Greg O'Rourke has accepted he faces an uncertain future as the head of the A-League after overseeing the bungled attempt to bring three Victorian clubs to NSW before the closure of the state borders and rejecting a request from one club to relocate last week.
Johnson has purposely tried to distance himself from A-League affairs because of its mooted separation from the federation - with the competition now ostensibly run by a separate business unit within FFA, headed by O'Rourke - but he saw fit to step in once the farcical scenes at the airport emerged. However, O'Rourke's decision not to act until Monday morning has prompted a barrage of criticism directed at FFA, with the players' union slamming the organisation for a "lack of clarity" and "shifting commitments."
"If it means in the end for people to want to lose my role … that’s a possibility that is for others, but until that happens - if that happens - I’m going to be solely focused on getting that exemption, on getting the game back on the pitch, finishing the 27 games and the final series and delivering the A-League."
