Danny Murphy says he would stand to replace Gordon Taylor as PFA chief executive: ‘I know Id do a better job’
Danny Murphy has said he would stand to replace under-fire Gordon Taylor as chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, telling talkSPORT: ‘I know Id do a better job.’The former Premier League star says the PFA is ‘not fulfilling its responsibility’ to players and is ‘not doing enough’ to support them after they retire from the game.4

Taylor has been in the role for 37 years

A group of around 300 influential current and former players are said to be calling for Taylor to stand down from his role.The 73-year-old has been in charge of the PFA for 37-years, but he has been urged to end his long reign in order to allow the PFA to modernise and evolve.Reports claim players feel under-represented by the organisation, while the PFA have also come under fire for Taylors reported annual salary of around 2.2million.

FA Cup winner Vinnie Jones has also slammed PFA chief Gordon Taylor

And in a passionate statement, former Liverpool, Tottenham and Fulham midfielder Murphy has given his damning verdict on the PFA and the organisations many failures towards current and former players.This is not a crusade against Gordon Taylor, he told talkSPORT host Jim White on Monday, this is about an independent review into the organisation because its not doing enough to help players and especially ex-players.The PFAs responsibility to footballers is huge, but its not being fulfilled.This is an organisation that has the capacity to help hundreds of people who are in desperate need and theyre not doing enough.The money they receive is huge and it doesnt compare with what they give back.4

Danny Murphy made over 700 club appearances in a career spanning almost 20 years in English football

There are so many areas of problems former players are facing that arent being addressed, and we are going to see more and more ex-players in real dire straits because of the inability of the PFA to help.There are a lot of aspects to this but the election process is probably the biggest subject – theres never been one!Ive been a footballer for nearly 20 years but Ive never been part of an election process, its never happened and it cant be right.Why has it not happened? Gordon Taylor has blocked the evolution of the PFA for years, and what Ben Purkiss has done is hes asked for the independent review to try and evolve the organisation and make it beneficial for those players who are struggling.Purkiss is a super brave lad, because hes tried to bring forward this independent review but hes being blocked and hes being discredited. The reason is, I think, quite honestly and simply is they are trying to cover up things in the organisation, the skeletons in the closet, and thats not right.4

Ben Purkiss, pictured playing for Port Vale in 2016, is currently chairman of the PFA

Asked if he would stand to replace Taylor, Murphy replied: Yeah, why not?I would, of course I would.I think I could do that job better, I know I could.Transparency is the key and all everybody wants, and this is including any man on the street with any union, is for it to be transparent and for it to be helping its members.

The @PFA are trying to cover up things going on in the organisation!" I personally know players struggling and they dont help. That is WRONG!Passionate rant from Danny Murphy pic.twitter.com/aDaXIbe3ty— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) November 19, 2018
