and oh my god, they've got Ljubo in the video! give 'em the spot now.
That's an impressive video. On the surface, a much greater effort that the Fremantle City FC by comparison.
The data on the demographic and appearance of collaboration and unity between local clubs and council is a strong selling point.
As a neutral, that certainly sparks my interest.

We've experienced the pitfalls of signing players based on videos - now we are signing entire clubs. Have we not learned anything over the past ten years ?

here is a simple idea
there's been 15 bids for the A-league
the double effay should cut Wellington, take the top three bids and make a 12 team A-League
the remaining 12 are invited to form the A2-League, with promotion and relegation to happen after some initial settling period
I'm assuming the A2 league will have a ready made sponsor in that case...(still won't buy their milk though
)
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Serious issue here
This 2nd division mythological idea.
Considering the basic financial issues of it and the costs to send a 2nd division team all over the country etc
Going to have to allow clubs to spend what they see fit.
This is the reality of it if it ever going to happen
This being the case the simplest way for it to occur
Is to remove the Minimum spend and maximum spend of the Salary Cap in the HAL
Let the Gypos be as povo as they like.
Once you do this then there is **** all need for the FFA criteria of x amount sponsorship and all the other BS they are putting on these bids
A second division can be created quickly
To me the biggest thing holding up a 2nd division is the FFA and the exxessive level of control they are putting on HAL ownership and the salary cap
Both have to go
Australia is a tricky place for sport. As a general rule, sport in Australia is the complete opposite to football around the word, with exception of perhaps USA.
Australian sports fans want to see finals series. It’s a success in terms of marketing and fan engagement.
Salary caps in Australia create sustainability imo. Which is important here. But it means we fall behind in world wide competition.
I actually don’t see too much of a problem with salary cap. I think they could build in a few more loopholes to attract quality players. But if we abolish salary cap, Sydney and Melbourne teams will flourish. Clubs in non capitals will be left with dreggs of players and they can’t compete and we end up with a la liga situation when every year it’s between 2 clubs. Maybe 3.
At least now there’s definitive ebbs and flows of teams being successful and rebuilding for years.
If we got relegated one year, we sure as hell wouldn’t put enough long term effort in to be promoted. I for one am grateful that our status in the a league is more or less a certainty.
The game needs to develop, and finding a sustainable way to do so is important. Learning from mistakes from failed NSL competitions is important.
In a 1 league closed shop set up like the HAL is you can get away with havinbg a salary cap
If you are going to go 2 divisions and bring in promotion and relegation I cant see how you can persevere with it
Promotion Relegation is a system to allow success and innovation with advancement and punish malasise lazyness and poor planning with relegation
A Salary Cap would only be hindering clubs from finding their place
In a 1 comp set up you can have it but as soon as you looking at 2 divisions it has to go
they've won 7/13 with your stupid rules in place anyway.Sydney and Melbourne teams will flourish
the quicker the Double-Eff-Aye play on the egos of mega rich assholes and let them spend their way to the top (starting in the 2nd div) the quicker the A-League grows.
Rich assholes who own sports teams dont look to break even/make a profit on their year to year operations. they look to increase the value of their franchise by growing the whole damn pie. serious America is right there as a template. why do these idiots at HQ make it so damn hard on themselves.
