I haven't been aware of other club owners making noises about throwing us out [but haven't been following closely enough to know if they have]. My feeling has been that Morrison and the other owners have been working hard to wrestle control off the FFA and having independent governance of the A League - presumably something like the EPL model where the actual clubs have a big say in the run of the show. These guys won't have the same reasoning as the FFA is getting rid of the Nix, their bottom line is likely to be profitability and as long as they are not losing money because of the Nix, they have no reason not to support us. It makes it very hard to get rid of us if we are part of the A League governance group and playing an effective role. I think part of the A League owners gripe is that the current set up doesn't give them the opportunity to make any money with the model having FFA siphoning off any chance of that happening.

I may have missed something, but yes generally the other current A League club owners seem supportive of the Nix. It’s the new expansion applicants who are seeking to undermine.
