I doubt we would play in the championship
True Greeks? Έλληνας, εσυ δεν είσαι
Alexander didn't die of aids and he died in Babylon (modern Iraq not Iran) after fathering 2 sons you τουρκόσπορο.
This would be the case because if South Melbourne get promoted to the A-Leagues then our reserve team would be ineligible for the Australian Championship but at the same time it would have to lead to a change in the competition format as we qualify anyway as one of the foundation sides.
Auckland got 11 months between being awarded the licence & their first game.
and what we're after. Maybe he's told the big boss Infantino about his goals to join "old and new football"... the timing of it all is quite immediate into his tenure.
Actually might be season after then if 5 months might be to short
APL are looking to make a decision regarding who gets the Canberra A-League licence within a month which would secure Canberra United's future and allow for expansion of the A-League Men preferably for next season but most likely for season 2027-28.
I reckon they'll easily be fine, South are up and running already! Just a couple of signings at the top and you're there. Wanderers were built from absolutely nothing in 6 months.
That's like saying you'll never have anything to do with Germany or Japan after WWII. Things change, gotta move on mate.
In addition to making the new signings should South Melbourne make it into the A-Leagues there inevitably needs to be cullings of players who aren't of the necessary calibre also.
Swap Macathur for Marconi while you’re at it. In all seriousness though, the problem being this would amount to a “legal settlement” with your competitors and do nothing to address the broader structural issues within the game. But as you say it would be some form of proof of concept that it is hypnotically possible, probably a bit late in the day for “peace talks” though
Might be easier to have Sydney United take over Macarthur because of the shared owner. Give Marconi a license too.
Unlikely the fa would go for that imo, they clearly have an uneasy relationship with Sydney united, I also doubt united would be keen. Could easily make a case for Wollongong wolves too imo, should have been them to begin with. Personal bias aside I say Hellas and Marconi because they’re the two most successful traditional clubs, and probably the most financially stable with the most suitable facilities and would be the lowest hanging fruit re “building bridges”, relatively low risk etc but again, none of this would do anything to address the structural issues, would likely amount to the APL trying to “do a deal” with old soccer. Personally I’d want all of the traditional clubs to be able to get in if they so desired and were able. All of these are hypotheticals anyway coz I doubt it’ll happen
Assuming their fans will leave the club in droves if it becomes part of a franchise right?
I dont see us ready to go in 5 months either!
