Absolutely the state feds need to be stripped of their power. On a side note but related to the issue, how much govt funding has been lost because of the fractured nature of football governance in Australia.
Will East Coast-based National Second Tier sink or swim?
I think it’s intentional, they want the extra engagement that Syd Utd (and their fans) bring

I’m holding out hope that the next 4 clubs to join for the initial 12 team league will all come from outside NSW & Vic.
Two from South East Qld, One from Adelaide and the other maybe Tasmania

I think that’s the long-term play to get the FA and APL to agree on the process if pro/rel gets up and running.
If you look at England the EPL is run by the clubs, whereas the FA run the Championship, so shouldn’t be too hard, they just have to agree,

Good thing is that Johnson has said the coverage will focus on exposure rather than profits, so will use the likely big money offered for Matildas and Socceroos to subsidise the N2D TV coverage to get onto a FTA channel rather then hidden away on P+

I’m always a bummed when one of the more talented Aussie A League players head overseas because it means we’re losing quality from the league and somebody the fans can get excited about watching regularly.
Although the recent trend of our players attracting decent transfer fees is great to see, especially for our clubs who are not exactly flush with cash.
This lets them invest more into football and ideally gets them promoting more youth, rather then recycling older players.
Achtung, baby! Adelaide kid off to Germany in Australia's most expensive football transfer
I guess he was always destined to get paid well, but this is really about Adelaide’s big pay day IMO.
I believe they run their club well financially, so I wonder how they’ll use these funds to further their football department / player stocks. Hopefully they don’t try and blow it on a few overpriced marquees.

“the 17-year-old is the most prolific goal scorer under the age of 20 in A-League history, having registered nine goals in 38 games – with most of his minutes coming from the bench.”
Does anyone know his per 90 minutes goal scoring rate? I imagine it’d be pretty good

I think for most it is quite infuriating (& hilarious) that the NRL outright refuses to entertain expansions further west of Melbourne.
Altruistic but not all-embracing: Australia's National Second Division will be nothing more than a South-East Coast League
That will likely be the unfortunate outcome if it is sold alongside the national team games, although these days with digital only channels the FTA broadcasters can show games pretty easily. Although let’s all be honest, I think we all believe SBS would be the best partner for it…

Whatever method the choose will always end up unfavourable in some way to some teams, unless it’s a clean straight up and straight down. I don’t envy the decision makers when it comes time to link the leagues
I don’t think the Perth representation will be as much a problem, as any relegated team would slot into the Australian N2D, whereas Wellington or Auckland, where would they go if they came last. Can’t see them slotting into an Aus N2D as it would blow out costs for that league. So they’d have to drop into whatever next highest level in NZ is, and then if they’re there, would they then playoff against the Aus N2D winner to get back up the season after?? So many questions and outcomes.

Agree any future pro/rel needs some massive consideration as it’s very murky how that could work, but that’s in all likelihood a problem to be solved in 5-10 yrs

I think the costs of travel would need to be shared equally by all clubs for fairness, which could possibly come out of an annual payment from each club or preferably through a tiered payment system from the FA to each club based on TV and other league revenue (hoping this could be achieved).
Altruistic but not all-embracing: Australia's National Second Division will be nothing more than a South-East Coast League
Well luckily for the FA, since the APL split they have become much more financially well off.
The prizemoney from the recent mens WC and to a lesser extent women’s WC, sponsorships, big domestic crowds to watch both national teams has made them financially comfortable. Add to that they will be selling the TV rights to these assets next year (I believe) and would imagine it would be an increase due to the Matilda’s effect and which now the N2D will form part of.
I think the money is there to at least prop up the 2nd division a little, not pay for it but support it. Plus being a predominantly east coast comp will save a huge amount on travel costs.

There’s nothing panicked about this decision, if anything it has been made way too late. They never should have extended his contract at the start of last year, what a farce, the board should be embarrassed for now having to pay out Corica his contract and paying for a new coach.

TBH those two factors are probably the only reason we might jag a win this weekend, or maybe just score a goal

What’s that even mean, it’s not like he was doing it for charity, he never would have returned to the A League if he wasn’t offered a contract, and he definitely wouldn’t have coached the senior men’s team if the money wasn’t right for him.
But maybe I get your point that such a long serving person A League player/coach should be celebrated?

In the members email it said the board had decided to go a different direction, so it certain;y wasn’t Steve’s decision.

Maybe once we finally sack him Corica will head home and get a coaching gig with the Roar 😛
Irankunda sent off as Original Rivalry kicks off big time with two reds, two goals and a heap of controversy
I think if you poll Sydney fans you’d be surprised at how many rate the rivalry with MV over WSW.
I get more satisfaction from a win over MV than I do WSW, probably because I consider us the two biggest clubs in the league.

It’s not just Sydney’s worst ever start to a season, it’s the worst start for any team in the history of the A League.
There’s been other teams start with 0 wins, but they had a better GD, or where equal they had at least scored a couple of goals (think this may have been Auckland Kingz)
No shots fired: Corica stares down sack after another disaster as Sydney FC hand Vidmar dream start
His entire reign, even the trophy years were very dull football. I cannot fathom how he’s been charge for this long, other than the board looking save money and have stability in the football department even when it’s not warranted.

The ball out reminded me of the A League Robbie Slater demonstration where depending on the angle of the camera it may look out, but some of the ball is in fact still in.
I can understand VAR not overturning the ball out call, but I definitely thought it was a push in the back on the goal line and should have been called a foul.

That’s some slump! Ironically the big bump in the lull was the demo of Parra stadium which was necessitated by the success of WSW and building the new stadium. Playing in a big Oval in Homebush along with less than desirable results really killed off a lot of support.
Fair to say, even from a SydFC fan, is that everyone wants the Wanderers off field (not on field 😛 ) to get back to its peak and beyond.
A-League Round 3 talking points: City's ruthless call, Victory reborn, King gets it wrong
I would’ve liked to include a Perth team, but I just see their inclusion as a funding drag on the league in terms of travel costs, as sad as that is. Even Tassie adds a lot of costing pressure
