It's a start i suppose..

Review suggests imposing age limit for FAW members.

A review of the way Welsh football is run has recommended introducing an age limit for members of the Football Association of Wales.
The review, published on Tuesday , suggests people standing for election to the FAW council in 2016 should be no older than 70, reducing to 65 in 2020.
It also recommends the creation of an executive board to look after the running of the sport.
Any changes would have to be approved by the FAW council.
It is understood FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford is keen to push through the reforms.

More to follow.

Just some snippets from the report that these fools at the FAW are up to.

“There needs to be an age limit two people were nodding off in the meeting today,
and that’s just not right.”

“Once you become a life member, you shouldn’t have a vote any more. If you want a
vote, you should be elected like everyone else. Soon life members will be able to
outvote elected members, and that can’t be right".


“Decisions aren’t reached for the good of Welsh football,
they’re done for self interest.”

“Decisions are made based on parochialism and local affiliations. It’s
not about the game as a whole.”



Self interest / area interest / parochialism dominates / cliques

Standing orders are used inappropriately to stop decisions going through

North versus South is a problem

People afraid of being bullied / shouted down

People want to hold onto power
