Faulkner elected to FA council

Better to have someone in the FA hierarchy than not,

[Risso]

Personally I'd rather he concentrated on sorting out the continuing mess at Villa, of which the appointment of Lambert is but the first step.

you don't think he's doing that? It is possible to do other things to better yourself and the position of your club and continue to do your current job effectively.

I have no idea what the FA council does, but it can only do the club good to have a board member on it.  I imagine David Dein has done Arsenal no end of favours over the years.

I have no idea what the FA council does

Given the total shambles that is the FA and the national team, not very much, I'd guess.

I read that the council has 92 representatives so nothing to get too enthused by.

Well they do have to represent the affairs from the lowest to the highest level, it isn't all just about the pro game.

Maybe the FA President "invited" him on board so he can have a chat about his team when there is meetings.

I'm not quite sure why the "f**k me" comment.
Do we have to criticise absolutely everything positive that comes out of the club ?

I wasn't criticising anything coming out of the club?! "F*ck me" was just genuine surprise bearing in mind the general consensus of his track record so far. As per my next comment, I hope the securing of Lambert is a corner turned, bearing in mind he is only young.

100% agree with Dave that's is better having someone in than not.

[gervilla]

Surely Dave Whelan is on this already ?

[JD]

Dave Whelan runs it and he wanted some representation from some smaller clubs, like Villa

I know it's going off topic but I was pleased to read soemwhere this morning that the Liverpool CEO Mr Ayre has slated Whelan for the sideshow remarks about Martinez when he was being interviewed by the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' hierarchy for the managers job.
