There is the saying that all publicity is good publicity

Maybe football should just embrace a bad boy image and chase negative headlines

Likewise the A-Leagues app isn't letting go of Western United either, still holding out some hope that the club will be revived come season 2026-27.

Even though it was at the expense of other teams I still don't think it was a bad idea per se nor a bad location.
