Going to be incredibly controversial here, but other than the CWC money why do we need to be part of this?
Would prefer no teams. Keep the ALM teams in the ALM and keep our domestic talent on the domestic scene. Splitting our football clubs across 3 different league structures is ridiculous.
Would personally prefer any investment to go towards grass roots and the football community across the country, generating domestic interest and all that.

Firstly, having any NZ teams involved is massive, for keeping the OFC pro league relevant and for whatever NZ clubs get in.
Secondly, whatever money is derived from the comp will help immensely with running costs for both NZ ALM teams.
Finally, NZF, who invest in grass roots footy have nothing to do with the ALM teams so none of their money is being spread anywhere. Assuming the Nix and AFC get some kind of reserve team in this league then its likely they'll move one or other reserve side out of their local comp and keep the money they make to fund their academies
