quere th APL bail out of WU...
I hope so. I was hoping that one day we would see 16 teams with decent enough support, playing the A League. Not ready for it I guess. I hate seeing any team in any country go defunct. Well maybe make exception for the alleged "top 6" in the EPL.
Yeah I like the thought of the ALM one day getting to 20 teams, with an A1/A2 split and pro rel. That's because I love the late season drama of promotion/relegation.
But really that's all pipe dream stuff for awhile yet. Be interesting to see how the inaugural Championship (NPL clubs) goes later this year. Size of the crowds, quality of the football etc etc.
The NPL clubs will expousing the 'we told you so' narrative to the APL, and pushing for any possible future expansion in the big Australian cities to be existing NPL clubs. That's outside possible new 'franchises' in areas like Tassie and Christchurch.
