David Dein voted off Premiership FA panel

Just been on Skysports that Arsenal Vice-Chairman David Dein has been voted off as one of four representatives of the FA Premier League at the Football Association. Manchester United's Chairman David Gill has been voted in to take his place.

Heh.

In 3 years time everyone will want Gill out of the position because of he's looking out more for Man Utd than England... blah blah blah

It's just a cycle, that'll never cease.

Anyway Man utd cheated enough without Gill's help, so imagine what they could do now!

I mean, without they manged to have a perfectly good goal scored against them vs Spurs. Maybe they'll have whole games thrown their way now!

Damn Dreath, now you have me concerned about Gill. I dont see why they require anyone at all who is tied in with a club. They will always be fighting for their club over and above anything else. The whole thing stinks really. (N)

Well aren't all 4 people all club chairmen?

If they're voted in, I don't think we can really complain too much.

Although I personally think the whole thing should be scraped and just leave Scudamore.

If Arsenal can't have power then NO-INE can! :P

No way would I. I dont think ANY club should have an employee anywhere near the FA or the Premier League. I thought I made that clear already.

Well unfortunately Dein is still the FA vice chairman overall. As for United cheating, Arsenal haven't exactly been whiter than the driven snow have they "Cough - Old Trafford - Cough" not to mention referees miraculously reversing decisions during matches :rolleyes: Oh and the FA were hardly lenient on Rio Ferdinand for forgetting a drug test - Mutu tested positive for Cocaine and only got 15 months more than Rio did.

In fact I agree with pede54 - I think the FA representative panel should be independant of individual clubs as there will always be a conflict of interest and suspicions of inside dealing.

Problem is, you do need representatives from the premiership.

They have to be closely linked with the premiership, you can't have a non-premiership chairmen there because he's not suitable.

Perfect timing I would call it. He has abused his position at the FA for too long, and managed to survive many controversial scenarios he has been involved in.

Sam Allardyce said he was shocked to find out that Dein would be interviewing him for the England job. WTF was Dein doing interviewing potential England managers anyway? Who at the fA allowed him to conduct the interviews in the first place?

I think its about time that the FA put their house in order and kick Dein off the FA council too. As the Investigation into the latest scandal involving Dein continues, maybe the FA will decide once and for all that Dein is an embarrasement to them and to English football, and its about time that he was gone completely. The FA have only themselves to blame for allowing this weasel to gain so much power in the first place.

Amen to that. But then the FA needs a total reorganisation, especially with how long it takes to make decisions both disiplinary and regarding the National Team. Look at the total mess they've made of Wembley Stadium and the farce regarding McLaren.

I think your missing the point , there should be representation from a premier league club in the FA, it doesn't really matter which club it is , your a ******* idiot if believe there is any inside dealing. I don't this will make any difference at all.
I do think the FA need to change though the search for a manager was a joke.

The search for the new England manager was David Deins remit. He fu<ked it up from day one. He should never have been set loose to do his own thing in the first place. He didn't care who became the new England boss as long as it wasn't Wenger, and he made sure of that. He said Wenger didn't want it, and the FA took his word and left Wenger well alone. Maybe Wenger didn't want it, but to take Deins word for it was pathetic.

Thelonious.....if you don't think that the EPL representatives at the FA have the good of their particular clubs at heart, then you are the idiot mate. David Dein is a perfect example. The rest are probably just as bad but they have the intelligence to keep a lower profile. The EPL could easily have representation at the FA and it need not be someone affiliated to one of the EPL clubs. The FA is run by independent executives so why not the EPL too? Everything needs to be more transparent, thats the important priority. As it is, nobody knows who is pulling the strings at the FA.

I'm not entirely sure that the FA know who exactly should be running things - the organization is a joke. They seem confused and toothless - no wonder the game is in the state it is (organizationally) Look at how long they take to make major decisions, a player could assault someone in a match and not have the case dealt with for months, that's not fast-track discipline. Instead of worrying about trivialities such as "overcelebration" or the "dubious goals panel" maybe they should review suspect incidents on video even if not mentioned in the referee's reports. Or better yet maybe the referee should be required to view the major incidents of the same match afterwards to make sure he didn't miss any violent conduct or cheating. Obviously he can't reverse decisions, but he could recomend punishment for blatant rulebreaking.
