David Gallop has warned the A-League is far from ready to become independent from Football Federation Australia despite calls from clubs for a self-governed national competition.
The FFA's ongoing running of the A-League contributed to Australian representation being reduced in next year's AFC Champions League.
Concerned club owners will meet on Thursday, with reportedly the first item on the agenda being A-League independence, a long-standing AFC requirement that FFA is yet to meet.
But FFA chief executive Gallop yesterday said it was not financially viable for the A-League to be a separate entity from the sport's national governing body.
"It's sustainable for (Australian) football to be able to share some costs between the various pieces of the games - the national teams, the A-League and the grassroots," Gallop said at yesterday's FFA Hall of Fame lunch in Brisbane.
Is the FFA being influenced by the AFC? See what Postecoglou had to say.
"To completely create new organisations around those three pillars of the business would be expensive and not easily achievable with the game's current financial picture."
Gallop honoured Hall of Fame inductees Scott Chipperfield, Alison Forman and Alan Vessey.
"Their stories are part of the game's rich history in Australia," the former National Rugby League CEO said in his address to the audience at Gambaro Restaurant.
"In my role in rugby league, we used to say those who drink now must remember who dug the well.
"We need to share the history of Australian football. I am on a crash course on that myself."

Wollongong product Chipperfield made 68 appearances for the Socceroos, played in two World Cup finals tournaments and won seven Swiss first division titles and six Swiss Cups with FC Basel.
"I set out to play football because I enjoyed it, not to get accolades but to be recognised for this, and to see the names on the list, I feel really proud," said Chipperfield, who was presented with his medal by former Socceroos teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Craig Moore.
Forman - who was unable to be at yesterday's presentation - is a former Matildas star who represented Australia 95 times in a stellar career that included a club stint in Denmark.
Vessey enjoyed a decorated 34-year stint in football administration.
Vessey's roles have included Soccer Australia chief executive, Brisbane Strikers general manager and chairman of the Brisbane segment of the 2000 Olympic Games football tournament.
