A-League operations boss quits over Queensland clubs' fallout

MICHAEL COCKERILL
April 9, 2010 - 10:23AM

The A-League is facing the biggest crisis in its short history with head of operations, Archie Fraser, resigning in the wake of the troubles surrounding the three Queensland clubs.

It is understood a frustrated Fraser - at the coalface of the successful rescue operation of North Queensland Fury - has informed Football Federation Australia chief executive Ben Buckley that he was stepping down, although he may yet serve out notice.

Scottish-born Fraser, a former player who ended his career in Brisbane, has been running the A-League for the 12 months after leaving his previous post as chief executive of AFL side St Kilda.

One of the few FFA officials with a football background, Fraser has been heavily involved in sorting out the recent dramas surrounding Brisbane Roar, North Queensland and most recently Gold Coast United.

Brisbane have avoided FFA ownership thanks to the fire sale of three of their emerging stars and the Fury have been saved by an FFA rescue package.

However, the future of Gold Coast United looks dim after flamboyant owner Clive Palmer told the governing body he would stop paying the bills at the end of next week.

did he have anything to do with the decision to award the license to the 2 Qld cluster f**ks?

If he didnt, scapegoat.

As much as I have criticised him for his statements, he at least had some credentials.

I just wonder how much say he did have, and whether the FFA still ignores the 'Crawford' based football reforms when it comes to A-League governance?

If correct, (Cockerill has made several big claims today) one would need to ask what the hell is going on behind the scenes in the executive of FFA to cause Fraser's decision?

Lip service, only. Bad habits are difficult to throw, be they be dressed in NSL jeans or a three piece FFA suit.
