Interesting article by Michael Lynch in the SMH. I wonder if a revamped competition would want the Nix? Could it open the door for a second NZ franchise?
"Is it time for the A-League to stand up on its own and leave the FFA?"
Should the flagship domestic competition sever its ties with the FFA and run its own affairs?
Would it be better served by having its own administration, a separate and distinct body, with its headquarters in another capital city far from Sydney, most likely Melbourne?
Could it do a better TV deal if its negotiators only had to worry about securing money and coverage for the clubs who put on the show rather than money to run a plethora of national teams and underpin grass roots football and game development?
There are many who believe that if the A-League was spun away it could herald a new start for the competition.
