PFA say current dynamic is not maximising potential of game Union points to ‘mixed’ decision-making in recent years
Professional Footballers Australia, the players’ union, has gone public with concerns about the direction of the A-Leagues and the management of the domestic competitions by operator APL, shattering the private protocols usually obeyed by football’s key stakeholders.
The criticism follows several contentious decisions from headquarters such as the now-reversed sale of the grand final to New South Wales, pushing ahead with a Canberra expansion team despite a short lead-in, the inability to find an owner for the Newcastle Jets and recent layoffs at head office.
