+x+x+xI don't understand how people can be anti-Super League but pro-A League. It's the same concept. This is going to be a controversial opinion but it is my opinion. I think people need to realise that these owners have realised that these clubs are global brands and people will pay to watch them, whatever league they decide to play in. I think football fans are also at fault.. clubs were created to represent a geographical area and yet we have people on here who support clubs in London, Manchester, etc and they've never even travelled to that city for a holiday, let alone lived there. Watching them on TV is not the same, no matter what reasons you want to give me. THIS! Pick and choose the concept when it suits them.... It's not picking and choosing, it's Horses for Coarse, we can't afford to have an open comp at this time in Australia (although I'd like to see it in the future), they can't afford to have a closed comp in Europe (As it would destroy 150 years of history, and probably multiple smaller clubs). ESL concept lasted 2 days (although it far from over and will rise its ugly head in the future I reckon) yet Aleague concept has lasted 17 years. WE CAN afford an open comp here, the only objectors are 12 x franchise holders.... and their ever diminishing band of sycophants. What about the 150 year history of clubs here? ... Thats not worth preserving?

Super League DOA.The people have spoken.At least those in UK.
MLS and A League stand alone.
I wonder if FIFA will now act to make Promotion /Relegation mandatory?

+x+x+x+x+xOuch, thats gotta hurt the feelings of a few on here... They can rail and rant all they want in Europe though, this is happening. Like someone wrote on the other thread, The financiers of this couldn't care less about the average football supporter in England, Italy or Spain... What do they care if no one at Anfield or Trafford speaks English next year and its full of selfie snapping tourists? There are millions and millions of pimply Asian and North American kids sitting in front of their tablets and Iphones fondling themselves in their Real Madrid and Juve tops hassling mum and dad to subscribe as soon as possible. It absolutely sucks balls for the true fans but financially, to the investors, it could be a huge goldmine .... why the Aleage owners think they can sustain the same thing is a different story all together here .. their customers are walking away and nobody in the rest of the world cares. Have to laugh at Luzy Zelic, Rugari, Foster, Schwarzer and all these other journos and commentators railing against this new league with absolute no sense of irony that the A League is supposedly what they all hate. Best one I heard today was that the difference between ESL and Aleague is that by not having relegation in the Aleague this is protecting teams from going into financial ruin and folding...... by a Newcastle fan .... hahaha I have been laughing since lunch time..... Also a Victory supporting mate tells me he is praying for UEFA/FIFA to punish all of CFGs clubs and he hopes Melbourne City get enough of a point deduction to drop them below Victory on the table....... hahahahah This whole thing would be such a huge hilarious thing to watch unfold if not for the few true fans of some of these clubs involved.... I'm a 35-40 year fan of both Liverpool and Barca but not really going to care one way or the other, my respect for these clubs has just disappeared but I know a lot of people are hurting by this and considering the year we've all had its not good. As for Rugari and his ilk ... what the f@ck does that muppet know? He is so busy defending his indefensible hypocrisy that he is slowly disappearing up his own asshole, just like the APL who must be horrified by how many of their "customers" here are pissed off by this... I can imagine DiPietro and the fruit shop boys all in zoom meetings going " hope the plebs in Australia don't put two and two together and realise we've been getting away with this shit for 16 years" Laugh away, if relegation occurred in the ALeague the comp would shrink to 6 team (max) as the others would fold, team's to fold if religated CCM, Newy, Brissie, Wellington, Perth, and the new team's too. And you think a 3000 person crowds from SM, will cut the mustard? Why would professional clubs fold when relegated? Dont they have fans that would still suppoort them in the lower tiers and sponsors that would stick with them? How did the ex NSL clubs survive their relegation (actually being excluded from top flight for 17 years is a fate much worse than relegation)? Y did SM need to avoid relegation in '79? Didn't they have fans who'd support them in the lower tiers? As for them surviving, NPL teams are semi-professional, key word there is "semi"

It's all about positives and negatives, and we get alot more positives out of the closed shop at the moment, but that may change in the future

Let's face it that is a big possibility for some of the clubs.

Also licences aren't sold, their leased (the last renewal being until 2034), so re-evaluation can be done in the years leading up to that date as to whether P/R is a useful tool for the competition .

Part of the agreement with clubs who get promoted is that they have to meet x, y and z or else they can't go up that season. There are examples of this all over the world. The FA needs to set the standards for each division and go from there. At the moment, they are refusing to put out a blueprint.

Before my time in Australia as well But most I've found see the organisation as anything from naive to chaotic Main problem is those who now desperately cling to the idea that it was the Pyramid concept that was to blame 20 years ago.

No disrespect here but there is no way we can allow semi pro clubs to be apart of the aleague, otherwise it will set the game back 30 years as a semi pro league again like the NSL was.
It needs to be full time professional league with full time professional teams, with a second division involved and then you can add pro-rel down to the NPL from there.
Otherwise we will be left behind by the likes of Japan, South Korea, the middle eastern leagues whom have far greater resources whom are not running their clubs in hundreds or thousands but in the millions whilst watch the level of the national team fall away even further.
We need to raise the bar not lower it and if clubs want to apart of the professional game in Australia then a line must be drawn.
By the way why haven't we heard from the AAFC or Football Australia about the NSD? Very quiet.

Sanity prevails here, people power wins but I have a feeling this is not over by any stretch of the imagination.
This will hurt the owners egos but they dont how much damage its done to their reputations as many won't forget this.
It seems like the bad PR was going to be a factor, with almost everyone against it from the start.
I can see them making another attempt at it maybe post 2022 Qatar, but one thing is for sure is football won't be the same even after this even with a expanded champions league format which doesnt help the smaller leagues and clubs that much.

+x+xAnd as quick as that the rebellion was over Yes, but the intent was there and always will be. They played their hand and it will be just a matter of time when the planets align a bit better for the clubs. I think the severity of the reaction will make anyone think twice about doing anything similar in the future. Heads have already rolled, and we haven't seen the fallout even begin properly. Fans of the clubs involved are baying for blood.

Strange phenomenon seen around the rest of the World, - As a club climbs the Pyramid it signs better, more highly paid players
- More supporters/fans/customers appear for the more successful teams, less for those going the other way
- There are 2 million Football 'fans' in Australia (if you beleive the FFA official figures)

Let's face it that is a big possibility for some of the clubs. That's not true. It's a fear amongst owners. Most fans couldn't give two shits, look at MV - if you took a vote they'd probably vote to be relegated as they believe they deserve it. The owners are no different from those managing clubs in the NSL days who I said before argued against relegation. The vast majority of fans in Aus ultimately want a strong professional competition with pro/rel.

But, but, but that 2nd division..... only if it's 'professional enough' only if its been going x years and shown itself to be 'stable enough', 'sustainable' only if it can prove we can survive if we get dropped in there This same crap comes from the chickenshit A-League fans as much as the owners

Zelic and Foster have never really supported the A-League.  And? He wanted to get in when it suited him. I guess you didn't see the negativity, the mocking , the laughs and jokes about the quality he and Les had on SBS e when SBS was sidelined. Of course both changed their tune later. For a while.

+xI don't know mate. I'm not old enough to know the ins and outs of the NSL but football has changed since then. ba boom, football has changed as have clubs etcetc, no Club can operate as it was back in the past, they wouldn't last 6mths BUT one thing hasn't changed as quoted by one of the most respected coachs in the game to date, way to go Pep : And Guardiola did not hold back at all."If you ask me about these teams that have been selected for this hypothetical competition in the future, I don't know the reason why," he said, per Manchester Evening News. "Sport? It is not sport when the relation between effort and success and reward doesn't exist. It is not a sport. It is not a sport if success is already guaranteed. It is not a sport if it doesn't matter if you lose."That's why I said many times that I want the best competitions as strong as possible - especially the Premier League - and it is not fair when one team fights to arrive at the top and cannot qualify because the success is already guaranteed just for a few clubs.Read more: European Super League: Everything you need to know about breakaway league."This statement is what I feel. I don't know what is going to change and people say maybe four or five teams can go up and join these teams but what happens in the 14 or 15 don't have a good season and every time they are there? This is not a sport."

Thankyou Pep, you wouldn't need to tell us your thoughts on MLS and our AL :)

+x+x+x+x+xI don't understand how people can be anti-Super League but pro-A League. It's the same concept. This is going to be a controversial opinion but it is my opinion. I think people need to realise that these owners have realised that these clubs are global brands and people will pay to watch them, whatever league they decide to play in. I think football fans are also at fault.. clubs were created to represent a geographical area and yet we have people on here who support clubs in London, Manchester, etc and they've never even travelled to that city for a holiday, let alone lived there. Watching them on TV is not the same, no matter what reasons you want to give me. I think a lot of people that are pro-A-league are also in favour of pro/rel in the A-league. You're either ProPyramid or not The A-League is a closed shop If you're Pro A-league, you're Pro Closed-Shop doesnt get much more simple than this. the fear amongst A-league Fans is once a A-League club gets relegated, they will cease to exist and fold. Let's face it that is a big possibility for some of the clubs. The vast majority of fans in Aus ultimately want a strong professional competition with pro/rel. Very true ... The argument should be around how to get it done... constant infighting and people in NSL camps, A-League camps, European Camps, .... all with in their minds valid reasons... One day I hope someone will produce some kind of mud map to follow that has enough detail that we can see P & R coming... but accepts the fact it is never going to happen overnight.... and only when we have a common purpose will Football grow... Perfect example IMO is the Lowy era.... IMO the first 3 to 5 years were needed to get us off the floor.... the issue was we kept the recovery model rather than further develop the recovery model.... best example of this was JON, the CEO who coined the phase One City One Team... after twelve months he understood his mistake and went to Frank Lowy and said we need a team in Western Sydney and another team in Melbourne... Its history now Frank said no we are staying with the One City One Team.... Six months latter JON resigned siting differences that he saw we needed to expand and the board did not... Naive maybe, but my hope is someone or some group will develop that plan we can all get behind... I guess everyone has to give a little... no one is going to get everything they want...

+x+x+xAnd as quick as that the rebellion was over Yes, but the intent was there and always will be. They played their hand and it will be just a matter of time when the planets align a bit better for the clubs. I think the severity of the reaction will make anyone think twice about doing anything similar in the future. Heads have already rolled, and we haven't seen the fallout even begin properly. Fans of the clubs involved are baying for blood. agreed, the multi rich owners will try other ways in the future no doubt about it. For now the movement has been cut off, at the same time its time UEFA was pulled in as well for they are part of the prob milking the cow for so long - greed again. Hopefully this will get a re set Global football needs. I see Boris is looking to introduce new legislation for the future : The prime minister gave a strong hint that one long-term solution could be to oblige English clubs to give fans a majority stake, based on the so-called 50+1 system used in Germany. Things like this make for good back up.
Love Football

You're either ProPyramid or not The A-League is a closed shop If you're Pro A-league, you're Pro Closed-Shop To say if your not one your the other, is a rediculous way to look at the world. It's all about positives and negatives, and we get alot more positives out of the closed shop at the moment, but that may change in the future Being a closed shop is the whole founding basis of the A-League. Every decision made is reliant on it being a closed shop - no relegation,
- no competition in your franchise zone
Go to Pyramid and all you're left with is the Trademark Keep pushing that false narrative bud
