There’s the potential to do the same for women’s football as they’ve done for men’s football in Auckland. The chance was there to launch off the back of their great men’s season. Maybe the chance will be the same next season.
As for what requirements there are on owners are in their contracts with the league. However, you look at the effort round the league to keep the women’s league going and there’s plenty of it. You feel there’s an implicit responsibility to have women’s football, if not an explicit one.
So a hypothetical, if as all the business consultants in this thread agree, they don’t want to do it because it will lose money, can a different entity come in to run the women’s team? Surely that’d be embarrassing for the most cashed up owners in the league? I don’t think it’s simply that they’d be losing cash.
Most likely it’s not the cash, it’s the mess at APL, with different interests involved, 2 of whom are suing them currently!
All we know is it’s not happening this season, and there’s no rumours about next year yet.
