+xWhat have we missed"In the A-League it's all quiet with the Head of A-League Greg O'Rourke and his staff now reporting to the A-League clubs and not FFA, while fans wait - still - for the 2019-20 fixture list". Football Today understands that, just as when a government changes hands and points the finger of blame on the prevailing budgetary situation at their predecessors, the A-League clubs have taken over to find that the underlying financial position is 'worse' than they were led to believe. City Football Group 'consultants' are running the ruler over simply everything and are the chief source of advice and recommendations to the now independent A-League clubs. Let's hope CFG's consultants understand the Australian football environment a little better than Melbourne City has to date demonstrated. However, in their defence, CFG would claim that commercial self-determination will make the difference. Sauce I mean, blind Freddy could see that things were bad - up to the clubs to polish it into something sustainable now.

+x+x+xshould we be expecting an announcement today (or in the coming days) re the indepenant HAL? I assume there will be a commission-type setup to represent the interests of the HAL and the clubs with Greg O’Rourke as the head? Would be a breath of fresh air if they just released a written statement. Australian sport is so over the top with the pageantry about every single trivial (and big) thing. Low key please. Still nothing... no mention of this anywhere which is strange. I would think officially signing off on a-league independence would be big news, particularly for the usual suspects such as Vince Rugari. Could they still be ironing out the final details? They did have a meeting with Fox recently, I wonder if that has anything to do with it (the inactivity)? Nothing on their official site Last statement was 1 July “...FFA will retain a 20%, non-diluting and non-voting, ‘carry’ equity share in the League. Importantly, if a portion of the Leagues are ever sold in order to generate investment funds for further growth of the League then 20% of those proceeds would be allocated to FFA for investment in accordance with FFA’s objects.” https://apfca.com.au/new-leagues-working-group-nlwg-reaches-in-principle-agreement-on-recommendations-for-a-new-era-for-football-in-australia/

+x+xThe super rugby competition is one of the things contributing to Rugby Unions demise in Australia. A domestic competition played across 4 continents is absolutely stupid. Should be a lesson to the A-League as to why we shouldn’t even think about expanding into Asia, Australia is already big and hard enough to try and get around. It would be a logistical nightmare. The only logistics the owners care about is how to move money from SE Asia to their bank accounts. So true mate. Nuvo new dawn. New Ffa. Lowy would have done better. Etc etc etc. well said.

That's why Super Rugby's next tv deal will be close to $100m a year next year. The money is in Asia and the HAL needs to get some asap. What on earth are you on about? NZ and RSA are the only 2 countries that care about Super Rugby, and even they are caring less. The Japanese team has been kicked out after being a total disaster so there goes any Asian money for the Super Rugby deal

+x+x+xSurely the AFC would put an end to this silly idea before it begins? They would. And UEFA are holding back the formation of a European super league and they would not want some third world football country like Australia setting a precedent another reason for #NixOut ;) They’ll be tolerated until NZ has a pro-League I recon.

Australian sports admin are so fucking clueless we really need FIFA to take control of our game like they did a while back Maybe instead of spending hundreds of millions on building tiny stadiums we can actually use that money to buy players and be competitive in an open market If they want to give up on the Australian market and move to Asia, then they can go overseas and manage an Asian league

The European Super League makes more sense than an Australian/Asian league, at least with the Euro league, all the main countries are no greater than the size of WA

+xAustralische A-League zoekt uitbreiding in AziëNu in de eigen competitie de toeschouwersaantallen zakken, willen de Australische profclubs het over een andere boeg gooien. Ze nemen de A-League in eigen handen en willen die openstellen voor buitenlandse clubs.

“Australian A-League is looking for expansion in Asia
Now that the number of spectators is falling in their own league, the Australian professional clubs want to take a different approach. They take the A-League into their own hands and want to open it up to foreign clubs.”

+x+x+x+xI believe another team from NZ and one from Singapore would do the league good. Sky Sports would pay more $$$ so would the Singapore bids TV sponsor. If we were to ever expand into Asia, I see that as bad news for the Nix. Why? They'll only do it if it makes sense financially and there asset that the Nix own shares in will grow as will profits Geographic. Put it another way, if we were to limit the HAL to 10 teams now and the 10th spot is either the Nix or a Singaporean club, I think the Singaporean club would win financially. That's probably true to some extent, being in the heart of Asia helps with sponsors and investors. But the independent HAL makes the argument redundant as we don't know just how financially better off the clubs are going to be in the coming years.
