JJ thanks

The new media deal with 10/ PA + is said to be between 50 & 70 million per year lets say 50 Million

Add the Commonwealth Bank at 16 Million that's 66 million

FA sponsors are below not counting Com Bank lets say 10 million.

Commonwealth Bank

QANTAS
Nike
Priceline Pharmacy
Patene
Seven Consulting
Lego
Coles
Cupra
Alliance
Cadbury
LCI Education

To this we need to add crowd revenue for senior national games lets say 500K thu the gates @ $50.00 per ticket another 25 million.

Add price money, appearance fees, price money etc.

My guess FA revenue will exceed 150 million, last year it was 123 million which still had part of the old media deal....

Pre JJ FA was at deaths door...

No knocking JJ, but wasn't the A-League the concrete shoes on FA? If you look at the APL finances (which we can't but we can guesstimate), the APL is in the red - no make that the crimson - so if FA were to rescue the APL, then the figures would start like not enough.

FA don’t want to ‘rescue’ the APL, they don’t want or need the A League.
The Championship was established to return football to the right path and I’m sure it will go from strength to strength.
The A League is all but dead.

Heaven's...... You sound like you want the A-L to fail and fall in a heap....

If that where to happen it would set Football back years.

The idea in Australia that we must destroy the competition we don't like goes back to the mid 50's it's never worked and never will.

Change from within and reform is a slow process but IMO a very humble one is it's light years better than the destroy.

A question you I assume followed a former NSL team and you still are upset about how your team has been treated.

Consider those under say 40 or 35 who have followed an A-L team and it's destroyed they will feel unset and the circle will continue.

It's time as it should have happened in 55, to create valid pathways without destroying what's been built.

The recent civil war between The then FFA n A-L clubs did huge damage.

Love your passion for the game but for FA new competition to work it needs a strong A-L.

Unite we win divided we loose.

The post I was answering queried whether FA should rescue the APL ie. bailing them out financially and I believe they should not.
It’s not that I want the A League to fail but surely you would have to admit that it is totally unviable.
The APL have not shown any interest in joining the rest of football in terms of building the pyramid and so FA are doing just that by starting the Championship.
By the way, I have never followed any NSL team but I do want football to be united, however the APL nor FFA before them have wanted to see football united. I have been waiting 20 years for some action on this and I won’t be around if it takes another 20 years.

yeah the fa should only step in if the apl closes down and then just run the comp then

the benefits to aus football getting the two entities to swim independently is huge imo
 
libelous said:
I see no such benefit in continuing to divide football.

since the break up
1) the a league has put more emphasis on developing youth
2) the fa have started funding underage national teams getting more games per year
3) the fa have started the work towards a nst and declared an intention for a full pyramid
4) the fa have started increasing the fraction of their budget that goes to grass roots grants from nothing to almost nothing

far from utopia but this is pretty quick change in a good direction imo. You combine the leagues again then the a league clubs get a financial safety net and spend that on journeymen again, the fa lose money to the a league clubs which takes away from grass roots and development. The fa also have incentives to keep the a league a closed shop too

well said as per many of your logical posts libelous.
Mid and others need to open their eyes more and not deflecting more kaos repeats itself re APL.
The problem is the APL full stop period, it is a small piece of the football puzzle AND it does not want to join being UNITED with the huge layers beneath this is the PROBLEM !
Its like a barnicle that has grown at the bottom of a ships hull, sooner or later it needs to be wiped off so as the ship hull sails smoothly !

Graz I admire your intel and faith BUT seriously ask yourself in the shoes of a ogarlord.
The emphasis on youth by the AL is budget restraints, a forced situation no other option no oh thats great we will do this for aussie football, they are playing youth for they have NO other option.
2/3/4 is where funds have been lacking for 20yrs, catch up/recover bit by bit thank christ and who caused this massive hole int he first place - the AL !
You really think and HOPE they will work with State Feds as they are today, local NPL major Clubs - the FA would have to be utter Gods if they could broker this hope.

I agree its forced, but that is the point right? Can't have the FFA propping them up so they are forced to play youth

If they were back together the a league would no longer be forced by budget realities to play youth
 
yes granted ofcourse but the FA are NOT responsible for the APL, in turn how are you going to broker a deal or break bread to bring APL FA being the Chair and local Clubs in working together for 1 Pro comp and NST.
Pro 1 and 2 whatever would be called.
I just can't see a Franchise group with its tails between its legs ($ loss's) smoke the peace pipe to move forward with a new body and suck it up.
Maybe 1 2 or 3 owners can afford in doing so, maybe some will think you know what, I've absorb alot for many years I'm out tax or marketing write off from their books.
IF they did end up together (some of the franchise's) they have accepted a massive loss, good if so for we/the game have lost more.
Can't believe to this day we still have a semi pro comp beneath the front cover.

yeah they won't smoke the peace pipe, they would only want to connect the pyramid if it is in their interest

The way I could see that happening is if the top clubs in the nst pull bigger crowds than the weakest in the a league

then probably they try and absorb the threat by invitating the biggest nst clubs, but you can only do that a few times. If the league gets to 16-18 and you still have overlap they probably move to some managed p&r

on the other side if the nst does at least well enough to have overlap they would be putting pressure of their own
 
There is certainly more youth in the system but I am not sure that it is all that much. Auckland was pretty old, and MC was likely the youngest but not because of salary constraints but rather injuries to their older cohort meant that they were forced to play youth. BR had a few young players as did PG but in their instances their older players were way past it (Berenguer) or just not that good (PG's visa players). AU were still playing Isaias and Lopez.
The reason the youth players stood out was because they were good. It has been a long time since a cohort of young players emerged simultaneously. What's more some of them were playing in critical positions such as Valadon. Teague at 24 no longer qualifies as youth.

Why would they not be forced to budget? Maybe you are thinking FA will cover any losses.
