Maybe I've missed something amongst all these posts. I probably have.
But in Australia, why on earth would anyone/club/franchise/group of smart business people - see value in buying the Phoenix licence?
It has virtual zero brand value in Australia.
The FFA have just given the green light to expansion, for 2 new teams - sure is not a given, with all governance issues going on!.
However unless you gave yourself very little chance of being one of those new expansion teams, why buy the Nix licence and relocate a team, with all extra "baggage" that would entail. Much much better to start your own identity from scratch.
Sounds bunch of shark.
