Clive Palmer has today launched a rival corporate body called Football Australia, with the slogan, "We Kick Harder". It's aim is to "publish papers, hold conferences, seek opinions, lobby the government, lobby the FFA for a better outcome for Australians and the game in Australia".

According to a press release, its main aim is "to replace Football Federation Australia (FFA), which he (Palmer) said was incompetent at both a domestic and international level."

REALLY??!?! :o

This war between Palmer and Lowy is flowering hilarious. I seriously can't wait to see how it ends.

Hoping Palmer wins in this battle so long as the Glory get automatic inclusion to his rival league

Lowy is so far out of touch with the sport in this country its embarrassing

I'm also on Palmers side. Lowy and the FFA are incompetent, especially when it came to wasting 50mil of taxpayers money on the world cup bid that only won 1 vote.

That's only because Qatar paid $1.05 billion for the other 21 votes.

You can't blame Lowy for that Jukes.

Palmer is just a crazy old man with too much money. FIFA have backed FFA, and that's where it stands.

Lowy himself has a little too much money as well though. :-\

But yeah, FIFA and the AFC have backed the FFA and have also explicitly said that only one governing body is allowed per country....

Lowy puts a lot of his money into the game c4, he's not out to take money away from the game as Palmer suggests...
