I know you can read stuff online retrospectively but history isn't able to be revised that easily. Victory didn't have the money for their A league license either and were propped up by the FA.
The historical record is only as good as the sources. To be 100% sure, you’d have to look into the club’s papers from the time.
With that qualification, the recorded history is that SMFC got into financial difficulties, lost a lot of its players, went into voluntary administration and decided not to apply for an A-League licence; a responsible decision at the time.
Who knows what would have happened if they had applied? Presumably the decision was made by the administrators and they probably had no choice.
I noticed that the latest rebuff included a statement from FA that there will be a place for SMFC in the future ?
