if a licensed club got relegated to nst that's one thing
I'd be amazed if a licensed club got relegated to the npl

could happen but I guess a lot of steps have to come frist before thats a chance of happening

start with the fa saying something (anything) 

are other clubs putting pressure on the fa. Spewing that Queensland lions didn't submit a bid. Could run the whole league with the money they grab from grannies.....not very ethical mind you

..... Um not that I like pokies in any way shape or form but you DO know where Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar get their funds from yeah? Not to mention Sydney FC and the Oligarch's son in law?

A league reddit has a couple of threads that have become anti nsl fests

One day all this nonsense will be used constructively by active supporters of each club chanting at each other rather than stopping clubs from playing

There are one or two twits there but there's a lot of healthy discussion going both ways. Some really good educational posts on there from those who experienced the NSL from different points. There's never one answer or description of NSL. The highs were good and the lows were bad, so there are all kinds of views. It could be endearing, it could be embarrassing. You could say similar things about many leagues around the world, even here still. People who say it was just one thing are close-minded fools. People who shit on NSL never saw the good, and people who laud NSL never saw the bad and shit on A-League today. There are wonderful people involved with both, and there are absolute flogs involved in both. I'm certainly not coming here to whine every time I see the "death to A-League" posts on X or Facebook etc... I did once and got it out my system haha!

Nope, still together. 
In fairness, at least both Alina and her husband Scott both do a lot of wonderful things for Russian-Ukrainian community in Sydney.

Also met David, a handful of times. A real football guy, look at how he made Zenit into a superhouse in Russia. Football wasn't even ever that heavily invested by private companies until he got the Peter boys (Gazprom) beliving in football's potential.

If only the game had adminstrators like him.

I think JJ is caught between a rock and a hard place, trying to spread the dollars around.
The APL , through its total incompetence, are now wanting FA to bale them out adding to the ‘voices’ clamouring for ‘this or that’.
I have been wanting and hoping for the pyramid to get off the ground and the NST seemed to be the way forward.

I don’t think the comment from @smfcmike is fair, FA’s promotion of the Matildas is reasonable and that is where the dollars are coming from.

Let’s hope that something can be sorted out to everyone’s satisfaction.

Im not so much fussed by the number of members in congress more so the weight of balance of votes.... 8 "clubs" hold sway over 1/4 of the boards decisions.....???????

Yeah, I always thought that the "fight" would be for who gets the "affections" of FA and its seems the APL has been strategic in promising key people in shit federations the right "incentives" to tow the line... looks like franchise football has won the battle, again... oh well back to obscurity for another 4-5 decades.... :(

yep we always thought JJ was in a corner trying to get light at the end of tunnel.
Real shame where its leading to by the look of it, nothing seems to change in this back water but the constant barriers keep standing in the way.

I couldn't agree entirely Matildas are the main FA dollar earners, sure a damn good one but so is the Roos, Qatar bonus $$ and the recent games at the G keep bringing more $$ to the coffers as well.
Its a win win.

At the end of the day, JJ is kinda powerless. If the board doesn't want something to happen then JJ has to follow that direction.
My guess is that the NST has gathered way more steam than the board had ever expected. I reckon they hoped it would fizzle out with all the speed humps they put in the way. Then when the reality hit and this thing was actually looking likely to happen, that's when all the backroom shenanigans begin happening.

Let’s see what happens after today’s meeting before we get too carried away.
 I think one of the things that the APL will be looking for from FA is to offload the ALW so for that reason JJ will have to look closely at it. 
With the Matildas needing generational change the A League Women and NPLWs will be the providers.

Would love a breakaway league as a backup plan, but what are the odds that actually happens?

You need a minimum of 8 clubs willing to put themselves out there as directly affronting the fa and giving up on any diplomatic solution. Are the 8 ceos in that basket? Then for p and r to happen you need some state feds on board. 2 is enough to start. But that means you need 10 people to make it work in some form

I hope souths have legal and political recourse, because if not that is a bridge burning interview. Does anyone know if they do?

I don’t think we need another breakaway league, look at what’s happening to the one we’ve got.

Would love a breakaway league as a backup plan, but what are the odds that actually happens?

Absolutely zero.
It was 7 years ago when the AAFC said the "second division would happen with or without the FFA". That's how long ago it was, the FA was still the FFA. Nobody wants to take on the operating of the NST except the FA. It could be done, but it would only be worth doing if the league was recognised by FIFA. The FA would not have to be involved in the operations but they would have to approve the league for that to happen. It would effectively be like the APL is now. A private entity that pays some form of license fees to the FA to operate the league.
Then the AAFC would run into the same issues as the APL are now. It would be a business, so it would need seed money and the it would need to make money to stay afloat.
Whereas the FA is not-for-profit so if they are running things it doesn't need to make money and doesn't have the same pressures.
The reality (right now) is the NST needs to be operated by the FA for it to happen.
