It's an NZF rule apparently. So they can rewrite the regs to not have a standdown period if they like.

How has it taken them 7 years to do so then? The benefits are obvious. 


Is it to do with making sure the league stays classified as amateur?  I think the FIFA position is 30 days but an individual country can agree to vary it

Yeah this part worries me. 

But thinking about it, what does the pokies care if other teams are amateur as long as the team they're giving funding to is 'amateur'. I confess I don't know the rules for pokie funding very well in this regard. the way people have been talking funding is given based on the league being amateur, but on reflection is this even actually the case?
