With the APL crying poor, Paramount having their own problems and FA looking at a new broadcast deal from 2025 including NTs, Australia Cup and NST you would think that FA may be interested in combining it all including the APLs into one package with both a FTA and streaming component. The APL may need to be open to P& R earlier than they would like.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xThey'll need to look at getting out of that deal early. I read something on here that may happen this year? Or am I misremembering. That's unsustainable for another 5-years. All clubs would need to re-structure. They should be carefull what they wish for mate, who else is going to pay to broadcast soccer in Australia? At least enough to distribute 12 million to franchises anyway? Theyll end up having to live of whatever handouts the FA can afford... Lets hope they dont take anything away from the championship budgets. Is it possible they can have a league the second division npl all on YouTube? Feel like that would be something a subscription that gives you heaps of football Stephen Lowey predicted this would happen , taking the money admin away from the people that understand money letting the clubs have free rein and Silver lakes $130mil blown mostly on an app that nobody could find . shambles Lowy didn't predict shit. He didn't read the room and couldn't figure out everyone fucking hated him. On his way out while the door was hitting his arse, he fired off a "you'll be sorry" like any other mope who just got dumped. People make it out to be some Nostradamus moment. Well the A-league in a good period was 2013-17 when western Sydney Wanderers just entered the comp. The A-league and Socceroos package was worth 40 million a year, but it was actually 37 million a year as 3 million a year was spent on advertising. We also had one free to air game on Friday night too. The next tv deal was around 50-60 million a year for like 6 years but that was cut off during the pandemic. And yet the Lowys and the FFA were poorly running the sport here. Lookin' at the situation now.... That 2013-17 period was like paradise compared to the current situation now. Yep the APL have done a bang up job. Those A-league club owners wanted freedom from the FFA. Well you got it. The A-league has grown significantly.... Into a joke LoL But yet the standard/quality of football has increased So.... Why isn't the average game getting 20-30,000 a game? Why isn't there an average 500,000 people watching an average game? Good questions that I don’t know answers to. AL crowds/tv subscribers haven’t been the same since covid hit. Now there’s a cost of living crisis. There might be more tv viewers if AL was broadcast by Optus cos they also show EPL - people that pay for Optus for EPL are less likely to pay for Paramount as well just to watch a lesser league? I know the answer (or at least I think I do), it is Media. You absolutely need personalities at the top end of the game with strong business and media connections. If not, you will become irrelevant to the mainstream market and the professional game suffers and takes generations to recover. Football had its golden ticket in the Lowy family. A family with (in my opinion) a genuine love for the game, deep pockets and, most importantly, strong business, political and media connections. It is not surprising what the A-League achieved in that time as a result. We now have a bunch of, in Australian business terms at least, a bunch of executives with little or no influence. Accordingly, the game has fallen off the cliff. Sounds about right. They Lowy family had deep pockets to grow the sport in this Nation. They had strong business, political and business conections. Take that away and look what the a-league is now. Its a poxy league run by unemployed dole bludgers and bums. lol

Nine …probably would want Stan as part of the deal.
Seven…they would bury it in the after midnight slot.
ABC….possibly but sports broadcasting is not their thing.

AL might have to cut its losses and sell broadcast rights for all games to FTA. AL started on foxtel and never really gained enough viewers and interest- compared to other sports- cos foxtel was always fucking expensive. If AL started on FTA it may have become a lot bigger by now. Start again maybe

I’m backing FA to go with Optus and SBS.
Optus would love to add Oz football to their package (see their ‘football belongs’ shorts from some time ago still there for free)
FTA content would be taken back either free or for a token fee on SBS.
Whether APL want to take the opportunity to ride on the back of a Football Australia ‘super deal’ will be up to them.

Unfortunately this is most likely true. It will have to be a give away. With APL covering broadcast costs. My view is that unless Optus take it as a bundle, the A League will fold.

If you think Promotion and relegation is the difference between this sport living and dying, then you are sadly mistaken I didn't say that. I just pointed out that the APL are not in a position of strength. JJ has said he wants a traditional pyramid in the long run. It may be sooner than we are all thinking.

Ramon just being the razor every post of his goes. Correct as you quote PJ. Whatever happens happens, this is Oz football.
