The real question is, how would a guy with absolutely no experience with professional football affect the association?

Actually, it’s a plus point to have a lawmaker as our football association president. It is not a must for the president to have played the sport. Certainly he should be a person who could market the sport, pump more money into sports through sponsorship deals, having the experience and knowledge to manage such an organization and even have full support from the government. In addition, he should be a person with interest and have some amount of money and word power in the country. In my opinion, MP Ilham is a person who has most of these requirements. On contrary, IF our fa president was a footballer in the past, he would be totally uneducated and would not even have minimum capability to manage an organization. For your info: Richard Scudamore (EPL CEO) - Lawyer/Sales Director Paul Tagliabue (Best NFL Commissioner without a lockout!) - Lawyer Roger Goodell (NFL Commissioner) - Economist David Stern (NBA Commissioner(creator of NBA Dress Code) - Lawyer Garry Bettman (NHL Commissioner (creator of the NBA salary cap) - Lawyer Bud Selig (MLB Commissioner) - politician/businessman Reinhard Rauball (President of German Football League) - Lawyer/Politician I have just include some details of people who are leading the biggest and successful leagues in the world (sorry, I don’t take liga bbva successful) because that’s what we want next in here! Thank You.

There are experience and more capable people behind ilham and his exco , do u think Ali AZIM did anything exiting in his 4 year term ? I guess NO maybe some people might say he won u23 tournament but that was not in his 4 years it was the time he violated FA statutes
