No argument their FFA are far from clean in this instance also.
Like it or not the yanks have the best system.
Each player is own by the MLS and are leased out to the franchises. The League pays the players wages directly by using the revenue from the broadcasting rights. I'm not sure how the DP positions work exactly, the League still pay their wages but they bill the franchise they lease them to I think.
This is the System the A-League should adopted I think.
Still I think the PFA are asking for to much of the pie, I seen a figure that the PFA are seeking 30% of the FFA overall revenue. My personal opinion is that the PFA should be entitled to 50% of the A-League/Socceroo/Matilda Broadcasting revenue. The PFA asking for 30% of overall revenue is asking for money that doesn't belong to them.
