Win win. He either picks them up from the bottom and gets noticed, or they still suck and he quietly slips back into Australia with minimal damage ie ‘Wellington were screwed anyway, he didn’t have a hope’Quote:

FFS Look at Okon
Won **** all and done **** all really as a manager to warrant another gig
But guaranteed the bloke will get another HAL job at some point
Stephan Mauk signed with Roar. Decent recruitment with him and Taggart so far. Certainly shaping up better than their Dad's army squad.
Roar have added 31yo Danish (former) International Tobias Mikkelsen as well.

Besart Berisha has left Victory to link with Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan (Ange's team)
Isn't Bobo on the way out too?
And Adrian might follow him soon...
If we can keep Dimi, it will be an interesting season.
Caveat emptor, Ange. You forgot to check the best-by date.Quote:

So FFA 'missed out' on Torres but now the next washed up hack is rumoured to be heading here.
So after the last month of bleating about our world cup failure the answer now seems to be Peter Crouch and Daniel Arzani.
ok.
At least we can support Japan with some pride in Qatar.
It is a joke reallyQuote:

Matter of fact they dont really offer any short term benefit either really
These clowns need to actually be gone
They are now ****ing the game with their lack of vision
They have 3 million to invest??
That a lot of money that could be put into free coaching courses across this land which will have some benefit
Peter Crouch?? FFS
Be better off putting it all on a 25-1 at Dapto dogs
How is this for a laugh
Perth Glory have signed Fabio Ferriera
Recycled trash
Adelaide>>Gypos>>BlueAids>>Perth
Even failed a trial at the Jets when we were shit
What is worse is the bloke fits into the category of "Foreigner"
What the **** is wrong ??
Give yoof a go and stop signing failures FFS
Some **** needs to step in and sort this shit out
It is a joke how clubs are getting away with such shirt sighted and stupid decision making

Yorke won the GF year 1 yeah? Maybe Ono got a Premiers plate or 2?
thats a piss poor return if they were all signed to build the league.
Tim.scored the winner in the Jets cant Win A Game CupQuote:

How about they focus on what they should be doing and leave the player signings to the ****ing clubs??
But you just complained that someone needs to step in and stop clubs from signing players like Fabio Ferreira?Quote:

Yet here we go again with shite like Crouch.
The league deserves to fail.
That's not going to happen in a salary capped league. The merry go round won't ever change in the current set up.Quote:

A leak indicating we have a home blockbuster reward first up....v Wello.
Melbourne Derby in Saturday night....no GF replay.
Lets see how accurate it is.
I thought Jets v Victory 1st up was nailed on. I’m generally not a fan of scheduling derbies for the first round. Let the players & fans warm up to it for a few weeks.Quote:

But the key point is, he was part of a solid team, as opposed to ADP or Heskey who ended up in embarrassing teams.
I agree it doesn't make much sense from a "league" point of view to chase players like Torres (or Crouch, I thought he was retired...) when they are unable to retain players like Adrian, who added a lot of quality to the league last season. Why didn't they invest part of the $4m "marquee fund" on Adrian?
Apparently the draw is released today.
Rumours I've seen have us v Wellington at home Round 1
i've seen stuff that says release is sometime between today and next wednesday.Quote:

Great fanfare that.
Draw release it is... https://www.a-league.com.au/sites/al...2012072018.pdfQuote:

Perth games away are all reasonable times for travel
We don't leave the state in February.
Why is round 11 played after round 12? Is that a typo?
Leroy George leaving victory... and providing an interesting insight on life in the a-league in this interview. Something to think about when it comes to sport culture
https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/lero...arre-interview
He's still trash, of course...
round 15 starts before round 14 too. they're basically split midweek rounds (with another round in the middle of the split round).Quote:
