Agreed,

Who would EVER believe state or federal money can be given to far right, race war inciting fascists in today's Australia? Or that the ADF is riddled with loonies, trained on the government's dime, wanting to go and fight for the Azov Battalion, another organisation helped both militarily and economically by the Australian taxpayer despite their abhorrent beliefs and history?? Or a bunch of "White Australia" loonies forming a state sanctioned hunting group .... wonder what they "hunt"?

Not sure what happens in your country but in this one we believe it is the burden of the accuser to prove guilt and trial by media is frowned upon. (at least in civilised society, wog haters are the exception obviously)

Even if the process was free and took only five minutes to fill out a piece of paper, it wouldn't even be with the $1 for a stamp to send the application off for them to apply. There is no chance they are in. 

Thats an opinion mate, not fact...... Not saying you are right or wrong, but they have a better chance than most.

Just to correct you on the Y-League, it will probably be played in line with the a-league season as its to cover for a-league youth players whom are not getting game time in the aleague.

However I do find the u23 teams in the NPL as an interesting compromise to avoid pro-rel in the short term at the very least.

Yes, I agree its opinion - but it's the opinion of a lot of people in football admin. I'd wager that even MK know they are no chance now. 

TBH, they have one of the best run clubs in Australia and have achieved incredible things - but they wouldve done well to own this problem on one of the many occasions that it has come up (over decades) and deal with it.

despite my arguments for them Im not really fussed either way tbh.. I do, however, think the competition will be "poorer" without them.... lets see what comes out in the wash. 

The Y-league, as a concept, seems to have stalled mate.. The Aleague franchises dont have an appetite for it and now, with some experiencing financial difficulties, its probably dead in the water.... 

LOL. saved for future reference. 

I'm not fussed about the y league

is there evidence it does better than having a 2nd team in lower mens divisions? Both of course would be even better, but travel is expensive in Australia. A u23 side for nst teams seems a positive thing

Mate come on. If the local German club had portraits of Hitler and Goebbels in the foyer that'd be pretty grim.

Not sure why you're using whataboutism to downplay this.

One of the local British clubs had a photo of Churchill on the wall, thats the same thing isn't it? He killed more Aussies and Greeks combined than Hitler ever did....

Anyway, done defending Croatia.... I havent seen any fascist paraphernalia in their social club or stadium, if other hard hitting investigative types have unearthed some sort of conspiracy Im not interested anymore. They are "just a football club founded by immigrants" for me....

thats it for me instead of looking back on and on........
Just sic of the ongoing questions of the past be it this or anything else today without mentioning topics for its a never ending discussion.

Seems very obvious that MK have financial issues. They knew the deal very well to join the 2nd tier.

Who rashly knows what’s going on with the NSD. If JJ goes to FIFA let’s hope that doesn’t change the thinking as he has appeared to be a strong supporter of the concept.

As for each club, they all have the right to opinions about what’s on the table, but at no point would anyone have considered this an easy or cheap exercise to participate in. It does carry significant risk to clubs given the outlay and unknowns of the financial benefits of being part of it. 

fair summary.... its ALL speculation at the moment...
