    Clause 1: APL administrators much resign immediately and relinquish control to somebody more suitable. Ie. literally anybody.

    This is what I don’t get. If the clubs run the apl, how the hell has it gotten this bad?

    It has heavily been invested in a board biased to Sydney and Melbourne. We saw this with the GF controversy with most clubs being blindsided. Basically not all the clubs have much say.

    I was fortunate enough to have an extended conversation with one of the owners of a club outside the loop 18 months ago. He said then it was a dictatorship run by Townsend and that he would stuff it up and do a runner....how true.

    Did you say hello to Sage for us all ?. For all the bashing up on him the bloke had the APL worked out from the very beginning.

    I may be missing the point, but I assume each club has an equal vote, so surely they could’ve gotten enough support to remove Townsend? Even post Townsend, the decision to change the order of tiebreakers from GD to wins didn’t seem communicated?

    Either way, seems like the Middle East is a perfect fit for him.

    Tony is the owner that we all want, said he was happy to keep funding Perth with some assistance but none was forthcoming

    Agree, I got annoyed when i would read Glory fans trashing him the way they did last couple of seasons. Was terrible treatment of the bloke.

    I'll have what he's having - clearly it's good stuff to come up with this brainwave.

    Just what the poms want, Football without the running from clubs they know SFA about. How could it fail, Sure this isn't a Townsend idea ?

    O'Neill confirms in the Herald he's leaving the club for family reasons to go to Perth... the same reason he used to leave Perth and come here 2 years ago.
    His final interview comes across quite insincere about the why he's bailing when the club are possibly going to fold

    He has been a massive let down if I am being completely honest. So I for one, am glad he is going

    This, You could count the number of games on one hand where he has been anywhere near good enough and at any other club with decent competition for starting spots he would have been on the bench more often than not last two seasons.

    GVH is on too much money in China to be tempted back to the Jets.

    Given that door has closed, it's a shame that Zadkovich is now locked in with Roar. I wonder who the new owner will turn to.

    Let's hope that door is also closed to The Hoff.
