Sorry but a couple of thousand phoenix fans signing up to light box won't make much difference. As I said to little to late where were all these people when we and Welnix needed them
Sorry but I doubt Welnix's pulls out at the end of this year, And they have a chance to correct whatever it was that the FFA didn't like that being mainly TV money from SKY. The New TV deal come into play in 2017/18 well within the Nix's licence (four year). Lightbox CEO hinted at getting the A-League rights way before this shark happened.
SKY has the rights up till 2017 - Get behind Lightbox sports they have the EPL and are adding more sports to the channels and more imported they WANT the A-League IF FANS ASK FOR IT.
The FFA have not said that the 4 year agreement is going to be accepted just that we have the right to request a 4 year deal under our contract. Even if WelNix applies there is no guaranty that 4 years will be accepted.
There is talk that the next TV deal will be lower than the current one.
The A-League and the FFA aren't in good shape ATM, hence rash and drastic action.
That's just LOL, Welnix new all along about the 4 year deal but wanted 10. Nowhere have I read the FFA wont allow the Nixs to forefeel there current licence extension.
The rumour was that a five year deal was on the table. Now they are saying that the Phoenix have the right to apply for a four year deal. Not that a four year deal is on offer.
