So are clubs breaking away from FFV to form a non-FIFA association and run a football league? If so - best wishes to them.

If not, it is likely just an incorporated vehicle for pooling assets (ironically) and the related liability to seek a Supreme Court injunction. If this is true, it suggests the usually litigious South Melbourne FC are not prepared to take legal action alone and that they have decided this new association is quicker than seeking permission from 51 General Meetings for legal action and having to manage such action among individual clubs.

If I were the FFV, I would be pleased by this turn of events. It provides significant insight into their advice from Counsel.

Interesting times ahead.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Deadline day drama for NPLV plans?
THE battle over Victoria’s National Premier League model heads to the Supreme Court on Thursday as some of the most powerful clubs in the state seek to scuttle the new competition structure.

Have your say.

Just out of interest mahony, where did you spring from out of the blue and how did you become such a strong proponent of the state league clubs' cause?

You've been a member since 2008 and you have hardly made yourself noticed in these forums until this issue with the Victorian NPL gave the bitters here an opportunity to show their ugly face again.

Personally I think you're a multi, but putting that to one side, what is the club you follow in the VPL that has provided you with such an incentive to come out of suspended animation after all this time and engage yourself in such a full-on attack on the establishment and the local federation?

If you're not a multi, how come you haven't given a fuck about anything football since 2008 you multi?


And you're an "a.league.addict" so what the fuck do you care about State League matters?
