To have a CEO in charge in the amount of time Gordon Taylor was is bound to cause staleness and take a look at the findings of the independent review and the summary was published. The PFA does some fantastic work, but in some areas it could and should be doing so much better. A new forward thinking CEO will breathe new life into the whole organisation.
That organisation should be awash with money given the salaries of many current players. Its priority should be supporting retired players, or current ones in difficulty.
Gordon's salary/bonuses was at one point and possibly still might be, the highest salary of any union boss
I think they do. I worked with the FFE&VTS in the 90's, they were part of the PFA. At that time, even a player that only progressed to earning a YTS contract was still supported, with funding for post football career development etc.
That's correct, as soon as you sign YTS or a youth contract these days, you can become a member of the PFA
