PENRITH Nepean chairman Joe Meissner is considering a legal challenge after the club's exclusion from Football NSW competitions.
Football NSW is still making no public comment about its reasons, a week after the exclusion decision.
``I'm certainly considering a legal challenge,'' Mr Meissner said.
``No reasons have been given for declining the application.''
Mr Meissner addressed a meeting of parents and supporters last Saturday and brought documentation with him.
``The applications were put in and I signed thempersonally,'' he said of one rumour that no application was made.
Mr Meissner said he had spent $250,000 on Penrith Nepean United.
Football NSW's decision means the exclusion of men's and women's teams from senior competitions and the end of the youth league.
``Representative football in Penrith is finished,'' he said.
Penrith Nepean United vice-president Eric Shields said he understood PNU had been excluded because it had applied under a change status, as a proprietary company trading as Penrith Nepean United.
Mr Meissner said he had been let down by the Penrith football association.
``It promised $40,000 sponsorship and infrastructure support that was not forthcoming,'' he said.
The association's operations manager Linda Cerone rejected this.
She said although the association had promised ongoing support, no proposal from PNU had been received this year.
Ms Cerone said Mr Meissner had contacted her a few days before Football NSW's decision.
She said he had asked for $40,000, but the association's budget for 2010 had been finalised at the end of September and the request had not been accompanied by a written proposal, which would have had to go before members for approval.
She said a Football NSW email had been sent to the female players, saying no application had been received on their behalf.
Mr Meissner was adamant he had signed an application on behalf of the men and women.
Both the club and Mr Meissner have had a tumultuous two seasons.
PNU had been excluded from the 2009 competition but was reinstated when Mr Meissner stepped in and promised to meet its debts.
He paid a deposit on Gabbie Stadium in January of this year and wanted to use it as a training base if his bid for a Western Sydney A League team was successful.
Mr Meissner withdrew his bid ``for personal reasons'' and reached a financial agreement with Premier League club the Blacktown City Demons over Gabbie Stadium.
It will now be known as Lilypond Homes Stadium, after the company run by new Demons backer Vince Camera.
``They wanted me to play matches at Parramatta Stadium,'' Mr Meissner said of the reason for withdrawing his A-League bid.
Mr Meissner said the attendance at a pre-season friendly between Sydney FC and PNU had shown the support for soccer in the west.
