Father Ted Posted 18 February 2009 Posted 18 February 2009 Soon, the idiot that is Brian Barwick will be leaving as FA Chief exec. only to be replaced by somebody who has even less of a clue... Watmore installed as new FA boss Watmore installed as new FA boss The Football Association has confirmed Ian Watmore as their new chief executive, succeeding Brian Barwick. Watmore will not join the FA until June when he leaves his post as Permanent Secretary for the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. A lifelong Arsenal fan, Watmore, 50, has 24 years' experience in the IT industry prior to his recent background in Government. Watmore is a board member of the English Institute of Sport. "I am delighted to be joining The Football Association as chief executive," he said. "It is a great challenge and one I am really looking forward to. "With [chairman] Lord Triesman and the [FA] Board, Fabio Capello and the FA's staff, I want to ensure we are achieving success on and off the pitch across all levels of the game." A three-man shortlist of candidates were interviewed for the post.
Hitesh Posted 18 February 2009 Posted 18 February 2009 If he is having the final say on key decisions in English football then I'm not really looking forward to the outcomes. From the sounds of it, he doesn't have much of an understanding of how it all works. Having said that, neither did Barwick I guess. I just hope its not another failure!
purpleronnie Posted 18 February 2009 Posted 18 February 2009 Another great idea, the FA will never learn.
Simi Posted 18 February 2009 Posted 18 February 2009 Good to see a wealth of footballing experience prior to taking this job. Played FA!!
Milky Posted 18 February 2009 Posted 18 February 2009 Did Barwick bring Sven to England? no, that was the scottish bloke who worked for the post office. That bloke who embraced sven on the athletics track after hammering Germany 5-1. crozier
