Compare the Jets FFA ownership to previous ones, also consider what would be happening should Sydney FC be in the same boat? FFA would be far more proactive. I think the FFA (and Fox) are happy as long as they have a blockbuster derby every few weeks to bring in a crowd and show off the atmosphere.
Newcastle is the strongest football region in Australia - if it can't succeed, then Gold Coast, Canberra, Wollongong, Geelong, Central Coast etc have got no chance. Wellington are on borrowed time and Perth have gone on the nose. The current top 6 are the league at the moment. How does the A-League grow long term in this scenario?
