That's the thing I don't think the entire AFC are cool with it.Speaking of the Nix. I know how a lot of people on 442 feel about New Zealand teams in the A-League. But how do people on here feel about it? Kiwi teams in the A-League yay or nay?They are also financially sound..... a real bonus in the current environment (and a key reason for keeping the 'Nix)For sure. IMO the more I think about it the more it seems like a no brainer. SMFC would boost a key market and wouldn't necessarily 'steal' fans away from the current HAL clubs like a start up franchise probably would.They are in one of those key demographic areas that the FFA want, they'll at least bring more to the table as far as tv money goes, seems like the best candidate for them too.
As long as the AFC is cool with us having them, I'm all for Kiwi teams in the league. Hell bring on Auckland if a bid from there makes sense.
IMO it's one of those things that if enough people in the AFC wanted Australia out this would come back to bite us. IMO I don't think we should be jeopardising our position in Asia to help out NZ football.
I do like having the Nix in HAL but I think a club from somewhere like Singapore would do us far more favours politically.
