Great to hear your insight boys. I really hope the NST is successful as this will eventually benefit football in this country.

To be successful, there are a few models Football Australia should look at, 1) they did the right thing and cap teams between Melbourne & Sydney. This will generate interest, when people go to the office on Monday they can talk about how their team Sydney North East (insert exciting name here), beat your team (Sydney North), it's not as exciting talking about Sydney beating Townsville (which was the Rugby model we followed when we made A-League). Football teams have history & culture which generate passion not licences and brands. 2) We have to be a development league, there is no doubt about it, the Australian professional sport market is over saturated. Football should be higher but other codes identified that and saw a rise of their sport meant a demise of Association Football. We are in a unique position in compared to any other code in Australia and that is our ability to consistently generate revenue from player sales. Right now it might only be the odd $500-$600k (maybe 3-5 times a year) however, by embracing youth development and demonstrating quality of Australian youth products, we can see football succeed. My dream is to be a production factory like England, which through the City Group, but previously was Chelsea, they produce a conga line of players. Also this means the FA have to lobby for easy pathways into the English the EU football system.

The part of it I can’t begin to fathom is that football stopped being a sport a few decades ago and became a business and in some parts of the world very big business. A second division with all the associated costs will surely just be cost, and more cost; have club owners really got such deep pockets and can afford and want to keep dipping into them? It seems unlikely that it will be a national second division and when you have a top tier that is basically franchised out and is a closed shop, how can this 3D jigsaw piece together?

Yeah running a football club is mostly losing money. But there's passion too
