ADELAIDE United chairman Greg Griffin wants renegade club owner Clive Palmer to be a part of the FFA's business team.

While Griffin didn't agree with all of Gold Coast United owner Palmer's recent comments, he said Adelaide's principal owner, Robert Gerard, and Palmer should be working closer with Football Federation Australia chief executive Ben Buckley.

"Ben Buckley is no fool - he's done some serious negotiations for AFL TV rights," Griffin said.

"But a combination of Ben and some of the best business minds in this country like Clive Palmer and Robert Gerard would be significant in helping the A-League and in gaining the best for the game across the board."

Palmer appalled football's hierarchy and its fans when he told Queensland's Sunday Mail he didn't like soccer.

Gold Coast coach Miron Bleiberg resigned after the billionaire suspended him for saying teenage Mitch Cooper's appointment as captain was "ceremonial".

Yesterday Palmer posted on Twitter he liked the game, the FFA's chief administrators were overpaid and that Fox Sports' TV deal was "cheap" and free-to-air TV should be allowed to bid.

Griffin believes Palmer tweeted valid points as the relationship between the clubs continues to flourish.

Palmer allowed the Reds to host an original Skilled Park fixture at Hindmarsh on November 11.

He was originally listed as Adelaide's guest speaker at the Reds business lunch last Friday but had to cancel.

And Adelaide has also gone as far as listing Palmer's attempt in being named on the National Trust list of 100 National Living Treasures on its official Reds website. "Clive is running Gold Coast as a good example to all A-League clubs," Griffin said.

"He's got one of the worst stadium deals in the country and he is showing us the way with youth. It's the way to go for the A-League ... by blooding young players you set yourself up for long term survival."

Meanwhile, Asian Football Confederation officials still have not responded to declarations that Cassio's appearance in last Thursday's AFC Champions League clash was not legal.

Adelaide could be out of the competition if Persipura wins its Court of Arbitration for Sport case because Cassio had a potential suspension to serve from the 2010 Champions League competition.
