----- Original Message ----- The idea that this man has been part of the progress of young players to the national squad is ludicrous. Their progress has been despite the pernicious points deductions meted out by his organisation
"His organisation" being, of course, The Football League. The FL management acts for the League clubs as a whole and not on its own as it sees fit. The Football Supporters Federation is putting together a working paper for the FA dealing with matters of football governance and it can make suggestions and recommendations about alternatives to the current system. Those who do not like the current system, irrespective of how it has treated their own particular clubs, need to make their ideas and suggestions to the FSF so that they might be included in the submission. The FL are also open to considering suggestions and recommendations for improvements from fans bodies. Scrapping all sanctions is not an option. In particular it is vital that the PL and the FL use the same set of governance rules and controls so that we don't have a situation where an unscrupulous chairman (and believe it or not such people do exist) would really prefer not to get promoted because the different rules of the higher league might cause some embarrassment to themselves or to their "financial" arrangements. This is also of concern with regard to clubs who might be on the brink of promotion to the FL and so on down the pyramid. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
