Hey Midfielder, I generally like the fact that you take the time to come on here and don't share the opinion on your posts that some others do, but saying that I don't think this article is correct.
David Dome was on the radio immediately after this exploded and said that the AFC told the Phoenix and the FFA that the ideal length for an extension is 8 - 10 years, so that is why we only asked for 10 and not 20. He said that the AFC is not the issue here.
Compared to the commercial side of things the AFC issue is overblown.
That article is extremely poorly written, really wishy woshy and hard to read, and is just conjecture with no facts. Of course as we know where there's smoke there's fire so there is of course a problem but it will be within one faction and not the entire confederation, and relative to the immediate concerns this is a non issue. He also directly contradicts himself by saying the AFC won't split any time soon, and then in the same paragraph that one high ranking person in the AFC told him that it will split within the next decade.
Otherwise you're just repeating the commercial realities that we all know about and WelNix is working to address.
But lets just focus on the things that we can do, like increase numbers and increase awareness of the team. We have absolutely no way of influencing the AFC.
