What I want from our football leaders

What do I want from FFA leadership? It’s a simple question with, I think, a somewhat simple answer. However, sometimes the simple things are the hardest to achieve.

I want FFA to lead and inspire the football family with vision and detail a clear strategy on how to move forward. Be pro-active rather than reactive.

Finally, I want stable management.

The biggest disappointment with the current FFA management style is the reactive nature of its communication processes, and I guess a fear – as I see it – of issuing a strategic plan for us to support and get behind.

To finish on a high, many FFA decisions have been excellent: the new coach, the training camp, a match against Germany, the recent football forums around Australia, to name but a few.

However, the insular way things are done by FFA normally go unnoticed, and therein lies such a major part of the breakdown in FFA’s communication processes.
