections, meaning regardless of the four names announced at the AGM a palatable outcome should be achieved for most stakeholders.

But there remains room for improvement, most obviously the opacity of the election process. While positive steps may be being taken towards an optimal outcome, for as long as communication to the broader public is piecemeal a degree of scepticism is inevitable. To put it another way, regardless of the answer, the football community would benefit from seeing some of the workings out.

The timing of this AGM makes this both essential and perilous. It is perilous because the new congress makes for some uneasy bedfellows and there are concerns a public-facing campaign could jeopardise embryonic working relationships. It is essential because the gap between the game’s leaders and grassroots is yawning. As Bonita Mersiades has written: “The football community bought into the so-called reform process because it wanted change. That change wasn’t about shifting deckchairs. The football community wants and deserves greater democracy, transparency and accountability.”

Of the three stakeholder groups represented on congress, PFA are currently alone in pursuing an open process. When they nominated their two candidates for the board they did so with detailed supporting arguments. Since then they have circulated a framework to participants outlining their rigorous decision-making process.

Efforts to broaden engagement in the election process have been aided by an intervention from the Association of Australian Football Clubs, the organisation representing sides competing in the NPL. The AAFC have organised a public forum in Melbourne featuring six of the board candidates. Each nominee will have up to three minutes to state their case and then face questions from the audience. “With such a large field, many of whom are unknown to us, we believe it is important to meet the candidates and hear from them first hand on their vision for the game,” AAFC chairman Rabieh Krayem said.

What is certain to emerge at this forum is a clamour for candidates to assert their football credentials. Unfairly or not there is a perception among large sections of the football community that the game has for too long been led by individuals without a requisite passion or understanding of the game. The FFA board requires more than simply football acumen however. Skills in legal, political, commercial and other fields are also necessary. Finding an appropriate blend is a delicate balancing act.

As Shilbury explains: “Commercialisation is always the driver towards professionalisation and professionalisation creates a tension between the sport being a sport and play and the sport being a business. It’s neither one nor the other in its entirety, and that’s what makes sport business so unique.”

Greeky Website doing a P&R job for a couple of the candidates

My favourite bit

Nikou is also a proponent of expansion, a second division as well as promotion and relegation. Importantly, his time working with the Congress Review Working Group means he has healthy relationships with the A-League clubs, the Member Federations and the PFA.

So who we liking so far?

Foz was good, but as waffley as usual
Nogretto was good, confirmed he won't stand for chairman because of the stigma he'll probably have with some.
Shield , nervous but obviously there for what he can put in
Conroy much better than I thought would be, seems passionate

the others I'm a bit indifferent to

They haven't actually answered any real questions yet

Craig Foster is my pick, 

While i don't believe in everything he says, i agree with 90% of it and thats good enough for me.

The game should have people with a footballing back ground and after listening to him debating football on SBS over the last 10-15 years, i have full faith that he will deliver, he can see the issues with the current game.

End of the day, i want to see a progressive board looking towards the future, to build the game and expand the A League. 

As its clear that the current set up has been boring for a while, and id like to see more Aussie or Kiwi youngsters get more game time in a stronger league
