A-League = socialist?

MLS = socialist?

Salary caps, expenditure caps, financial fair play rules etc are becoming more prevalent in leagues all over the world. Makes total sense if you want your league to be competitive and sustainable.

Besides, it is almost beyond satire to call such an idea "socialist" in the context of a discussion about ACFC when their major source of funding since creation has been from gaming trusts (actually, one gaming trust). No club in the ASB Prem has made itself more reliant on handouts than ACFC (with the possible exception of Waitakere, whose gaming trust funding is at least spread over a number of trusts).

Surely there is someone at ACFC who can see the sense in proactively moving both the club and the league away from this model? It's either that or wait for the DIA to do it for us.
