Mid
Got to say the BAR wasn’t that high to beat tbh the 3 previous CEO’s prior.

In saying that he done very very well and seeing how much of a divide we kept being in as a whole that now I have grave fears what’s to become ahead depending who takes the reins.
Hope the current board he served so well carries on with his vision where he was trying hard to lead us towards !

LFC, he said in the history of Football in Australia & I agree with him.
Admin of football in this country has been poor for 50 years before JJ.
 
How will JJ be remembered in 20 years as Head of Football Australia? What would you say were his 2-3 biggest achievements? And conversely, where did he most fall short in the role? On face value to me, it feels like it's been a solid tenure. That said, the game in Australia still has it's struggles.

I would say he has laid good foundations - but much work is yet to be done. If his successors build on those foundations I think he will be remembered fondly. But there is the rub, football has had opportunities over the years only to shoot themselves in the foot.

Agree we don't need someone to stall the path he was taking us or worst take is backwards.

To grazor, imo he is light years better than anyone before, I can go back to Sir Arthur George, and who can forget Tony Lab (akin St George Bank and Okon), David Hill, Ian Knob, JON, Ben Buckley, Gallop.

I recall when he signed it was expected he would leave after three years and head back to FIFA, whether that's where he ends up....but he has taken us from near bankruptcy to were we are....just hope APL can do likewise.

We all agree as I quoted the BAR wasn’t very high whatsoever.
SAF both Lowys were my 3 first thoughts amd throw in the rest of them mentioned.
Been shocking and as a opposing code war chief you’d think well socka is easy to step over.

A Peruvian American. Just the little I've read about him it seems like we're going backwards, unfortunately. But who knows, maybe he'll step up to modern times. I'm not religious but I know this affects many lives out there.

Do good and don't harm others, it's not hard.

The symbolism of pope leo is that the first pope leo managed to convince attila the hun to stop raping and pillaging europe and go away

Calling himself leo presumably means he views diplomacy over war as the moral focus of his papacy (and signalling to catholics that by peacemakers and ending armed conflicts should be their priority)

Interesting... thought he brought a bit more professionalism compared to Gallop.

I'd be going for Scott Munn on his way out of Tottenham has the connection and has the experience in Asia with his time in China.

Good to know. I thought it was because even though he is Peruvian, he’s a huge Messi fan………
