Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop has promised to expand the A-League to 12 teams, potentially in as few as two years, with promotion and relegation the long-term goal.But he would not say exactly when - and where - this would occur.Until very recently, growth was off the agenda for the next four years as FFA prioritised stabilising the 10 existing teams.But calls for wholesale change have been gaining traction, with Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou the latest high-profile figure to demand the governing body start catering for the sports massive growth in Australia.Gallop responded at the launch for the 2016-17 season by pledging to introduce two additional teams relatively quickly.Expansion will come sooner rather than later, Gallop said on Tuesday in Sydney.Ten teams is not enough to have in our competition.We want to move to 12 teams relatively quickly.Importantly, people need to know they are on the horizon - theyre not being dismissed.The groundwork being done at the moment will put in a good position to make those things successful when they do happen.Promotion and relegation was the ultimate prize, a move Gallop insisted was not in recognition of external pressure from FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation.That has no discernible time frame and, to do so, FFA would have to re-negotiate the clubs existing licences which run until 2034.Pushing sustainability into the existing 10 clubs, moving to a 12-team competition, investing in the tier below through things like the NPL and the FFA Cup, and then ultimately moving to a situation where promotion and relegation can happen, Gallop said.I would see expansion coming first. It could happen within that period (four years).Lets get some commercial deals in place, have a look at the size of the pie and then assess the suitability of moving quicker to an expanded competition.A road map that puts us in that position could be two, three or four years.Everything hinges on money from a new TV deal.FFA will test the market in coming months after the September expiry of the exclusive negotiating period with incumbent rights holder Fox Sports.Free-to-air networks Seven, Nine and Ten were all said to be interested, while the organisation would welcome the involvement of new English Premier League rights owners Optus and beIn Sports in any bidding war.Gallop stopped short of confirming that FFAs ambitious target of $80 million a year - double that of the current deal - still stood.He said the fact some big Socceroos games, the Asian Cup and the Asian Champions League would no longer be included could impact on the value.Weve got to be confident about our value; were not necessarily putting a figure on it, he said.It is a different package than what we sold last time, but we know the game is growing and its a sport where an investment from our broadcasters will directly lead to more money for clubs, which means better playing rosters and better quality.Cheap Bob Uecker Jersey . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

After effectively securing a third Tour de France title on Saturday, the Kenyan-born British rider has already turned his focus to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Froome, a bronze Olympic medalist in the time trial four years ago in London, will once again be among the favorites in the race against the clock in Brazil.Froome even beat specialist Tom Dumoulin in his favorite discipline in Thursdays second time trial.I think its a course (in Rio) that suits me well, theres almost a thousand meters of climbing and its almost 60 kilometers in length, said Froome, who will also compete in the road race in Rio. Its going to be an extremely tough event. I won a bronze medal in the last Olympics in London and it would be absolutely incredible to win another one this year.The 54.5-kilometer (34-mile) mens time trial in Rio, which features four climbs, is on Aug. 110.dddddddddddd.Froome traveled to Rio during the winter to preview the Olympic circuit and has changed his preparations this year to maintain peak form until the games.Four years ago, Froomes former teammate Bradley Wiggins managed to secure a Tour-Olympics double, triumphing in the London 2012 Games time trial ahead of German Tony Martin and Froome after posting the first British win at the Tour in July.Froomes hopes of victory in Rio have been boosted by Dumoulins injury at the Tour on Friday. The Dutchman pulled out of the Tour after fracturing his wrist and might not recover in time for the Olympics.Froome said he will take some days off to recover before competing in a one-day race in London next weekend.Then its off to Rio.Well be there about a week before the race to start training a bit more again, Froome said.Cheap JerseysChina NFL JerseysCheap NBA JerseysWholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
