memo - David Gill

[stony]

Not necessarily done anything wrong apart from steering things so that the outcome favours the Rags. He was behind the change in the coefficient calculation change that adds point for past winners of ECL, this favours them as they are low on points for recent years meaning they are behind us but with the change it's puts them above us.

So he has done something wrong then. He's abused his position so his own club can get an advantage.

Among chairman Greg Clarke’s proposals for Football Association reform is a nine-year limit for members of the FA board.

This would be implemented retrospectively, meaning David Gill would leave with immediate effect. Now Gill hasn’t always been good for English football or English clubs — although he does have a way of seeing Manchester United right — but it is undeniable that his experience at FIFA, UEFA, the Premier League and Old Trafford can come in useful.

How typical that one of the first casualties of Parliament’s meddling in football’s affairs is expertise. The number of MPs whose term now dates back more than nine years, by the way? 411.

This piece was written by one of the leading journalists in the country and the irony is he does not understand the scandal that he should be reporting. Samuel understands that Gill has been helping United but that because he is in the job for a while he should carry on. Surely the scandal is that a leading journlist has confirmed that United are getting favourable treatment over other clubs

We know that when FFP was first mooted that debt was going to be the focus but when it was understood that this would have a detiremntal affect on United without any discussion or outrage by the media these plans were dropped

We have the conflict of interest of Gill being able to review the financial affairs of rivals to his club and being able to punish those clubs

For Martin Samuel to acknowledge and suggest Gill is corrupt but that he should be kept on is an utter disgrace and is at the heart of the problem with football

What has the highlighted part got to do with anything?? MP's are voted in or out by their constituency, who voted in Gill?

The ****s only there to give the rags a leg up at any given opportunity, it's a disgrace, however didn't Dein from Arsenal do similar roles and look how well treated they were at the time.

One of the problems with football - and it's so called elite - whether they are journalists, managers, board members or ex players - they exist wholly in a football bubble. A world like no other. When jobs are handed out there's no thought regarding a fair process or appointing the best candidate, employment legislation doesn't apply to football clubs, homophobia and sexism still reign, facts are not facts, opinions rule, taking a back hander and a bung is broadly acceptable or people are trained to look away. The whole game from top to bottom is a joke - a multi million pound game run by amateurs largely unfit to run a sweet shop. People like Fat Sam with a sense of entitlement who thinks they have a right to take money out of the game - simply because their is loads of it sloshing around. What remorse did Fat Sam ever show for being caught with his hands in the till - none he was incredulous that he been caught by someone working undercover! Words like accountability, responsibility, morality and objectivity are wholly unknown or not comprehended in football. As far as I can see FIFA, UEFA and the FA and all corrupt and unfit to govern our beautiful game. Gill the shitbag is just one of a long line of corrupt people self appointed, declaring to know best, pretending to act in the games interest but hell bent on lining their own pockets. Don't expect this cesspit to reform itself anytime soon -there's too many freeloaders stealing a living.

You just have to wonder what sort of brass neck people like gill have. They know full well what most people will think about them, but still carry on. But maybe things are changing. One serious sports journalist wrote this week not coming out directly saying he was crooked, but raising an eyebrow to the fact that whatever happens the rags always seem to do well, or rather benefit, with him in the various positions he holds.

To bring up again a previous point, if the FA can sack a liner for once playing for a club involved in an upcoming match HTF do they justify keeping gill in his prominent influential position ?

 

[chesterguy]

Arent United lucky to have one of their Directors as UEFA Vice President no pressure on the referees there then!!!!!!!!!!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Suppose he'll be running the Chinese FA.

Not sticking up for gill, who I think is a horrible corrupt rag, but unless the fa look outside of the game any appointment will have some club connection. I honestly don't know what the answer is.
