This is a real multi-dimensional issue here, and as usual we not getting all the facts..
I must admit, I did think about the ban in being a positive, given how poorly we are performing. And we might just need some time to get our act together.
But the bigger picture is, if we get banned, then we will have no games to improve. In this age, only North Korea can stay isolated and be competitive.
We need to be playing. End of story.
I think with the recent court actions, the Wallace group proved a point. I think we can all agree that it is a bit unfair how they were treated.
But when you check it, FIFA does this quite a lot, many times to big name countries, eg Argentina a few years ago. So I think us arguing that its personal with FIFA against the country is a bit of over-reach.
We all know FIFA is a mafia. They operate onto themselves. Just look at our own FIFA jefe Jack Warner.
But these interventions are typically only for a short time, ~1 year, I feel is best they just let them go ahead, and rally back in a year.
Typically there would be elections after this Administration period, not just hand back over the reigns to Wallace. I might be wrong here, but I think this is what is precedence.
If Wallace et al play it right, they will win many supporters for when the Administration period ends. But if we get ban, its game over for them for the future. Nobody will vote them again.
They need to think longer term now, and less emotionally, especially as they have won this court decision.
Just go to CAS and see what they say about the Administration and FA takeover. FIFA have been defeated at CAS before...
And guess what - if we do get banned, we might very well end up going to CAS to appeal that ban!
