It is kinda good that Ernie is experiencing the FFA wrath. It proves to a very intelligent coach, exactly what we have been bitching about for some time. It shows him now, that we might have some grounds for feeling shat on. This Wee Mac thing is a prime example. They might want us in the league, maybe, but they certainly dont make is easy for us. And I mean, they dont make it as easy for us as they do their local teams. Eg the youth league league, the reserve league.
The NYL has been a bit of a expensive myth to most A-League clubs. Perth Glory - Bis Roar and Adelaide all stated its a waste (of funds)and wanted to put there sides in there local competition instead (And do now I believe).
Using the ASB prem for our Res side makes sense however I guess Australia has more talent and we would benefit more so to play there.
Also if the Welnix's tried to DEMAND shi7 a 'la Clive Palmer we could be remove from the league. There is no way we provide 4.5 bil views to Foxtels A-League market. Yet there is a market here maybe with a Darby we could see higher numbers.
I still remember the FFA asking for us to be in the ACL - They didn't have to, but they did and the answer was NO. Cant blame the AFC can you imagine Thailand or Indonesian not having a team in the ACL but a "New Zealand team" gets in?. Think about it.
