So basically, the Phoenix can stay as long as they turn themselves into a financially unsustainable club by splashing cash on a marquee.

Top logic there FFA.

This would certainly put some pressure on Welnix to find a balance between buying a big name marquee and sustainability. Simply, if they can't do that, then it would make sense to fold. Having to have big name = losing money = not worth staying in the A League as a business proposal.

This kind of pressure may well result in Welnix finding a way and establishing a template for others to follow.

I think it will only be a matter of time before owning an A League club will be a money maker and I think Welnix are eating crow [so to speak] in the hope that day comes soon.
