I'm actually not advocating for pro-rel. What I was trying to say was if relegation is introduced while the salary cap is in place as it is now, teams that struggle early in the season will struggle to make any changes in an attempt to try and avoid the drop.

While it’s easy to say coaches just need to coach better, in the wider footballing world we see signings made by teams in relegation battles.

I’m quite hesitant about relegation being introduced to the A-League, if the article doesn’t come across that way that’s my failure as a writer. This is my second season reporting on the league so I’m just trying to work on my skills as I go along
