  Lowy also fired parting shots at some of the A-League owners, including the City Football Group, who own Melbourne City.

“We welcome foreign investment in our league. It is more than welcome; it is crucial. But when it comes to the whole of the game, it should not be controlled by ­foreign interests. That is what is at stake here.

“To those who are tired of the debate and wish for an outbreak of peace so that the game can get on with life, I say: be very careful what you wish for.”

Blame Game

To be fair, as dodgy as the Lowys have been, that's not exactly an empty statement. Giving too much powers to clubs, especially when a number of them are foreign-owned, has bitten many a national association on the arse in the last decade or two.
