My main concern it doesn't seem to mention pro-rel directly, unless im mistaken about point 4 in the principles.
Hes hoping its well received unlike the hopeless 20 year plan Gallop put out 5 years ago.

+xwhat a steaming pile of hot vapid air 11 great examples of how to actually say nothing who is getting paid to waste their time doing this shit? In summary form it is the usual buzzwords, but the underlying concepts are right.
The biggest issue currently is many of these points are going to take a lot of compromise and open up bigger divisions in the short term, as any rebuilding process is fraught with challenges. Hope JJ is as ready for that as he says he is.

Hope JJ is as ready for that as he says he is. And that is exactly the point. If he came out and said this is the way the way things will happen people would disagree with him for not consulting and say their pet view is best. JJ is not saying these are the solutions. I'm sure he has his views on what are the solutions for each of the areas but he needs to consult the stake holders. He is saying these are the principles against which we should be judging any solutions against and these are the areas that need to be addressed. It is not a solutions documents - but the solutions will based on it.

+x+x+x+x+x+xI think this is real progress ... my hope is we unite behind JJ ... to date history in Australian Football is so many people believe they have the answers ... ego's, etc... He can't do it by himself ... he needs key stakeholders behind him... To date JJ seems to have the support of key stakeholder groups... Thats all very well and good but the biggest and most important stakeholders continually get ignored. We don't have an argument there... Also as i amended my post later if he can create a 35 to 40 week competition with P & R, he will get lots of support. I long argued that the Lowies could manage any top 10 company in Australia ... but not be able to manage a park team canteen... In my lifetime only two people hhhmmm maybe three has understood the importance of connecting to local park teams ... Nick Tana at Perth Glory in the NSL, and before him various managers at Newcastle teams... The Northern Spirit copied PG and it worked... You could maybe go back further, but from David Hill [league & cricket], Ian Knob [I think thats how it was spelt league], JON [union], BB {AFL], Gallop [Cricket & League]. but we have never had well never had for years a Football person in charge and even when we had Football folk in charge most had biases many to their clubs. I like he said he wants to here from fans and sites will remain open to the end of the month. No idea if he will succeed, but he is a Football person, with no connection to any stakeholder group, and in various jobs at the PFA, AFC & FIFA a wealth of experience... he is on paper what we have always wanted... I hope he lives up to his potential and gets the support he will need. Nikou already made the statement last year at a fan event- “Football fans eager to see promotion and relegation in the A-League are set for a long wait. FFA chairman Chris Nikou has told a Football Writers' Festival in NSW that promotion and relegation is unlikely to occur any time soon. "The current A-League clubs have a licence till 2034 so promotion and relegation earlier than that is not likely," Nikou, a guest speaker at the festival, said. "I might point out that the FFA has a right to change that but in the current climate it would not be right for me to take this any further." https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/5971295/no-a-league-relegation-rush-from-ffa-chair/ Maybe BUT Thats not what the license want today. If an Australian Professional league was developed to a stage whereby investors could recover their investment they would accept P & R. So long as the top tier is run under a franchise model there will be no real football progress as main concern is always about protecting franchisee's investments and football comes second. Because clubs not under a franchise model aren’t all about protecting their investment?
Evidence from Europe suggests that’s exactly what they do.

I don’t think it is the usual buzzwords - not from the FFA at least. under Gallop’s leadership we got very holistic statements and crucially, very little execution.

Southern South America will surely host a centennial 2030, and after hosting the 2023 Asian Cup China will be hard to beat for 2034, meaning the next possible time we could host would be 2042.

Evidence from Europe suggests that’s exactly what they do. true, no one can argue PL/Clubs and the like protect themselves BUT AJF is right, whilst we have another tier, our top one as a separate entity via Franchise it will always be a mountain to climb to enhance change with those below them. It will always be about money, much more for them or more so not agreeing. I could be wrong, maybe it will be managed well together but I doubt it.
Love Football

Whilst its a bit corny, I like the idea of the 11 principles. Something a little bit different to grab some attention. The summary reads well. It is worthwhile not having a timeline on it, as there are a lot of issues which can hold things up. Once a deadline is missed, the nay sayers then come running. Better to not be specific, even though that engenders some angst from people.

+x+xIs the a-league separating or not? Why is the shape of the a-league being dictated to in a FFA document? No it is not. Then what the fuck was the point of bringing the FFA to the edge of collapse!!! Out of that chaos whe've had sponsors leave, ratings/crowds drop significantly and a drop in TV rights far bigger than other codes % wise. What the fuck is wrong with the owners?

The NSL didnt fail, it was killed by Lowy. The fact that 3 non effnik teams moved from the NSL to AL and all the old NSL clubs still exist (with their facilities) tells you that. NSL wasnt perfect and I agree it was probably time for a change, but what we have ended up with is a road to nowhere. I mean despite being the "biggest" and most profitable team in the AL, the fact MV still trains on a public park tells you the last 15 years have been squandered.

We need to find ways to embed the game and having infighting at every turn is never going to help us, which has been one of the key reasons for the lack of interest by many in recent years. The NSL failed because it wasnt professional. It didnt have commercial support and the best it could amount to was a breeding ground for overseas clubs The A League was supposed to open football up to commercial opportunities and improve the pathway. It was supposed to close the gap between the top league and the next level and Lowy even said he wanted 50% of the Socceroos team to be Australian based players for home games (back in the days of club v country debate) Instead the A League got greedy with metrics and now its about nothing but the commercial side of the game People who follow the Australian game do so because they are interested in an Australian league and Australian teams. By default they accept we'll never have the best players here but we'll at least have a decent league we can follow. At least one with dignity If anybody thinks the game here is boring unless CCM have a chance of winning the title, they are clearly the wrong audience and they should find another league to follow. The FFA need to go back to 2003 and start over. Look at what was important to the game then and deliver it

Let us save FFA lots of time and money on research, what is needed are these;
a) Transfer fees b) SECOND DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! try and fail rather than never try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! c) Further Expansion d) Lower fees to pay for juniors by Parents, get rid of bottom up system to fund seniors e) Youth rep teams to play more than 7 matches a year, minimum 20 matches
Each of these can be ticked off as each task is completed!

+xSouthern South America will surely host a centennial 2030, and after hosting the 2023 Asian Cup China will be hard to beat for 2034, meaning the next possible time we could host would be 2042. Agree with South America for 2030 - apparently to be shared between 4 countries. 2034 Morocco will probably bid for as well and would only be the second African country. We then need to get AFC support ahead of China. We have already delivered a good 2015 Asian Cup and if we deliver a great 2023 WWC then we may sneak ahead there. Again a combined bid with New Zealand and Indonesia may be the way to go.

+xLet us save FFA lots of time and money on research, what is needed are these; a) Transfer fees b) SECOND DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! try and fail rather than never try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! c) Further Expansion d) Lower fees to pay for juniors by Parents, get rid of bottom up system to fund seniors e) Youth rep teams to play more than 7 matches a year, minimum 20 matches Each of these can be ticked off as each task is completed! Point a,d & e are linked, if NPL and community clubs got transfer fees, then watch them lower fees and promote youth (ie give them more game time) as it would be an easy revenue source.

+x+xSouthern South America will surely host a centennial 2030, and after hosting the 2023 Asian Cup China will be hard to beat for 2034, meaning the next possible time we could host would be 2042. Agree with South America for 2030 - apparently to be shared between 4 countries. 2034 Morocco will probably bid for as well and would only be the second African country. We then need to get AFC support ahead of China. We have already delivered a good 2015 Asian Cup and if we deliver a great 2023 WWC then we may sneak ahead there. Again a combined bid with New Zealand and Indonesia may be the way to go. I'd like to see us as an equal parter in an AFF bid. They're already going for 2034: https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/1768444/thailand-to-lead-asean-bid-for-2034-world-cupThat article actually says that Indonesia and Australia had held talks about a joint 2034 bid earlier, so maybe that means we'd be allowed to join in.

That's a very interesting concept. Singapore and Indonesia already have or are building stadiums with retractable roofs. 55,000 in Singapore and 82,000 in Jakarta.. KL also has a 87,000 stadium used for the Commonwealth Games but it has a running track around it, Vietnam looks a long shot and Thailand can probably only cater for group stage games at the moment. If you assumed Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and us then we would host at least 20 games and 12 teams for the group stages, Throw in Auckland (the only stadium that would comply) and you would have an ASEAN-Oceania bid. That could be a compelling case against a China bid since none of those countries will likely get to host on their own. Indonesia could be a hub, Singapore and Malaysia and Australia NZ a third The only stadium in Sydney would be the upgraded Homebush, SFS will only be around 42,000. AAMI and Lang Park would all need to be expanded/upgraded. Adelaide would surely get their CBD stadium that they have talked about for years. If Perth want any games then Optus would need to be made available or a new stadium built (possible but unlikely). TBH though unless UEFA beats Sth America for 2030 they would 2034.

Just quickly on the franchise argument i.e. Hal clubs ... most NSL clubs were also franchise clubs ...
I, one million zillion % agree we need to move to P & R .... but all or most clubs across the two divisions will be franchise clubs..

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xI think this is real progress ... my hope is we unite behind JJ ... to date history in Australian Football is so many people believe they have the answers ... ego's, etc... He can't do it by himself ... he needs key stakeholders behind him... To date JJ seems to have the support of key stakeholder groups... Thats all very well and good but the biggest and most important stakeholders continually get ignored. We don't have an argument there... Also as i amended my post later if he can create a 35 to 40 week competition with P & R, he will get lots of support. I long argued that the Lowies could manage any top 10 company in Australia ... but not be able to manage a park team canteen... In my lifetime only two people hhhmmm maybe three has understood the importance of connecting to local park teams ... Nick Tana at Perth Glory in the NSL, and before him various managers at Newcastle teams... The Northern Spirit copied PG and it worked... You could maybe go back further, but from David Hill [league & cricket], Ian Knob [I think thats how it was spelt league], JON [union], BB {AFL], Gallop [Cricket & League]. but we have never had well never had for years a Football person in charge and even when we had Football folk in charge most had biases many to their clubs. I like he said he wants to here from fans and sites will remain open to the end of the month. No idea if he will succeed, but he is a Football person, with no connection to any stakeholder group, and in various jobs at the PFA, AFC & FIFA a wealth of experience... he is on paper what we have always wanted... I hope he lives up to his potential and gets the support he will need. Nikou already made the statement last year at a fan event- “Football fans eager to see promotion and relegation in the A-League are set for a long wait. FFA chairman Chris Nikou has told a Football Writers' Festival in NSW that promotion and relegation is unlikely to occur any time soon. "The current A-League clubs have a licence till 2034 so promotion and relegation earlier than that is not likely," Nikou, a guest speaker at the festival, said. "I might point out that the FFA has a right to change that but in the current climate it would not be right for me to take this any further." https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/5971295/no-a-league-relegation-rush-from-ffa-chair/ Maybe BUT Thats not what the license want today. If an Australian Professional league was developed to a stage whereby investors could recover their investment they would accept P & R. So long as the top tier is run under a franchise model there will be no real football progress as main concern is always about protecting franchisee's investments and football comes second. Because clubs not under a franchise model aren’t all about protecting their investment?
Evidence from Europe suggests that’s exactly what they do. you talk crap sometimes Waz, in an open pyramid the only thing that protects your investment is performance so clubs invest to stay up. Similarly, entry to higher tiers is based on performance. Strong survive, weak get relegated to their level. Franchise models, like AL, MLS and McDonalds are focused on placing artificial impediments to restrict competition amongst franchisees and maximize their investment return, decisions like where new francise's are located are based on metrics and not performance (ie lets add more derbies to main markets of Melb and Syd). I mean it is embarrassing that O'Rourke feels like he has to ask AL coaches to play attacking football to improve the product so fans may come back! Talk about peak AL. Coaches urged to remove shackles and entertain in A-League restarthttps://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/a-league-bonanza-revealed-27-games-in-28-days-one-week-finals-series-20200701-p557zf.htmlNice attempt at deflection but franchise model is dying, football public has lost interest in the stale product they are serving and if we dont quickly move to a traditional competition and club system, the few Fan Boi's like you that are still interested will be looking for new teams to support It doesn’t seem to matter what model has been used, as every decade or so we go through boom and bust cycles. The NSL used a more conventional club model and failed, so there’s more to it than that. We need to find ways to embed the game and having infighting at every turn is never going to help us, which has been one of the key reasons for the lack of interest by many in recent years. The NSL didnt fail, it was killed by Lowy. The fact that 3 non effnik teams moved from the NSL to AL and all the old NSL clubs still exist (with their facilities) tells you that. NSL wasnt perfect and I agree it was probably time for a change, but what we have ended up with is a road to nowhere. I mean despite being the "biggest" and most profitable team in the AL, the fact MV still trains on a public park tells you the last 15 years have been squandered. Factual correction. The NSL was killed by John Howard with Lowy as his henchman.

A lot of people arent prepared for that reality A professional game requires a professional and commercial set up. Some governments and local investors will back existing clubs (such as Wollongong) where as others will try to consolidate support in a region by creating a new club instead of backing one of 5 or 6 clubs in the region At the end of the day its a moot point. We need a professional and competitive league in place and whatever gets us that outcome is the best system. IMO people wanting their state league clubs at the top level is no different to those who want an AFL / NRL model. Its people chasing a romantic idea of how they want the game to work instead of whats practical Throw the bids out to the community and see what comes back

KL also has a 87,000 stadium used for the Commonwealth Games but it has a running track around it, Vietnam looks a long shot and Thailand can probably only cater for group stage games at the moment. Malaysia actually have two athletics stadiums in the 80k range, the 87k from the Commonwealth Games and another 80k one. The new 82k rectangular Jakarta International Stadium looks like it will be awesome and surely the leading candidate for the final for an AFF WC. Even Cambodia are building a brand new 75k athletics stadium for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games. Thailand really should build a new rectangular stadium where the old National Stadium is (site of my first international away trip, not to be confused with Rajamangala Stadium which is where their national team plays, but is only a 50k athletics stadium) as it's right in a great location in downtown Bangkok at the centre of their public transport. Of course, China are going to blow everyone out of the water. Guangzhou Evergrande have already started on their $1.7 billion 100k seater rectangular stadium, scheduled to finish at the end of 2022 so would presumably be used for the 2023 Asian Cup. It will eclipse the Nou Camp as the largest association football stadium in the world. They released a new design for the roof yesterday: Evergrande (the company) plan to build two to five more 80k stadiums around China as well.
