Melbourne Victory has raised the possibility of legal action against Maribyrnong Council after the A-League club's proposal to build a women's and youth soccer facility at Footscray Park was officially rejected on Tuesday evening.

As the fallout from the inner west's most divisive issue in years continues, the two parties disagree over whether the council was contractually bound to allow the $18 million facility at the agreed location of Footscray Park.

While Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter insists $10 million of state government funding will remain available to Victory at an alternative site – which Sport Minister Martin Pakula confirmed on Wednesday – Victory chief executive Trent Jacobs described the council's consultation process as "inept".

"It's fair to say we're very, very disappointed with the outcome," he told The Age.
