Bali United
With Indonesian football seemingly heading for a unified Super League within a couple of league talks are on going on the island of Bali to pool the resources of some of their local clubs into one super club.
Gianyar, a flop last season, have been in talks with Gianyar County, Badung Town and Denpaser among others about joining forces. It remains to be seen where such a team would play, who would run it and of course how much money they would have to compete with the big boys.
Plus of course any type of negotiation in Indonesia drags on interminably as each party struggles for their own slice of pizza and sod the common good.
The idea is a noble one but then so is the monorail in Jakarta. Will it get off the ground and will it attract the fans?
