New A-League boss Greg ORourke says expansion of the competition is inevitable and needs to happen sooner rather than later. Capitals Stanley Cup Jerseys 2018 .Former Football NSW chairman ORourke was unveiled as Damien De Bohuns replacement by Football Federation Australia (FFA) on Thursday.Also a former operations director of PepsiCo Australia and New Zealand, ORourke is tasked with increasing the leagues commercial performance against the backdrop of negotiations for a crucial new broadcast deal.He said the top priority when he starts next month would be improving the financial security of all 10 existing clubs.Then he hopes to make the competition bigger to capture the excitement of fans and give other markets across Australia and New Zealand renewed hope they too can have a club to cheer for.I think an expansion of the number of teams is inevitable, and its exactly the right thing to do, ORourke said.The first step is to actually make sure the 10 teams we currently have are sustainable and can stand on their own feet.Theres no use in bringing new teams into a competition where some existing teams are still shaky.Once achieved ORourke said new clubs should be added sooner rather than later.Im not talking about next season necessarily, but that would be one of the primary things to focus on, he said.Id like to think its going to happen inside my tenure.To lay the foundations, ORourke will set about building relationships with clubs, an aspect somewhat strained during De Bohuns tenure.Part of that will be correcting the number of things wrong with the current approach to converting footballs massive participation numbers into A-League fans.My background is that I build relationships and they work, he said.Theres a lot more similarities between the corporate world and the football world than differences.Most people just want to be heard, most people want to be respected and want you to align to their brand.Theres no use FFA having a strategy thats not aligned with the clubs, and the clubs not being aligned to what the fans want.FFA chief executive David Gallop said ORourke possessed a unique blend of financial and leadership experience and a love of the game, evidenced through previous roles as Football NSW chairman and president of Sutherland Shire Football Association.It was why he got the job ahead of numerous other applicants including experienced overseas administrators running European leagues, marketing and TV executives and senior figures within the AFL and NRL.Its understood Perth chief executive Peter Filopoulos was also in the running.People who had run leagues or are running leagues overseas obviously had an appeal to us as well because of the direct parallel, Gallop said.But understanding the Australian sporting and corporate landscape, and appreciating were in a competitive environment, meant a local candidate came out on top.
