The A-league community needs to recognise that the league should serve one main purpose and that is to develop Australia’s youth. Develop them and sell them to Euro clubs. Be like Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark, Croatia, Serbia….list goes on.
That should be the core idea behind the league. More teams, more games, revenue model based on selling youth to European clubs for a profit.
The alternative is to keep living in denial that someday the league will become the EPL of Asia. Or that you’ll be happy year in-year-out that your Mickey Mouse domestic club with above average foreigners was able to win another toilet seat.
