Back to the point - Burnham seems like one of the few genuinely decent politicians, and has a bit of profile, so it's better to have him involved in any capacity rather than not at all. His track record suggests he gets things done, so hopefully he'll involve himself in helping grow the game, from grass roots through to mainstream media at the top level.
Andy Burnham is far from a decent politician.
He is currently presiding over one of the most corrupt police command teams in the country, and has been provided with huge amounts of evidence concerning multiple serious crimes and has so far done absolutely nothing about it.
He is great at shouting out corruption and making waves when he isn't the one that has to act.
When he is charge, however, he cowers and fails to act.
A disgrace of a man and politician.
Even lowly Leigh used to delight in administering those thrashings.
