Dear @rorkygreg @FFA & @green_dot, please find below an open letter outlining my concerns with details of the Western Melbourne Group EOI #ALeagueExpansion submission that have been made public. Happy to dicuss off-line. https://t.co/Xnc2tWAQUZ

After the Anter Isaac interview with @TheRealBozza & @adampeacock3, on @SEN_Football, how confident are you in the leadership of @FootballAUS⁉️

[utdwrld🔰 @utdwrld999]

@SMEMUFC It will fold sooner or later mate. NPL or Aleague, real fans continued to get banned without any way to fight the appeal. It’s a doomed league. Should shut shop and start again. The women’s league is the only thing worth fighting for at this point but they’ll never back it anyway

[SM Pete @SMEMUFC]

@osaussiesadam Ask yourself a question, when the professional game directly controls 41.67% of the game, who’s interests are the board going to look after⁉️

IMO, it’s not the 2,500 clubs across Aust. Why else would FA effectively throw away multiple $ millions of APL debt as “loss allowance”⁉️

[Adam Howard @osaussiesadam]

This dude talked about sustainability or something, didn’t he? So he wants clubs who have survived numerous situations over 6,7, 8 decades to prove that they can be sustainable in an open system from the position of a closed system? The state of those running out game is f**ked

[SM Pete @SMEMUFC]

Monopoly privilege creates many uncomfortable talk-arounds.

[Mick Attarian @pmens72]

What garbage.
He’s saying clubs who have existed for over half a century can prove themselves at national level yet they allow franchises in with no pedigree at all.
Complete dribbler

[SM Pete @SMEMUFC]

🚨ANTER ISAAC HYPOCRISY🚨
Says FA’s most important constituents are the 2,500 clubs across 🇦🇺

Then says he could support APL by >💯. Noting, APL’s interests are mostly in conflict with the clubs.

Then claims $millions of 🇦🇺⚽️💰lost to APL was a loss allowance, not written off🤦🏻‍♂️

[Mike @smfcmike]

@Gibbogibbo123 @joekayfootball @SMEMUFC I’ll add that clubs would largely fund travel via an increased annual participation fee.

@AAFClubs had modelled that this fee would - from memory - be in the
$150K-$200K range per season.

[SM Pete @SMEMUFC]

@pmens72 @smfcmike @FootballAUS So how much do you think it cost to have FA staff & board members attend the World Cup⁉️

I doubt they flew cattle class & stayed at 3 star hotels‼️

[SM Pete @SMEMUFC]

@PatronSaint2 @NickGalatas @FootballAUS @aleaguemen @SEN_Football Not just any website, apparently it was a Silver Lake experimental web site 🤦🏻‍♂️

We’re back in the days where foreign interests are testing their nuclear weapons in Australia‼️

[Paul McNamee @PaulFMcNamee]

@joekayfootball @smfcmike @SMEMUFC That’s not what the FA Chairman said. His quote regarding the Championship “This competition will always remain like NPL Champions League”. With respect, his use of the word ‘always’ is not really ambiguous

🚨Anter Isaac on #AusChampionship🚨
🗣️this competition will ALWAYS remain like that NPL Champions League‼️

Effectively saying we will never get the league format that most clubs & fans want‼️

IMO Isaac is too focused on 💯supporting APL than he is rest of game

WE NEED REFORM‼️

[vizzybrain🇦🇺 @vizzybrain]

@SMEMUFC @smfcmike This interview is a damage prevention one, not for the love of the game. We seriously need new leadership in FFA

[Mick Attarian @pmens72]

The incompetent fools running the game into the ground.
This idiot makes Ian Knop look a genius.

[Jude Thaddeus @PatronSaint2]

@NickGalatas @FootballAUS @aleaguemen @SEN_Football 2020 each A league team got 3.8m dividend. This year its 580k each. Meanwhile the A League blew 30 million of broadcast revenue on a website that lasted just over a year. If there is any 'ponzi' fraud happening it aint the clubs doing it.

[Chief @SrSittingBull]

Viable clubs, branding, exposure, showcase, attraction.

It’s all lip service and perpetual delay tactics to avoid the elephant in the room. The greatest embarrassment in the game is the semi-professional Australia Cup champions will have played 60 odd games this season compared to 26 for the professionals.
