The A‑League's problem isn’t football, it's culture. Unless that changes, nothing else will

I genuinely thought when "Frankly Speaking" was mentioned that it was sarcasm. I had no idea you actually existed lol.

Like a particle in quantum field, I only exist when observed.

Who measured your phase without your permission

Global phase or relative phase?

 

[grazorblade]

Global phase or relative phase?

we only need the the global phase if we want to know about the phase of the entire Universe (in the process making the number of particles in the universe no longer real)

The relative phase is ok if you have a good enough clock to act as a reference frame

Uh

Sure. Now find an investor who sees football as philanthropy and is prepared to stump up millions for a licence fee and lose at least another 2 million dollars a year.

Admirable sentiment but completely divorced from commercial reality.

I doubt there's anyone involved in owning A-League clubs that aren't losing millions per year.

I doubt there's many owners in any professional football competitions around the world that are actually making any operating profit on a season by season basis.

Certainly. But they are in much larger markets and thus subject to blue sky thinking.

Impossible to see someone investing that kind of capital in a Tasmanian team when you have Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast with larger, rapidly growing populations and suitable stadiums already in place. And there's Canberra.

Bottom line it's that there is no suggestion of money for any new teams.
