I think there are many of us who are wondering exactly where the bottom is for the A League.
Turning around the competition’s slide will be very, very difficult. I dropped into several games this weekend and the football was pretty dire stuff. There’s no hope of turning things around unless the League delivers more entertaining, higher quality football.

I really thought he would be given the season.
The League needs a strong Victory. Let’s hope the Spaniard assistant steps up.
It has to be said that Kurtz, from my pov, has never looked happy at Victory. I wonder what level of support he received from the board?

TBH, not only do I not believe that the stadium will ever be built, but I very much doubt WU will exist in 3 years time.
Would a winter season even work in the A-League?
This is of course what I understand was originally envisaged when the NSL went to summer – that all games would be played under lights.
Once again – surprise, surprise – Fox Sports is the problem.
But I completely agree. If all games were played under lights, at night, then we don’t have a problem. Smoke, yes, but surely this year was exceptional in that regard.
I fully appreciate that this means more than one game would be played at the same time, but all games can be accessible via a remote option.

All the evidence suggest four key points:
– Summers are getting hotter and therefore more problematic for players and spectators
– the standard of football is being adversely affected
– the media clear air argument is no longer valid
– declining attendances and tv view numbers indicate declining interest; it is reasonable to make the assumption that this is linked to points 1 and 2
The only reason, it seems to me, for playing in summer now is ground availability.

Yeboah is 26. He is neither young nor full of promise. He is simply a player who is not good enough for this level. The fact that he and Kamau are starting players is an indictment of Babel’s recruitment.
