FAW makes strange appointment

 BBC Wales is reporting that the nation's Football Association has appointed Angela van den Boigerd as "head of people". Quite apart from the nebulous job description (is it the same as a personnel director or head of HR?), there must be questions about installing a person who was at best heavily implicated in a programme at the Post Office which illegally destroyed the livings - in some cases the lives - of countless sub-postmasters and -mistresses. 

The news comes a day after ITV Wales revealed a lack of diversity throughout the administration of Welsh sport. If the FAW really did want a new people person on the board, they should have been looking to the likes of Nathan Blake.
