Editorial: 01/03/2011 - The editor of BOTN very rarely editorialises. In 11 years I think the need for axing Soccer Australia, the NSL review, input to and implementation of the Crawford report, Asia, MRP, and non-support for the W-League have stirred the dark recesses of BOTN's virtual office. This time it is the FFA again - what Australian football needs is "growth, promotion and stability" and the slow-torture axing of NQ Fury will not advance the Hyundai A-League nor indeed football across Australia. It is just wrong and the FFA should be held to account for its failures by the football community. Worth listening to:
