Even though I cop flack on this forum I have continually broken news on 442 - particularly where smfc is concerned so hear me when I say....I Know that the FFA are in fact very much the architect of the NPLV model

The FFA directed the FFV for their Champions League model in Victoria 5 years ago with an objective to have Licensees representing each zone as the premiere comp in this state over arching the existing state leagues

Today Vuctoria is isolated with its version of the NPL for good reason

Victoria is the strongest state league in the country with an assett rich membership (clubs)

If the Victorian Version of the NPL was executed nationally this year across all the states then the stronger state league cubs would surely form a break away national football league -> at the very least the Eastern and Southern states

By 2022 Football will have a revolution in place in Australia

AFC has demanded a true national 2nd tier (not by state) be in place with promotion and relegation by 2022

Problem with the game in Australia is that Currently the FFA HAL model is driven by a licencing trademarked model which is privately run by its investors and formulated so that the financials of each club is centrally managed and distributed to its franchises after licence, administrative and running costs are withheld - this means that the HAL Licences are the sub servants to the FFA and the program is designed for the FFA to be the beneficiary whilst the clubs take the risks

The issue is not about allowing ethnic teams to 1 day have the opportunity to to be promoted into National Football - but more specifically clubs that are not licensed the opportunity

The FFA MASTER PLAN is to ensure that - clubs are buried down beneath the commercial line at a community level within a localized zone meaning proud clubs such as Melbourne Knights will only participate within its zone with a lid on any potential opportunities to once again become a commercial reality as their success will not provide revenue for the FFA even though this will be good for football by way of diversity and reach V the other codes

The Plan

Commencement in Victoria is a critical step for the FFA to replace a non licensed club competition from playing at the highest level in its state and within reach of 1 day participating at a national level by implementing a competition that will field new licenced consortiums as the Premiere competition within its state

Once implemented in VIC: Qld and NSW are next and they too will have the same model imposed within their states with a fully fledged National Premiere Licenced League in turn with its non licenced membership driven clubs participating in their own zones as sub servants to their licensed zonal rep

The Resistence

Club unification in Victoria was not expected and an historic moment

This will land at the Supreme Court and more specifically the issue will potentially be unresolved for up to 5 years meaning that VIC will operate minus a NPL version of its own thus severely impacting the objective to spread the current NPL_V model nationally to the other states

Also the 50 clubs have centralised their resources to fight this at all levels for as long as it takes

Also just as pertinent is the fact that clubs interstate are also looped in as to ensure that unification is not only within the confines of VIC but shaping the future of the game nationally - they have been briefed and are monitoring carefully the outcome in VIC as this will no doubt shape the game Nationally and fear for their own welfare should the NPL_V Model be implemented in VIC

A National Tier 2 by 2022 is being shaped only for private and licensed consortiums (....if the FFA has its way)

2 Universes will collide and a new one will be formed

.............................

One more thing

I have no doubt this thread will be locked:lol:
