Title: A-League to expand to Asia?
Post by: EZA100 on October 08, 2013, 07:39:17 PM
Interesting article here saying that A-League could expand into countries such as Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, which have already shown interest apparently.

That'd be terrible for the players  :P

I agree with Cic though, first let's have all the Aussie clubs stable and cashed up, then expand.

Agree with both of you's, not many people are taking a liking to this idea.

Yeah just stupid mate! If only we could get the blokes like the Swartz and Timmy back early enough, instead of being wasted in stupid decisions where they went, same with the idiots going to the Middle East

Come back to the A league ya bums! Frog me, hoe else does our league improve much? ::)

far too soon to expand. Wouldn't have the same interest IMO! And isn't the Asian Champions League serve that purpose as well?

We're the A-League - A meaning Australia, not Asia

I agree, But let's reserve league stability and support than before. :) :) :)
