All quotes here from the Socceroos press conference. I am fudgeen angry now!!
http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/socceroos/soc...
Gallop: I think the ball is in (Phoenix's) court. We're ambitious for the growth of the A-League. You can't expect to squat on a license.
Gallop on Phoenix: If you want longevity in the competition you need to produce results.
Gallop on Nix: On any metric they're not performing at a level we like for the growth of the competition
Gallop: No one is suggesting on field performance is poor, it's off the field where it is poor.
Gallop: We're ambitious for the growth of the league, at the moment their metrics doesn't support claim for 10 year license
Gallop: (Metrics are) Crouds, television ratings, membership - those are the ones that are going to make us sit up and take notice
Gallop: I'm on the record that growth in big metropolitan areas is the right move for us in terms of building metrics around the game
Gallop on expansion: We're not considering anything that would damage our other clubs
I feel like it wouldn't matter if we got 20k crouds constantly - the FFA board will still want us out. All of this metrics bullshark is just a smokescreen.
Where are the fudgeing metrics he's talking about? Why not make that transperant? Do CCM hit those metrics? Does anyone except MV? Fudge me. So angry.
