A-League boss Stephen Conroy says the competition has yet to receive a formal takeover bid for crisis-stricken Western United, who are facing fresh breach notices from players for unpaid wages.

With the men's and women's A-League seasons completed, once again questions are being raised about the future of football in Australia.

Interim Matildas boss Tom Sermanni was scathing in his criticism of the A-League Women on Thursday, saying the state of the competition was "just not good enough."

Nicolas Milanovic has signed off from his time in A-League Men in style, the Western Sydney playmaker being crowned the Johnny Warren Medal winner.
