Groundhog Day at FFA as Australian football stagnates

Football Federation Australia is dithering again by switching its focus from A-League expansion to ownership and operating reform

FFA announced on Tuesday that expansion of the A-League will not occur until the 2018-19 season at the earliest as the governing body begins a consultation process this week with clubs and a corporate advisory firm to determine "a new ownership and operating model" for the A-League and the W-League.
