The Suits thread

Certainly wouldn’t out that being the case
Next steps will be to abolish the need for Aleague clubs to field junior teams as part of their licensing agreement - and I think eventually they will discard women's teams as they are too costly at the moment. They will also find away around Asian Champions league participation, opting for a "All stars Aleague concept" to be shared amongst all the owners and the commissioner so they can share costs...

I reckon they still have in their head that if they were to do pro rel it would be controlled version of it by making Aus Championship equivalent to an A2/part of the A league group/apl and just have pro rel within that 2 tier bracket with licensing agreements to get into that. Essentially what was “soft launched” a few months back though the media. And that way they can have their “reunification” of the game/reconciliation and undo what most now believe to have been a mistake in hindsight in doing away with the stronger traditional clubs whilst still maintaining some level of control over the product and they “solve” the problem of the licensing agreements/what happens to a franchise if they get relegated. Especially since they’ve not died in the way many expected at the time

I actually do not want to play these A League Clubs. I want the NSD to be the TOP division for 'real' clubs.
 
Has anyone ever produced and published a feasibility study into a second tier A-League with promotion and relegation between the two tiers?

Exactly right... and in a way I dont blame the APL at all. I hate football Australia for folding, but I dont blame APL.. If they allow the few investors, they are struggling enough as it is to attract, know that there is a even a remote possibility that their licenses will be rendered useless if they are relegated they will ALL pull the pin and the APl will fold.. they are protecting their turf... Like an Iraqi tobacco dealer :)
 
I would say the majority of the time of the last twenty years the a league has passionately denied that it is xenophobic

this includes calling criticism of active support racist
Sorry mate, I beg to disagree.. The Alegaue has promoted itself long and hard as a direct dissociation form the bad old "effnik violence" days... Its has clearly pushed the agenda (parroted but most if not all of its new fans) of a Mainstream Australian Paradise pty ltd were tribalism for the geographical sales area you belong to was considered a safer, family friendly alternative to celebrating our multiculturalism.
 
As Mono famously replied, " SAM ONLY SPEAKS FOR SAM"
Indeed, but I agree that I want the NSD to be the top division of football in this country and in fact consider it so..

I do however accept that the ALeague clubs (at least some) have become football clubs in their own quaint way - I don't blame their fans for the sins of their foreign owners, and would happily engage with them in a league pyramid provided they played by the same rules as everyone else.

Your first sentence now convinces me that your actively trolling, or you are drunk!
