The FFA is the worst of both worlds. It behaves like a government but has the limited spending power of a private enterprise.
oh absolutely there needs to be govt money involved. the fact football isn't even on the radar whilst the state govt is throwing around 1.5b in stadium upgrades just shows how unorganised and terrible the FFA is at greasing the wheel of these scumbag pollies.

problem is the current FFA structure doesn't allow the owners to make a dollar, and thats what they rebel against.
They need to go the route of the American sports, where owners own the league and appoint a commissioner to do their bidding. You wanna see investment? just get a bunch of ego driven rich folk in a room together and tell them there can only be one winner.
