Aleksi Olkinuora sent the PDF, and I asked him to make a small summary of this story:

Aleksi Olkinuora: ” EAF makes decisions by personal relationships, not based on facts or rules.

EAF has switched the Finnish Federation from the original (registered in 1997) to a new one (registered in 2011) and claims that the new one has been an EAF member since 2003. The new organization is run by EAF Head Referee Harri Naskali, so it’s obvious that the personal relationships has affected to the decision made by EAF board.

Read the whole story here.”
