Financially-smashed A-League clubs can expect another huge hit in April, with a TV broadcast rights expert predicting Fox Sports will cancel future payments while the competition is shuttered - and possibly walk away altogether.

A quarterly installment believed to be around $900,000 is due to each of the 11 clubs next month but with the league locked down by the coronavirus, rights holders Fox Sports aren’t expected to sign any cheques for non-existent content.

Colin Smith, head of the consultancy Global Media & Sports, fears the beginning of the end of Fox Sports’ $57.6 million annual commitment to football may be imminent, with the sport unable to deliver on its contractual obligations and now technically in breach after Tuesday’s suspension by FFA.

“In normal circumstances Fox Sports would not want to shoot down football when the A-League is facing its toughest scenario,” said Smith.

Vision, planning? All things of which you have no proof of not happening. But what about the disastrous supporter relations that Lowy and Gallop left the game in? There’s some solid proof of how not to run the game. 5 years on and still the game has never recovered. What a state of affairs. 

That word 'Vision' is exclusively owned by a former administrator of a rival sport, his name was John Ribot. I don't think that word can be carelessly and recklessly used unless we pay royalties to him. 
Gallop had to pay to use that word a couple of times.
