@joekayfootball@SMEMUFC@smfcmike The only roadblock is FA/PFA demanding every club is fulltime. Clubs should professionalise on their own when they see fit. Every pyramid has a tier where there’s a mix of fulltime and part time clubs.
@joekayfootball@smfcmike@SMEMUFC How many clubs have stated publicly they are willing and able to join a H&A comp? Olympic Kingsway and Adelaide city are two I can recall. Would also assume 7/8 foundation clubs would also be in.
@vizzybrain@SMEMUFC@SEN_Football Either FA has no strategy, or it has one it won’t make public because it can’t defend it as being in the best interests of the game
I’ll translate 37 mins of Anter Isaac’s corporate spin/stuttering/fluff
- The @AusChampionship will always be a CL style format and never fully fledged H+A
- We created it to shut up clubs like South Melb because they’ll never get an A-league license
- Canberra + other markets
@SEN_Football For whether FA forgave money owed by the APL and the betting dispute, he spent minutes talking on reconciliation and improved relationships, then mentioned a loss allowance without explaining the amounts or financial impact. Where's the transparency?
@SEN_Football@TheRealBozza asked whether A-League licences legally prevent promotion and relegation & he avoided giving a definitive answer. This is a fundamental question for the future of Aus football. Do contractual barriers actually exist, or is it simply a lack of political will?
@SEN_Football He effectively deferred promotion and relegation to the APL. FA is the national governing body, regulates the A-League and holds an equity stake in the APL. Why is the future structure of Australian football seemingly being dictated by the interests of existing A-League owners?
@bawv1959 No mention of apl looking to bring in south. Just Canberra and “other opportunities”. Also took bozza spelling it out for him to admit that the APL has the say on prorel.
@bawv1959 Spoke about the need to adopt long term thinking then provided zero detail about what the long term vision actually is and instead goes in circles talking about “sustainability”
Interesting hearing Anter Isaac on SEN saying words to the effect of balancing financial interests of NT players v wider interests of the game, namely the 2,500 clubs across 🇦🇺.
But where was this when FA effectively wrote off several $ mil to APL⁉️Do as you say, not as you do‼️
@SydneyFC 🤣🤣🤣 you are probably the most negative “manager” if that’s what you can call yourself I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m first to put my hand up and I was terrible so no probs on that. But seriously.. doesn’t it get tiring saying negative things about your team every week?
Time to open the pyramid in NSW the lack of accountability for the Npl clubs is an absolute joke with aspirational association clubs have nowhere to go
