No wonder SKY TV pays stuff all for them.
Football Federation Australia has failed to entice the three commercial free-to-air television networks into bidding for A-League and Socceroos matches, leaving the ABC in the box seat to gain the rights.

Just brilliantly done, he is so good!
I wanted to see what the general opinions were on whether there should be transfer fees in the A-league? My opinion is that there should be but that is just mine. Let me know what everyone here thinks.
Yep, the big teams pay the small teams. The big teams end up with the players they want usually anyway as a team isn't going to force a player to stay with them if they don't want to.

Surely the semi pro clubs would let a player go pro for the good of their career.

Sydney and Melbourne "semi pro" NPL clubs pay their top players equivalent level to A league squaddie salaries.

So the big gamble "cash in" by the greedy bastards at the FFA hasn't materialized. PMSL
Considering Melbourne City can get around the transfer fee thing anyway, removing the ban would actually level the playing field a bit more
AIS closing. Kids to develop in club environments. Creates bye in NYL, which will probably also fold I suspect as HAL youth teams now playing in state NPL 1 or 2 leagues.

A-League clubs should soon be able to start budgeting for next season, with Football Federation Australia to finally provide annual grants from the broadcast deal.
A high-profile meeting between club owners and FFA will take place at 11am on Tuesday when the governing body is set to provide its biggest indication yet on what the clubs should receive from the new broadcast deal.

It was still one of the better goals. I do like our team goal against Brisbane and Vinnie's is great, one touch to bring it under control and 2nd touch corner of the net - quite of few of those goals listed are not clean, lucky breaks creating the shooting chance.
Give me a well worked team passing move resulting in a goal rather than an audacious hit and hope anytime.

Not entirely unexpected but do FFA even have a strategy to move towards FIFA/AFC requirements, let alone addressing grassroots groundswell?
FFA made their bed and now they have to lie in it, only reason they made that money was selling the A-League product and the clubs are the ones they expect to keep losing money each year. Only fair that they get their fair share too! Hope the clubs take them to task, between this and hopefully FIFA reform we could see a different FFA.
It is funny that average Aussie yob supporters have this idea that the Nix are somehow a cost for Australian football when in fact WelNix are subsidising Australian age group sides and football development programmes.
