A-League club bosses are set for a no-holds barred meeting in Melbourne on Thursday as they seek peace over the move to sell the grand finals to Sydney.
Melbourne Victory chair Anthony Di Pietro has stepped down from the APL board, urging its directors to reverse their decision to sell the A-League grand final.
Western United defender Leo Lacroix has received a two-match suspension after catching Perth Glory's Matt Hatch with a high arm in a 2-1 loss to the West Australian side in Round 7.
The A-Leagues claim there will be financial assistance for fans travelling interstate to the grand final after announcing Sydney would host it through 2025.
Each of the next three ALM and ALW grand finals will be played in Sydney as part of a deal with the NSW government, but the move has been met with criticism.
