+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xOn 10 October, Sunshine Coast FC received notice from Football Queensland (FQ), through their legal representatives, that they would not be invited to submit applications for participation licences for 2024.This effectively ended the club’s affiliation with FQ and left them without any state league competitions to participate in. Eight days later, FQ released their provisional declaration of leagues with Sunshine Coast FC nowhere to be found. However, a new club appeared that Wilkes believes is a direct replacement for Sunshine Coast FC. “Football Queensland then confirm that Sunshine Coast United is a new entity run by Football Queensland, and they will be entering the advanced league pathway stream,” said Wilkes. “We knew about Sunshine Coast United prior because [FQ] did exactly the same in the early part of 2020 when we had female SAP (skill acquisition phase) players in the under 9s to under 12s. “This Sunshine Coast United cropped up and took all of our junior girls, causing our SAP girls program to cease, to shut down. “After 12 months, that Sunshine Coast United disappeared … so they’ve had form on this.” This shit makes me so mad....... Im sure there may be two sides to the story but from the outside it looks like the former Brisbane City Aleague Bid poster boy is playing God up there and needs to have his head booted in.... Pays himslef an obscene salary to pretty much protect his mates investments... all the while kiddies are being fleeced to play NPL..... Nick Galatas on Qld ABC yesterday about the Football Queensland ding dong https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/south-queensland-drive/drive/103145052starts at 1:04:20 goes about 7 minutes. It just keeps getting better doesn't it? It does ... or doesn't Depends which way you look at it.  https://x.com/RobCavallucci/status/1731579643638252031?s=20 OMFG.... hahahaha @Muz and @tsf please tell me the language this clown uses doesn't remind you of a certain lower case individual preaching in the Extra time threads? hahahahahahahahah So this might be where still not having a Full Pyramid bites in the arse Looks like what Cavallucci is getting at, is that clubs that just decide to leave the FQ pyramid can't chose where they re-enter if they ever want to come back. Sunshine, Knights, GCU, Olympic etc haven't earnt promotion, they've just looked at fucking off to another stand alone competition for as long as they chose or get relegated. Re Sunshine Coast situation, They've been kicked out of FQPL1 (below the NPLQ) for reasons unknown at this point. Now, just because FA might let them in to the NST, that doesn't mean that they get straight entry to the NPLQ when Relegation starts operating. That hasn't been worked through or agreed. They haven't earnt their place in the NPL to begin with, even if they can afford to buy in to the NST 2025 https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/sunshine-coast/sunshine-coast-fire-reveal-overseas-competition-admission-amid-football-queensland-dispute/news-story/d6b6e53725bd213138080894b84e81f9  Holy shit!!!!!! what a mess. Weird FQ send them legal letters in Oct saying they're out with no explanation Then a month later FQ say there's nothing legal, and they're invited in and SCFC haven't bothered to re-enter Wouldn't mind actually knowing what the facts are behind the story, but no-one knows or will publish Yeah a bit suss.... I wonder why they didnt get an NST berth too, considering they seem to have cash to splash?

Melbourne Knights have rejected the NSD again, not surprised to be honest.

+xMelbourne Knights have rejected the NSD again, not surprised to be honest. Any idea what makes their stance on this so different to Sydney Croatia mate? Its gonna be shit not having Knights in the league... I mean sure South will ALWAYS get drawn them in early stages of the Australia Cup but going to Somers Street for the derby is one of the highlights of every season.

If Comparing the two clubs Bids for the NSD, i'd say its purely a Financial choice. Its a financial risk the knights are not prepared to take, whereas Sydney United will. United does have strong investors, sponsors and a wealthy president.

Interesting that Knights say it should be delayed. The can has already been kicked down the road once, I can't see what difference another 12 months or so would make.

The word I have from someone heavily involved in the club is that they simply don’t have the funds. The couldn’t absorb any kind of faltering of the comp and if that were to happen they’d be in an untenable financial situation, therefor have decided to observe from a distance for now.
I agree, it’s a blow for the comp, they’re one of the clubs I’d have said were needed for it to be a true second div and give it the best chance of success. As noted above their absence will be felt particularly in Melbourne where there will be fewer big matches to market

Nothing wrong with riding it out to see which way the wind blows in a season or two I suppose... Just really grates that Avondale are in it and not Knights....

You seem to have given up on P&R being how you get into this League ? Not at all... Fact is there is currently no mechanism for P/R to happen to/from NPL and from what I understand the bottleneck is with the state federations not being able to clarify what it is they want to do. In VIC the "understanding" is that if even someone like Preston (who are currently not in VPL1 - old NPL 2) fall from NST they would be relegated into NPL VIC (top tier) however someone like Sunshine Coast (if they get in of course) would be relegated to........ where? Cavalucci is playing hard ball, forcing them to compete in English youth leagues ffs.... Without South and Avondale, Knights will be a heavy hitter in NPL Victoria and, should they have an avenue to be promoted, I would guess they would build a squad to fairly easily do that..

Yep, so relying on Expansion to get in is risky, and may not be available ever and then the P/R mechanism (whenever it appears) is unlikely to be just winning NPLV There'll hopefully be the other NPL champions to compete against for any available place(s) All-in-all if this League turns out to be a goer, it might very well pay to be in on the ground floor or it might turn out to be another closed Lemon, Knights breathing a sigh of relief

Our board and president are pretty optimistic about the whole thing ... could be rose coloured glasses .... dont really know until we know I suppose... If it doesnt work thats it ... no two bites at the cherry.

This from smfcmike https://twitter.com/smfcmike/status/1779469086759723074?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EtweetI didnt catch the 3XY sports show last night but SMFC pres was on and states that: #BREAKING: On the #3XY   Sports Program, @SMFC President Nick Maikousis indicated that he was extremely confident that there will be additional teams announced for the #NSD/T following the full day meeting of foundation clubs on Thursday which included former FRANK’S @FootballAUS Chairman Anter Isaac.Apparently the name of the #NSD/T league was also shown to the foundation eight clubs. Sponsorship & TV broadcasting were also discussed.Nick indicated that in approximately 4-6 weeks this will all become public information. Numpkle, time to start your countdown clock ... set it for 6 weeks please :)

Its not going to take anything away from your franchise league.... except quite a few supporters.
