Again the ChCh United bid was apparently impressive, and it's clearly been a big ambition of theirs getting into this league. Their main focus even, for the last 12 odd months. For now this OFC League seems the perfect fit for Meyn's dreams. He has openly said he on his own can't afford to setup an A League club.
AFC apparently employed some sort of outside contractor to draft up their bid document, ie they spent some coin on a professional submission.
As with YH it always seemed that the Nix weren't hugely invested in their bid, more afraid and unsure of what it might mean for the future, if their A League rivals up the road got in.
I mean one club has obviously invested very heavily in their ALW squad in the last few months, the other club doesn't even have an ALW staff member (more an APL issue). Even the well resourced and monied Estonians may have struggled to balance everything, if say right now they were furiously busy starting a womens team from scratch.
