Perhaps bigger A League fans than myself could tell me why Adelaide never seem to get or retain the big players? Are we broke or what?

Call it the A League, call it the NSL, call it whatever you want, you can't polish a turd.
Again the competition has fallen foul of the people who "support" it and it will eat itself and fall into another farce of a "football" competition.

A lot of those fees are imposed on the clubs by the FFA or local federations

Not this time, the support is far to big and GROWING for that to happen.
Much like the AFL, the A-League has its core strong 'main stream' following now that like the AFL they literally like and people will come through the doors because of blind loyalty.
Soccer is just booming at the moment.
Here at the Craigmore YMCA we have record numbers in both our junior and soccer competitions with over 110 teams ranging from 6 year olds to 50 year olds. Apparently Brahma Lodge indoor centre is the same as well.
Junior outdoor soccer numbers are increasing by the year, knowing Elizabeth Downs SC and Elizabeth Grove have both experience record numbers in the last 12 months as well.

Time will tell. It's all well and good to keep bleating on about participation rates ( as soccer has been doing for years ) but if the top flight keeps producing it's own bad press then top flight soccer in the country will never prosper.
What is it with soccer, why is it a magnet for **** heads?

Soccer wants to be it's own entity, it wants to grow, well stop worrying about what the other codes are doing and get your own house in order.

You've made a blanket statement that soccer breeds ****heads yet your AFL club has 1000 times the troubles my soccer club has which makes your statement appear a blatant troll or complete ignorance.
1 person in 10 years, how is that breeding dickheads?
You generalising all soccer fans would be like me calling all AFL fans women beaters, complete ignorance.
