The "realistic" alternatives have been presented, have been modelled by volunteer groups, have been discussed on these threads add nauseam... People who DONT want unity will never "understand" or even want to... modest growth but unified and fair.
You can never MAKE a soccer competition become an entertainment product or an investment portfolio through sheer willpower alone...
All the massive leagues around the world (and even AFL/NRL locally) that have what you all crave developed into these massive financial empires over decades of grass roots growth/ not despite it... The Aleague may very well one day get to the same lofty heights but by the time it reaches the economic stability and viability oif say a league like the French league today, The French league will be broadcasts throughout the solar system and away days for it will be in Mars and Jupiter.
