-   Several officials at prominent NPL Clubs are going around the country openly telling people that, due to pressure from FIFA and Asian Confed, that there will be promotion/relegation in the A-League from 2016. It is understood that Gallop is offering several clubs a ‘nod and wink’ that promotion/relegation will happen, and that the NPL clubs spoken to will take Legal Action if Promotion/Relegation is not provided. It is understood that Sepp Blatter himself has backed at least one NPL club to ‘not be denied the right to have a crack’ at A-League entry.
-   Lowy is known on record from telling some NPL club officials that ‘under my watch, you won’t get in’ to soccer’s elite (refer to Lowy’s 2015 retirement and the strongly rumoured promotion/relegation from 2016)

Just thought I’d make it interesting before the World Cup.
