The FA and the Premier League..

[vonuber]

.. looks like it's a complete capitulation by the FA to the Premier league. Football is finally eating itself.

As an example, The FA has deemed the following such things as outside its remit:

Club and league commercial and financial matters;
Club business and operating issues, stadium, customer/fan issues;
Club/league relationship with other competition organisers including Uefa;
Club ticket prices;
Club distributions and parachute payment.

Therefore, what is the point of the FA anymore?

The FA is there to allow players off with red cards when they deserve them - Rooney - and to extend bans of players when they don't deserve them - Michael Turner.

Michael Turner (at Sunderland) jumped for a ball and caught the player behind in the face completely by accident. He got sent off and a three match ban. Sunderland appealed this at the time and the ban was extended to 4 because we wasted their time.

s the lot of them.

I have no respect for the FA because they dilly-dally on issues all the time. Goal line technology (which is FINALLY being looked into) for example. Their respect campaign for referees is ste too, players still argue and largely go unpunished - any back chat should result in a booking and the players would soon learn to shut their mouths and get on with the game.

A useless organisation ran by useless people.
