A-Leagues poised to scrap controversial grand final deal with Destination NSW
The three-year, $12 million agreement to sell the hosting rights for the grand finals to Sydney is being renegotiated.
My A-League and Football Australia boycott might be over.
Watch this space.
So as things stand, it looks like 5 of the 6 original members of the APL board and the dogs who negotiated the Sydney GF deal, have left (or are about to leave) the APL board. 4 of them have of them have also departed the board of their respective A-League clubs.
- Anthony Del Piero (former Victory chairman)
- Danny Townsend (former Sydney FC CEO)
- Scott Barlow (former Sydney FC board chairman)
- Chris Fong (former Brisbane Roar board chairman and CEO)
- Paul Lederer (WSW board chairman - I believe he is staying on at WSW)
The only one left is the biggest cancer out of all of them… Simon Pearce (City board member and Silver Lake Board member).
the NSD is starting next March. They are at the final phase of the application process.

I'm hearing rumours that the APL might be disbanded and Football Australia will returm to running the A-League.
What a farce.
Don’t know if I’d be reading too much into Robbie Slater’s article. Gives a clickbait opinion piece without actually quoting any facts.
My take on the article anyway…
It was more really Adam Peacocks response on Twitter that raised my eyebrows, but I take your point.
I think "rebundling" or reintegrating the AL back into the FA fold would be impossible to do when you factor in the $130m investment from Silver Lake. That money would have to be paid back with interest.

‘A transformative step’: Football Australia reveals eight national second division clubs
Eight semi-professional clubs are one step closer to a place in the A-Leagues after Football Australia announced the make-up of a national second division starting in 2025
Perhaps it may rekindle a long lost interest in local club football....Wait & see....

There is a lot to digest here.
I’ll start with the 8 foundation teams. Some people will roll their eyes as all teams are from VIC and NSW. But at least 2 more will be added by 2025 (possibly 4). Keeping costs down will be a factor in the early years.
There was a rumor a month ago that 10 teams have been told they are in. 8 of the 10 teams rumored back then were the announced 8 foundation teams. The other 2 teams were South Hobart and Sunshine Coast. I am pretty confident they will be named teams 9 and 10 soon.
I would suggest teams 11 and 12 will be Adelaide City and Brisbane United (dependent on Football Queensland coming to the table and stop stuffing everyone around).
Season 1 will start in March/April 2025 and will be a normal home and away format, plus finals.
There is also talk of a possible third tier starting in 2025. If it happens, it will be run under a champions league format (group games and knockout games).

Does this mean back to the good old days where one can't tell what is the more important contest - the one on the pitch, or winning ethnic superiority on the terraces, shaping up against the opposing fans?

If he's sensible he'll pick Aus, guaranteed World Cup finals and better exposure.
Must have been ethnic superiority that made that heroic Melbourne Victory tough guy throw a sand bucket at that ethnic keeper Tom Glover.
Not gonna lie. I do have concerns about Sydney United. I think they should have been banned for the first 1-2 seasons. Not sure if they deserved the privilege of being an inaugural member.
The Sydney GF was cancelled mate. Happy days.
