Seems like they have burnt their bridges with the FFA. And all's bet on the change in governance.
When you've got no plan B, and you are out in front in the vangaurd for the other club managers, it's a fight to the death, and fighting talk just might be appropriate.
Borrowing someone else's comment; I hope we win.
lets be honest - there really were no bridges with the FFA to start with. We have always been and always will be on the outer with the FFA. The only bridge (so to speak) is a draw bridge that lowers when the FFA want to threaten us or demand something they demand of no other club.
Getting rid of the FFA and having the clubs run the comp has been the only way forward for the nix from the get go.
