ASF,FFA..names and entities change.There is nothing that stops FFA being replaced.
From NSL to HAL to who knows what next.So far Frank Lowy has been heavily involved with all that has gone before.Some say he has been the saviour of the game,but in thirty odd years look at where we are and what hasnt been achieved.
Excuses?....But we are different!

Facts may be pesky when you push a conspiracy but FFA's constitution is clear, all income they generate can only be used for football purposes and not paid to any shareholders, directors, etc as profits. As a sporting organisation they are tax exempt. Link to full constitution below:

 https://www.ffa.com.au/sites/ffa/files/2017-09/FFA%20Constitution.pdf

Football purpose: a purpose related to football. Example- Steven flew himself and a party to Zurich using FFA funds to persuade FIFA that Australia is unique for football purposes.

@ AJF

but they are supposed to be structured as a “members organisation” then they would have to act on behalf of their members; instead it acts on behalf of itself.

The clue is in the stated “objects” of the organisation - at no point does it say it is there to act in behalf of its members ie the clubs, players and State Federations.

In fact, it’s rather damning in that it states it’s role is “supervising and governing State Bodies” .... GOVERNING State Bodies? How can the FFA Govern State bodies when the state bodies are meant to elect and appoint the ffa board?

It’s a farce. The FFA as we know it has to go 😂

@Waz there is nothing that states they need to be  a members organisation in the FIFA statutes. The term they use is association and there is no specific definition of what this means. Also for entry to FIFA, FIFA has approved the constitution, the corporate structure, congress and basically everything else about the FFA, which is correct as that compliance with FIFA is written into the constitution.

Just because that idiot Griffith has tried to bust out a second rate legal argument doesn't change the facts FFA is recognized and approved by FIFA, if they weren't Australia would not be part of FIFA or AFC. Simples.

Also not sure how many on here realise but FFA is just the Australian Soccer Federation renamed and with a different legal structure. Actually to be 100% correct, Lowy changed the name twice, first to Australian Soccer Association when he first took over in 2003 and then to FFA when he shut down the NSL in 2004 to launch "new football". 

Do not misunderstand me, I am no fan of Lowy or what he has done and also would love for a football person to take the reigns of the FFA , but at the same time I am also realistic and do not expect much to change in the near future as FIFA protects their own. 

I think that should read 2003 and 2004?

Correct. Fixed & thanks,

@ southmelb

It’s pretty clear your an AFL fan, probably a Mr. Football multi, but if you felt it necessary to post one more AFL viewing figure good on you

But as I made pretty clear in my post footy, cricket, cars and NFL are the only things rating in sport, one more data point is not adding to the picture.

NBLs semi final was naff, super rugby naff, a league naff ..

Lol I'm no multi, yes I'm a footy fan, I didn't read the last bit of your post.

But but you're a NSL bitter. Call the cops Waz.

lol what’s the offence - Schizophrenia, being an NSL biter and a footy fan 😂

More clear air
