So, seeing as we're top, I think it's time to discuss this further. I'm not sure whether there's already a thread/topic on it, but:
When is the Phoenix going to be allowed to enter the Asian Champions League?
How can they enter?
Does anyone actually want the Nix to participate in the ACL?
If they can't enter, would they be too good for the OCL?
Discuss.

We will not be able to complete in the ACL unless New Zealand becomes part of Asia. So it isn't really worth talking about. As far as entering the CWC as part of Oceania we should have a side qualifying pathway for that imo. Like a seperate tournament.
Let's sort out the A-league licence first.
Agreed

That's the problem though you cant have a separate tournament because it would mean the phoenix playing in the Asian con in one tournie and then oceania in another! neither federation would let it happen. It has to be one or the other

I prefer not to ask the FFA questions about the ACL, we can't demand anything. Quite frankly it is more important for us to get a licence extension. I don't care about the ACL, I care about the Phoenix staying in this competition.

If you look at the effect on WSW, who would want to be in the ACL anyway!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
I think the ACL is a bit like the Europa league or League Cup. If you win it you can make it a big deal and celebrate but you don't care much about it until you make the semis.
