Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have no idea how the Wellington supporters feel, but i wouldn't be the least bit upset if this happened to the Canadian clubs playing in American leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If you follow the links, they have been offered a four year license renewal rather than a ten year one. Not sure that fits the spin that is being placed on this in the thread so far given either way the Asia, Oceania conferderations and FIFA still have to sign off on it. It seems to be related more to the franchise underperforming in terms of what it brings to the league than the two country angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Asian federation is really pushing Australia on this for whatever reason. Perhaps because it is not simply two-country but also two-confederation and Asia wants nothing to do with Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 They're being heavily subsidized by the AFA I think. If the USSF was paying for our teams it might be a relevant issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
