An independent A-League is set to be in place by March next year.
Dome says each club in the A-League will now be an stake holder of the A-League
Dome says the Phoenix will no longer have any special licence requirements placed on them that none of the other clubs have to meet.
"It gives us certainty now around the licence, it gives us certainty around the Phoenix's tenure in the A-League, we're seen exactly the same as every other club."
"It'll reassure our fans, some of our key commercial partners, who have been there since day one, it helps with the city and so you pull all the pieces together and it is certainly a very strong light at the end of the tunnel and it does give us a lot of certainty going forward."
