Horrible news for aus football if clubs start going under (except for mariners sorry).
We need a pro league in this country and there's appetite for it.
There will be a pro league, How it looks remains to be seen.

I must say that this is only the thought someone with no specific knowledge of the situation. There is no knowledge of what is actually going to happen, even likely from fox. There is a thought among a lot of people in and out of the sport that the partnership with fox is going to end, but, whether it is to end at the end of this season or when the contract is set to end, it probably won't be a bad thing or the end of teams and/or the league. The Nbl and stand alone vfl club's are a great example of living within its means.Fox Sports primed to pull pin on A-League, claims broadcast rights guru
Financially-smashed A-League clubs can expect another huge hit in April, with a TV broadcast rights expert predicting Fox Sports will cancel future payments while the competition is shuttered - and possibly walk away altogether.theworldgame.sbs.com.au
Ugh. This could very well spell the end of the A League (or at least see half the teams go under)
Did anyone else honestly expect a company owned by Emperor Palpatine aka RuTwat Murdork to pony up for unaired content ?. Feel gutted for fans of Welly, CCM,Newcastle etc
The only teams who are guaranteed to survive this are Sydney FC, Melbourne City, Melbourne Victory, and probably Adelaide United and Perth Glory.
Could be dark days ahead friends

Honestly they should remove the salary floor to preserve some of the smaller clubs.
If the Mariners can only survive by having a squad of 18-23 years old it may end up being beneficial for the game long term with potential Socceroos being given the opportunity.

From a post on reddit.
Maybe do the same but for Optus?

yeah would be the logical argument but again what would Optus want to pay for it in the first place?
Probably more than Fox the way things are going.
We need to workout how to make money from other streaming services to broadcast. FTA tv and fox can’t be the be all and end all.

The NBL have the right idea they have their own digital media broadcast arm yeah? Not sure how that works if anyone would care to share.. Maybe that is they way to go, sure the League would have to stripe it back probably to the bare bones but in the long run it will pay itself off!
They started that this year, with the new ESPN tie up. The nbl pays for the production of the game (including the commentators I think), and there is some kind of revenue sharing arrangement from the advert (all the ads seem to be for the NBL or a related product). They also likely get some money from Facebook and twitch for the international games that they play. So probably not a lot of money is being made overall from the broadcast.All their people are at the office in Melbourne and broadcast from there.
Only a local reporter for sideline and the cameramen are at the game so saves on airfares etc

Wrong. Such clauses, dealing with risk and performance, would be very relevant.Any such clauses would be void in the current climate.
