How interesting it will be to see where the FFA stands on this, and what the courts decide WHEN (rather than IF) the matter goes before them.
The fact that the FFV's position is so far removed from the FFA's blueprint, and that they have been so unwilling to work with the applicants, will hurt them badly when the matter is held up for close scrutiny.
Not at all surprised that you would share the FFV's thought process though.
Assuming you're right Benjamin, why would the FFV prefer to move to a zonal system? And why would they rather get rid of existing teams? Also do you believe the FFA aren't complicit in the actions of the FFV...in which case why are they taking steps outside he NPL guidelines?
N.B from a player performance/development point of view are there benefits in the model the FFV are proposing?
