FFA: Time to announce (some) plans

When I was a kid my younger starving brother used to ask our mum when he came home from school, "When's dinner?"

Mum always replied, "Soon."

I'm feeling the FFA are a bit like my mum!

When will we get a National Coach? When will get the Technical Report, When we will get the National Women's league and the Youth/Reserve league?



There must be a plan for all of these major events, if not now then in a year or three's time.

Surely there is a plan!

The answer to the release of the technical report by author Rob Baan when I interviewed him in April was,

"The Report is finished it will be released in June."

But the report is coming...soon. It's now October!

The football fans on Australia need to have a blue print for the game released. We deserve to know what is going on. The plan, the problems.

The fans are mature followers of the game, the Australian public understand budgetary constraints.

We also understand when we are being taken for a ride.

CEO Ben Buckley needs to come clean, give us the plan, after all they do have one. It was mentioned when the Socceroos player payments were negotiated recently.

The FFA want grassroots support but I reckon they need to earn it.

Tell us what is going on. We've been left in the dark for too long!
