When will politicians address the real issue?

It's suddenly dawned on me, there's only one real issue in this election - getting us the bloody world cup

I don't care about hair-dos, MPs' expenses, or even NI - the first politician who makes it a major election campaign to woo the corrupt FIFA board has got my vote, the economy is screwed whatever happens, but the tournament needs securing

Vote Football!

New FA Chief Executive Named

The Times is reporting that Ian Watmore has been named the FA's new Chief Executive, taking over from Brian Barwick in June this year.

Watmore is a lifelong Arsenal fan, and has recent experience of national government, serving as Permanent Secretary for the Development of Innovation, Universities and Skills.

Top priorities will be England's 2018 World Cup bid and The National Football Centre in Burton.

Barwick, who left his role on 31st December 2008 will be remembered for his very public and very embarrassing failed attempt to secure Luiz Felipe Scolari as Sven Goran Erikssons replacement. He attempted to move past this calamity by hiring Steve McClaren as England Manager. History may redeem Barwick if Fabio Capello can bring that long sought after success that England Fans demand.
