To be honest, this is the least of my concerns.

Pressing issues for the FFA are:

Viable ownership for the teams that are falling apart. As much as 4 of them. If they go, then the league is basically poked that a licence extension makes no difference.

Getting the PFA corralled and in line. Getting a collective bargaining agreement sorted and a transparent salary cap is pressing in light of 'financial mismanagement' claims leveled at the Roar.

The Phoenix will be left to operate in perpetuity while the above are more pressing issues. As others have said, we have been offered 5 and we want 10. The reality is, our participation in the league is guaranteed for at least 5 years so I don't get all the angst over this. Welnix are keen to continue and the FFA are keen for us to continue. Cool your jets.

Yes, but I don't think that the Welnix are keen to continue with only a five year license Jeffrey. 

I don't know enough about the rest of the owners and can only really judge Gareth. 

In my opinion putting aside all the bluster he actually strikes me as the sort of guy who will walk away from something if he isn't getting what he wants.

I can only really judge Henry Tait and he's the exact opposite of the sort of guy who will walk away from something if he isn't getting what he wants.

I've met Lib Petagna a couple of times in a professional context and can say that he also seems to be someone that sticks to it and a good guy as well. People don't get into the position that they are in by throwing away their toys and storming off, they are persistant and driven. In this forum we also seem to forget that there is more to Welnix than Rob and Gareth, in fact Gareth seems to have lost his passion for the Phoenix a couple of seasons ago, yet he's still involved AFAIK.

I've met Lib Petanga a couple of times in a professional context and can say that he also seems to be someone that sticks to it and a good buy as well. People don't get into the position that they are in by throwing away their toys and storming off, they are persistant and driven.
