I think it is way too early to speculate and to spew angst.
It's been over a year since the "extension" was first mentioned by the club/FFA, and well after numerous indications it would be sorted by the end of the (last) season, then end of the (last) year, then... It's not early at all, it's well overdue.
I am specifically addressing today's half-baked guesses on what the actual conditions of the license extension are.
The actual extension deal is long overdue, and was handled atrociously by FFA, no argument here.
