This articles doesn't really add anything new. The metric targets are for an automatic renewal so even if we don't hit them it doesn't mean we are gone. And aren't the FFA making a decision about teams in October? That's a full season before the last of 4 seasons so there is no way they could announce three teams in October.
Even if FFA board aren't turfed, it's a very high risk move to choose an unknown owner/club over a club that pays it's bill, especially when CCM and Roar could fall over anytime. And on the playing side, is there really 45-50 Australian players to fill 3 new team?
