PAGE 32 The Task Force believes that the issues of promotion, relegation and a second tier competition can be periodically reviewed by the Board of the League, but not before the fifth year, to determine whether their implementation is appropriate. FOR CONSIDERATION That the issues of promotion, relegation and a second tier competition be a matter for future Boards of the League but if deemed appropriate not be implemented before the fifth season of the competition. Equalisation strategies The Task Force in dealing with the funding required by a club has not dealt with the principles of ensuring competitive balance between clubs. This is an important area, recognised in a number of submissions. Equalisation strategies that are used successfully in other football codes, such as salary caps and floors, revenue sharing and so on must be investigated for the benefit of the League. FOR CONSIDERATION That the Board of the League immediately investigate and implement appropriate equalisation strategies to ensure competitive balance within the competition. Football not Soccer A number of submissions suggested that the word “football” rather than “soccer” should be used to identify the sport. The Task Force is of the view that this is not a League issue but a matter for ASA to address. FOR CONSIDERATION That ASA undertake research to determine whether the sport should be identified as “football” instead of “soccer”. Other Matters Other matters raised by Task Force members during the process included important topics such as: (a) Foreign investment in clubs and the need for an appropriate policy; (b) The method of employment of referees; and (c) The licensing of clubs’ youth academies. The Terms of Reference did not require the Task Force to address these issues. However, it is important that these, and other relevant issues relating to the League, are addressed at the earliest opportunity to ensure that all appropriate policies are put in place to enable the Expressions of Interest documentation to be finalised.
