You would think that the Bulls would be a success as SW Sydney is a multi ethnic area but for some reason they don't attract much support and their off field wrangles such as the Dwight Yorke fiasco and their forthcoming legal battle with the A-league don't help.

WU though playing some good football also do not have a big fan base and the continual hassle about their promised stadium does not augur well for their longevity.

Imagine SU being admitted to the A-league .The anti football press would have a field day playing up their alleged Ustasha/Nazi links.

wait till the creditors meeting this afternoon ... Anti-football press are gonna have a field day with this next bombshell...

Now we know why Canberra didn't get in yet. Next year could be 12 teams.

... or the "white knight" might by the license for cheap and move the franchise to Canberra?

If ‘start again’ means running the professional level in the same way as the last 20 years then I don’t think it will move forward.

APL can't lose two franchises at once.. it would be devastating.

What a shit comp it's turned into.

Tbh I actually don’t mind western United. There was some potential there but the fuckwits that granted their license should be hung out for not putting proper guardrails in. What a fucking disaster.

Would it? Or would it be a victory for common sense?

TBH an amalgamation of viable AL teams and Championship sides under the FA would make the most sense.
