Typical agenda driven football.

There’s a few home truths that need to be learnt, some people still believe the franchise was in a better position before Paul’s arrival. Finishing last with two points over two years and starting a give a little page to keep it going was the preference to an academy and increasingly better finishes on the table.

Personally I think this is an absolute shame. Paul and his team have done nothing but push and give since arriving against blatant cronyism and a status quo. A few people got their nose out of joint as a result of change, but the changes were needed.

still awaiting the positive feedback about using locals.

I want to thank Paul for his work and efforts over the past 5 years, I just wish Football South was able to give him and the other knowledgable and committed people a platform to improve most aspects of football in the region, not just at the elite levels. The academies and elite teams have certainly improved but cant say the same about much else.

The franchise has improved, but I am not so sure about the federation.

I think the improvements that have been made at the youth and development levels have been offset against the deterioration of the senior leagues and the overall football player base. Everything still seems disorganised and while acknowledging the improvement of the Southern team, the national league going back to club based means it has almost come to nothing.
