Sometimes you need to hold your nerve and understand there are greater things at play. To do this, you need a strong belief akin to faith in your leadership.

Under Frank Lowy, stewardship of football has come a long way. I believe Frank knows what he is doing and has built an impressive leadership group around him.

I have faith in Frank because of his past record in both business and his management of football to date.

If Frank says we need twelve teams and has a timetable, I assume there is a very good reason.

Have Frank and FFA made mistakes? A few, some quite bad.

The initial treatment of Perth Glory by JON and Matthew Carroll was very poor; the current issue pertaining to FFA controlled teams (i.e ticket prices, the past treatment of Home Ends, changes to starting times), seems not to be working.

But the pluses well out number the negatives, and my guess is FFA are learning from their mistakes.

Why Frank wants and is driving for expansion is for us to guess: the next media deal and the World Cup bid? Recognition by influential business and government folk of Asia?

Whatever the reason, I trust Frank knows what he is doing and have faith that he has plans in place.
