Victory CEO flags concern about third Melbourne club

2018-11-14T15:47+11:00

Melbourne Victory CEO Trent Jacobs supports the introduction of a third Melbourne-based A-League club – as long the appropriate infrastructure is in place.

South Melbourne, Team 11 and Western Melbourne are three of the six remaining bids vying for two A-League licences that are set to be introduced for the 2019/2020 season.

"We’ve been of the view that we would welcome expansion as a club. We take the view that a competitive environment is a good one," Jacobs told SEN's Whateley.

"As long as they come in with a really good solid strategic plan for how they can geographically manage a viable and long-term sustainable club then it would be good for the competition.

"Our only view has been that we would like it to encompass a clear geographic area and certainly ideally a stadia to support it, because I think three teams operating out of AAMI Park could potentially be counter-intuitive."
