What he actually says in the article I have tend to agree with him. He should have been out with this from the get go though and not making it seem as though Northern were just Lowy lackies.Quote:

Also, they are worried the A-League clubs running the A-League will be at the detriment of grassroots football. If only organisations like NNSW etc had enough time and track record in order to keep rego costs down, not have outlandishily expensive rep pathways and work together with other federations and other involved bodies in order to streamline the football family tree.
yep, if only.........
Northern didnt ever make it out that they were Lowys lackiesQuote:

Where Northern failed is being clueless enough to let weeks go by whilst their name was dragged through the mud of public opinion.before opening their gobs to state their point of view on the matter
End of day these small feds were never going to be Lowys lackies but more concerned with their own continued existence and keeping their power in any reform
He actually states that Northern has no issue with the proposed congress make up. And has made no mention of problems against the A league clubs running the league. The problem is that they should have vocalised this weeks ago, it appears that they are in board with the bulk of the proposals but see some finer details that need tweaking, this is perfectly normal in such a big change to an organization, this seems a bit different from the ACT who are just in Lowys pocket. The media keep calling Northern a small and minor player with Tas and ACT but NNSW have more registered players than SA and QLDQuote:

small sample size i know but jeez they have to be about the most complained about organisation around these parts.
prob the perfect thing that could happen to them is having a whole heap of their cash and power taken off them, maybe then they'll concentrate on their core business.
Extorting money from parents who are stupid enough to believe their kids have a chance of playing professionally ?Quote:

Every kid who can kick a ball is now elite because there is a quid to be made from it and a parents ego to stimulate.Quote:

Women didn't want to know about it until they got their league up and running. Before that it was i'm sick of you lazy men watching football again.

No expansion?
No word on it. But, given the new congress will be meeting next month to elect new directors, and there are a number of new standing committees to be formed, I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement (or even the expansion) gets delayed.
Why the heck did we resign Boogs this early? He is one injury away from retirement! Why not wait until mid season and do it then. Its not like he's gonna have offers to play elsewhere. Nobodies loses that way and we mitigate a bit of risk throughout the season.Quote:

Maybe he went "I know I am getting old and there is always the risk that I break down so would you be interested in extending my contract if I agree to pay massive cut?"Quote:

It really is a bizarre move to do it now
Can understand wanting to put Dimi and Stevie U under contract as they be wanted elsewhere
But Boogaard aint gonna be head huntec by anyone to worry about losing him
With Boogs and Toppa here for the next two years we have a stable partnership while the club try and sign replacements or while our young CBs langios etc develop moreQuote:

a-league advertising teaser.
Maybe we resigned him to knock his wage down from the massive figure he was reported on? Bit more wiggle room for new signings.
Knowing us, probably not.
I don't think the issue is that we resigned him. It's the timing.Quote:

We can't change what he is paid this season as he was already contracted for this season on x amount of money. Surely he can't accept a pay cut to his wage this season in order to ensure he got a job next year? And if so, would we be able to use that extra money on other players? That seems dodgy to me and we aren't smart enough for those sorts of things.
if it wasnt the Jets with a flat out gypo in charge id say we've locked him in for one more year then put down on paper a 'post playing career' contract. If the club was smart it would prob save a few bucks on his playing deal by giving him a position for the future hanging out at junior presso's blowing up the Maccas kickabout thingy.Quote:

(i mean, we have McBreen doing it ATM which is obvs his reward for killing the gypos in all those losing GF's hahahahaahahah **** the gypos).
BUT
seeing as though we DO have a gypo in charge i just imagine he blinked at Boogaards agents' suggestion he might leave and he just threw someone elses money at it in the hope it went away.
I got issues on both pointzQuote:

The timing of it considering his age is also bizarre
Not like the bloke is our star player or anything
Close enough. We looked very shaky without him last seasonQuote:
