FFA are set for a financial windfall if they accept a proposal for the Socceroos to play China in a three-match Test series. After being snubbed by Chile, Football Federation Australia are investigating all options for international friendly matches later this year. CASH-STRAPPED Football Federation Australia yesterday retrenched nine staff members, after three other managers left voluntarily as chief executive Ben Buckley implements a restructure he maintains will ''set us up for the next four years''. FFA chief executive Ben Buckley says a major restructuring of the organisation is designed to help the code better engage with stakeholders. FOOTBALL Federation Australia's caution in considering two potential bids for A-League clubs from wealthy foreign owners is symptomatic of its inability to engage with the Asian region, says the man who found the investors. TWO Asian billionaires are keen to invest in the A-League but Football Federation Australia's reluctance to deal with a local middleman is threatening to jeopardise what may be life-saving deals for at least two local clubs. FOOTBALL FEDERATION Australia insists it is not panicking about Wellington Phoenix owner Terry Serepisos desperately trying to avoid having five of his companies wound up, including the one that owns the financially stricken club. NORTH QUEENSLAND chief executive Rabieh Krayem says Football Federation Australia has made a huge mistake after the governing body yesterday kicked the Fury out of the A-League. H&R Block announced its first interim tax season results and also provided revenue and earnings outlook for its fiscal third quarter 2011. Melbourne Victory officials in talks with representatives of key supporter groups as anger boils over at what fans call ''heavy-handed'' police and security actions. Football Federation Australia playing down revelations they have been hit with a loss of $5.8 million for the 2009-2010 financial year. FOOTBALL Federation Australia says the A-League will not be affected and despite revelations it recorded a loss of $5.8 million for 2009-2010. KEVIN MUSCAT'S A-League career is almost certainly over after the FFA last night imposed an eight-match ban for his two-footed tackle on Adrian Zahra in last week's derby against the Heart. With three matches of the regular season left to play, the ban ensures the 37-year-old will take no further part in the competition even if Melbourne make it all the way to the grand final. Should they not, and Muscat decides to play on, he will have to serve the remainder of the weeks next season. THE Victory enforcer has been ordered to Sydney to hear his fate. FFA chief executive Ben Buckley says Australian football will benefit greatly from hosting the 2015 Asian Cup. HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania FFA chapters will showcase advances in the state's food processing industry through life-size exhibits and demonstrations during the 2011 Pennsylvania Farm Show Agricultural Technology Display competition, Agriculture Secretary Ru The 2022 FIFA World Cup bid wounds are still raw but the FFA is set to ease the pain slightly by securing the 2015 Asian Cup next week.
