One Football Strategy 2022-26
mid point of our 4 year plan.... how is the "unifying football" going? What about the "elite teams and pathways"?

Sign Up Now!Being a ‘glass half full’ kinda guy I do think progress is being made with both the APL and the state federations, probably not as quickly as we fans would like. I can see small glimmers of improvement in cooperation between all parties ( I am reading between the lines here).One Football Strategy 2022-26

Hope you are right mate... I cant see any progress... today's news about the Claytons second division has me pretty pessimistic about any real desire to move forward.Being a ‘glass half full’ kinda guy I do think progress is being made with both the APL and the state federations, probably not as quickly as we fans would like.

I believe JJ is a very diplomatic guy and takes things one step at a time.
I think we will see great improvements in all areas in the next two years.
Come on, you’re just a little upset. I’m sure you’ll feel better about it when you’ve had time to think about it.Hope you are right mate... I cant see any progress... today's news about the Claytons second division has me pretty pessimistic about any real desire to move forward.
Possibly, but at the moment its mainly just disappointment... Instead of a proper league we are getting a super league lite, 8 x clubs buying their way in and 8 x "premiers" who may or may not have the money or the fans to even bother flying around the country 6 times to compete two months into their offseason... what could go wrong?Come on, you’re just a little upset.

Thanks for your contribution to the discussionSometimes I think I'm a half glass full guy myself, but sometimes the glass is half full of piss so there's that I guess...
That’s easier said than done.Eliminate state federations. If they were serious they would have done that as the first step.
I know but if you are serious about uniting football that's what you have to do.That’s easier said than done.
correct, the middle man is being cut in most things today, sure they might be doing something right/good ?I know but if you are serious about uniting football that's what you have to do.
I know what you are saying but ‘do turkeys vote for Christmas’.correct, the middle man is being cut in most things today, sure they might be doing something right/good ?
Anyone say why they are needed to run Football in their respective State that couldn't be pulled inhouse at FA but maybe have 1 FA State based Rep being first contact for Clubs.
Most if not all large companies have 1 HQ/office running their National distribution.
in all fairness, there are quite a few administrative duties the state feds are better suited to complete mate.... Its not easy scheduling ONE league let alone hundreds, for men women juniors all ages groups and divisions what have you... they should (and mostly do) help clubs lobby for government funding, facilities maintenance and the like... They do (or at least should) help with insurance, medical training, coach education and the like... what they SHOULDN'T (in my opinion) have a say in is the make up of the professional league and any decisions made by FA as a national body.correct, the middle man is being cut in most things today, sure they might be doing something right/good ?
