I thought the bottom 4 or 6 A-League teams play against each other, and one side of the draw is rigged so that a non A-League team is guarantee'd a semi final?
They announced the change earlier this week.. All A-league teams went togetherQuote:

Also I find the timing of Mooys departure a rather sad reflection on the Heart.
They could have easily moved Mooy on and brought Timmy in and kept the 2 Marquee situation
Looks to me the politics of tampering with the salary cap were more of a factor than any great desire to bring Timmy home
They upgraded Bruno already and it's been widely reported that they've already signed a 2nd marquee but the announcement wouldn't be until Mooy leftQuote:

If that is true it would set a dangerous precedent - we could offer Messi a squillion and run to FFA saying, you can pay for it, look at the benefits to the A-League.Quote:

Why?Quote:

I think Harry Kewell at MV did ok marketing wise but at City [Heart] not so great. I'd expect Timmy to generate less interest than Kewell but for a much larger chunk of cash.Quote:

I wouldn't be suprised if Mooy comes back to Melb City on some bullshit loan deal to make sure the Timmy experiment works.Quote:

Being Heart are owned by City if the plan is to push his development along then nothing stopping him heading to Manchester and training with City. Being the HAL doesn't start until October he could skip Heart pre season and just train with Man City until then
Why go to the hassle of transfering him to Man City only to loan him back??
Up until a few days ago they had him as a Marquee and could pay him as much as they want and could also bring in the 3rd Marquee due to the rule change
I will offer he has only been moved to Man City with the express intention of having him train at City for a bit before getting loaned out to someone with the intention of getting a Transfer Fee for him
Reality is Aaron Mooy of Man City goes for much more money than Aaron Mooy of Melbourne Heart when a Euro Club offers coin.
This move is just a restructuring of assets for the City Group to maximise profit
The bloke ain't playing EPL under Pep and he ain't coming back to Heart this year.
A year or two proving he can do it in Europe and the City Group get more coin for his transfer
The bloke has just been used as a pawn by City to exploit this 3rd Marquee rule that has come in.
Heart will not be bringing him back. They will bring Timmy In and use him as the Aussie Marquee not as a Guest Player.. The guest player Heart will bring in will be a Foreigner
That way they are getting 2 Foreign Marquee and 1 Aussie Marquee in Timmy
The truth is out there
This was just as an elaborate con job by City
