I think you're mixing up the successes under the O'Niell era (qualification for the WC in 06, awareness raising) and attributing that to Buckley.
Buckley came into the sport after O'Niell when popularity was at an all time high, and squandered that success.
He has a lot of critics in soccer circles.
He also had a lot of criticism for failing to deliver on investors for the Sydney Rovers licence, which was his baby.
The criticism re: The World Cup bid, was always that he took the eye off the game locally whilst promoting the bid. Two clubs went under, another half dozen went into FFA administration and average crowd dropped from 14k high when he took over from O'Niell, to substandard 8k.
The crowds only picked up again in his last year on the back of Lowy ramming the Western Sydney franchise through into the league in 2012.
Like I said above, he got replaced by Gallop because the FFA had lost confidence in him and his negotiating and management skills.
Regardless, he certainly has credentials and I'm not saying he will be a failure. Just trying to give some perspective to the decision.
He couldn't be worse that that unprofessional goose Bradshaw.
A bit hard on Bradshaw, but it is time for him to go and I would be happy to have Buckley running our ship.
Probably, just not a fan of the man. And yes he was good early days and did help us out, now I just feel he's holding us back.
Could be wrong though.
I'm not sure who implemented the change but whoever decided to move soccer from competing with all the other football codes in winter, to summer, made a great decision I reckonI think you're mixing up the successes under the O'Niell era (qualification for the WC in 06, awareness raising) and attributing that to Buckley.

Frank Lowy made all of the big decisions for the first few years so I guess he's the one to thank for ensuring a nutter like me who supports both footy and A-League passionately is now bereft of an off season longer than one week.
Nope, I believe it was Stefan Kamasz (ex-Syd FC CEO) who campaigned for the change in the late 80s when he was head of the NSL.
They've been playing in the Summer for a good 25 years now.
Jeez, 25 years already. Felt like 10. Where did those 15 years go? Too many schooners I suspectNope, I believe it was Stefan Kamasz (ex-Syd FC CEO) who campaigned for the change in the late 80s when he was head of the NSL.

It is common enough, but it is frowned upon unless the person in the dual role is exceptional or the organisation is insiginificant in size or scope.
The problem is the board is meant to evaluate the role and performance of the CEO, if he isn't doing a great job it can be problematic to address it at board level.
You don't think it would occur to the rest of the board to maybe send Carl out on a coffee run while they have a bit of a chat about his performance?

Don't let these facts get in the way of a good story...Under Brayshaw North has reduced debt from $8m to $2m in 6 years despite spending $15m on a top class training facility. In 2014 we had record membership and $400k profit. Over the past two years the club has secured quality assistant coaches and free agents and made a prelim for the first time in many years. You can't expect Brayshaw to coach the team and you can't expect him to play. What he has done is resource a much stonger club than existed before his tenure. Credit where credit is due.

Never fear Brashaws going the distance," At the AGM in 2017 I will hand over, and where I hope (the report is) right is I think Ben Buckley would be an outstanding next chairman of the football club.”
Awesome work Jim yeah I think Ben Buckley will do a great job as well.
Pity you won't consider moving on, probably one of the reasons I don't like you, just saying.
I would not be surprised if there is a rival ticket for the presidency in 2016.

So what do we do about the fact that Buckley lives interstate.......
