Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2157453, member: 1764"] Absolutely right. Soccer in this country prior to the Lowy (is that how you spell it?) report and subsequently establishment of the A-League was an absolute joke. To Australian soccer's credit, they took that report on board and implemented basically everything recommended, and the proof is in the pudding: - strong A-League with solid attendances and Pay TV audiences - qualification for the 2006 World Cup - highly competitive tilt at the Asian Champions League If the sport is in crisis now, then god knows what it was like before all these excellent reforms. Rugby League would do well to watch how soccer basically tore everything up and started from scratch to re-establish itself. Honestly, league will have to do something just about as radical to get rid of the influence of the club CEOs and minor league bodies like CRL, QRL and NSWRL. [/QUOTE]
