Promotion and Relegation.
It’s a topic that ignites massive debate, both unifying and dividing opinion among passionate A-League fans.
To help sort out the nuts and bolts the Daily Football Show speaks to Shaun Mooney of the Leopold Method, and author of A-League: The Inside Story of the Tumultuous First Decade.
Shaun penned a brilliant yarn on the Leopold Method website this week titled The restlessness of the aspirationals, his take on where we stand with promotion and relegation, the commercial aspect, impetus of NPL clubs and more.
Here is an excerpt:
What the aspirational clubs lack is a united front, with a respected leader within football who talks the same language as FFA’s suits and a business model for a national second division competition. All that has been presented at this stage is single shot messages from a handful of clubs, supported by words written by small group of football journalists and bloggers, and a couple of television debates. If aspirational clubs want to convince FFA to look at an alternative model, one that replicates the rest of the football world, it needs to present a better sales pitch.
