F.a.faces Vote Of No Confidence

[Togo]

Parliament is to debate a vote of no confidence in the governance of the FA. Pity they cannot have the same debate regarding FIFA while they are at it.

While the FA is a shambles, the idea of the House of Commons, an even older badly run shambles, being the best people to reform it, is quite laughable.
Talk about kettles and pots.

The Department of Culture and Media, or whatever it is called this week, have an appalling record of political interferring and ineptitude.

Still, it may shake the "blazers" up at footy HQ. They have been getting away with it for years, and we cant vote them off the premises, like we can with the snakes in the "House".

Why on earth should Parliamentary time be devoted to the governance of football? It's just a game (and not a very entertaining one at that). If it is badly run it is hardly a matter for Parliament.

New Judge - A certain Bill Shankly would be turning in his grave! ;-)

The answer Mr NJ is that 1 in 5 adults participate in one form of footballing activity. 8.2m people. (2015 figures)
The game bridges generations, social divides and unites like nothing else other than war.

3 n half billion fans can not be wrong.

Maybe there should be a referendum.

You know, a straightforward question: Should the FA be reformed YES or NO.

What could possibly go wrong??

“The game bridges generations, social divides and unites like nothing else other than war.”

Maybe. I haven’t checked but I’ll accept what you say. But a Parliamentary debate? Ye Gods!

“3 n half billion fans can not be wrong.”

So 50 % of the world’s population are football fans? Evidence, please.

There was a story going round in the Sixties (no idea how true it was) that Parliament spent 3 hours on discussing the custard in the Palace of Westminster restaurant, and then passed the Finance Bill (i.e. The Budget) in twenty minutes.

I think the debate is in response to, wait for it.............................

an online petition.

[New Judge]

Enough said.
