What’s to stop the A League clubs breaking away from FFA and running the competition themselves. Plenty of precedence for that type of move in Aussie sport.

Apart from rugby league and Super League which eventually failed, what other examples?

World Series Cricket was 40 yrs ago, in an amateur era, with the best cricketers in the planet brought together.

Also both comps were effectively the highest level of their sport in the world at the time.

I can watch online football from at least 10 other leagues around the world of a better quality than the A League.

Any “rebel” splinter would fail
