It would be an incredibly stupid move for the FFA to not extend our license, considering they talk openly about the need to expand the comp, and 2 other clubs seem to have possibly uncertain futures anyway. I think this all just jostling for the best position at the bargaining table. It would be pretty sweet if the upshot of all this is a free-to-air network picking up the A League in NZ. So little sport on free-to-air these days and a lot of households don't have Sky Sports. Would be great for the Nix and football in general to have that larger potential audience.

more than just the FFA involved here

True, but I would hope that AFC or FIFA wouldn't scuttle us just out of spite (seeing as there's no reason that I can think of for their position now to be different to what it was when the NZ A League license was first granted)
