Brooking is one of the only half decent people at the FA.

Exactly!

Brooking is one of the only half decent people at the FA.

He's Everything that's wrong with the bloody FA--------If it wasn't for him & his cronies wanting bloody YESmen--

Martin O'Neill would have got the job WITH his backroom staff(John Robertson & Steve Walford)as he wanted.

BUT nooooo ---------Brooking & his mates HAVE got to be in control !!

If Brooking is such an excellent Director of Football Development how come our youngster get some of the worst development in Europe, school playing fields are disappearing, football in now played less than ever at our schools and the National football Academy has been put of hold for so long?

If the FA were really interested in anything but money and personal kudos the Academy would be built and up and running and they might even consider ideas like paying for a football coach in every school.

What development is he actually getting done?

I'm sure Brooking would like to do all of those things. He can make recommendations, but because of politics and lack of money to his department, he can't order anything.

As a Director one of his main attributes should be his ability to influence other Directors if he can't do that then he's failing!

I've heard interviews with TB and he was complaining how the stet up for youth football wasn't good enough and the plan that was put in place ten years ago hasn't happend?

Wasnt that his job??????

The problem with organisations like the FA that aren't very transparent is that its hard to tell which idiot makes a mess of things, and whose fault everything that they always get wrong is, when its so mired in beaurocracy and people skimming off the top. The problem with criticising all these people is that they'll always pass the blame onto some hidden committee somewhere that nobody ever gets told a thing about, and we've no way of knowing if they're telling the truth or not.

So in summary, as much as I may dislike Brooking or Barwick or whoever, I think the system being crap is an even bigger problem than one or two idiots.
