The Sydney FC board are the problem. No coach would go near the place until Uncle Frank and friends are long gone.
heh, only just realised/noticed/was informed that neil young has retired from playing & is now perth's gk coach.
he's awfulQuote:

Which is probably a good thing, because if he didnt do anything what was he there for?
I just saw on the Fox Sports page, the B-League segment where this fat moustachioed Adelaide bloke was going off at McBreen, they interviewed him after it.. Check it out.. hahahaQuote:

Good luck to him. thank god he won't be around when we play them next.
According to "Australia Football" on facebook. Channell Nine Perth reported that Billy Mehmet has quit the Glory to move to an asian side but there has been no word from the club.
I have done a search on the Channell Nine site and i can't find a thing on this. Could be bs, who knows. Can't say "Australian Football" would be a reliable source.
EDIT: Ok. They have now posted this comment from Billy Mehmets twitter page apparently.
From Billy Mehmet's twitter account: @billy_mehmet
"Sad to be leaving Perth glory had a great time with the boys and the fans but it had to be done"
From the man himself...

Perth Glory FC @PerthGloryFC
BILLY MEHMET | Perth Glory will release a statement once all details are finalised with all relevant parties.
He has gone to Bangkok Glass FC in the Thai Premier League - currently coached by Phil Stubbins.
If he doesnt make it he'll be shattered...soz i'll show myself outQuote:

wasnt stubbins with "Thailand Police Boys" or something?
everyone can see straight through these jokes, they're payneful
Very transparently run club by all accounts.
Except when they framed the last president for corruption. It was curtains for him.
You could say Mehmets career has been a descent into the maelstrom.
As always, a Philip Glass reference handbrakes another excellent run of awful puns.Quote:

love how easy it is for other teams to punt players to free up squad spots, but we have to be like arsenal and carry our shit-bucket around with us
Rocky Visconte is in talks with WSW. Probably happy to go for free if WSW would pick him up asap.
Yep - never leave unles you have somewhere else to goQuote:

Tom Rogic looks certain to leave A-League for Celtic

Central Coast star Tom Rogic looks certain to join Celtic. Picture: Brett Costello
EXCITING Socceroos midfielder Tom Rogic this morning leaves for Europe having almost certainly played his last game for Central Coast Mariners.
The Gosford-based club appears to be the most affected by the January transfer window with Rogic's move to Scottish league leader Celtic all but sealed, while Matt Ryan could be sold before Saturday's crunch game against Melbourne Victory.
Negotiations continued overnight with the Mariners seeking a higher fee for Ryan than the $100,000 offered by Danish club Randers.
Rogic, who is serving the third of a three-game ban this week, departs Sydney at 10am today to join Celtic at a training camp in Spain with the club merely wanting to see him before paying the Mariners' transfer valuation.
Celtic is confident of obtaining a work permit for the 20-year-old, who last week rejected a transfer to relegation-bound English Premier League club Reading.
Usually a non-event in Australia, the annual transfer window has assumed significance this year with a higher number of players attracting overseas interest than usual and unprecedented movement between A-League clubs.
In other soccer news:
BRISBANE Roar midfielder Eric Paartalu is attracting strong interest from Chinese Super League clubs, less than a year after rejecting a move to Guangzhou R&F FC to remain with Ange Postecoglou;
SYDNEY FC is searching for an Australian defender, with its five visa spots filled;
ROAR has signed Socceroos defender Jade North from Japanese side Consadole Sapporo on a 3 1/2-year deal;
WESTERN Sydney Wanderers have signed left winger Rocky Visconte for the rest of the season after he was released by Brisbane.
Cutting more dead wood down at victory, Ang does love a clean out.Quote:

THE retail industry has the traditional post-Christmas January sales to stimulate demand and keep cash flow going.
The soccer world has the January transfer window, which not only drives business and revenue, but allows some players to achieve their lifetime dreams and forces others to contemplate, if not the end of their career, then how to deal with a major setback.
It not only allows coaches to clear the decks and rebuild their squads for a serious tilt at the title, but gives fans the chance to dream of a better, brighter future thanks to a couple of new signings.
The reverse is also true, of course, as it gives supporters the opportunity to moan and groan about their club's supposed lack of ambition when it lets its best and brightest talents disappear to bigger teams in faraway leagues.

As is often the case, things are not as they may seem.
Wednesday's frenzy of activity in the A-League was reminiscent of the opening day of a Myer or Grace Bros Boxing Day blockbuster sale as players departed, or were dumped, moving to Asia, Europe or interstate.
Earliest to set the hares running was Central Coast Mariners prodigy Tommy Rogic, who, it was announced, would be ''linking'' up with Celtic in Spain, where the Scottish champions are having a mid-season training camp.
Celtic has yet to table a formal bid for the Socceroo midfielder, but will run an eye over Rogic as he takes part in training sessions as well as sports science and fitness testing.
Rogic, who will miss the game against Melbourne Victory at Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Saturday evening because of suspension, is due back in Gosford on January 17, but if Celtic likes what it sees the club is set to table a bid. The 20-year-old would then be off to Scotland, missing the remainder of the A-League season.
One player who will definitely not be around during the domestic campaign is Melbourne Heart right back Michael Marrone. The defender received a round of applause at training from his teammates on Wednesday morning when they were told he would be leaving to move to Chinese side Shanghai Shenxin.
Marrone, now 25, is Heart's record games holder with 70 appearances for the red and whites, a club he joined for the inaugural season from North Queensland Fury. Marrone, who made his Socceroo debut late last year in the East Asian Cup, also played for his home-town team Adelaide United.
It is believed the Heart has received about $300,000 for Marrone, whose new club finished second bottom of the Chinese Super League last season. It is understood the team plans to use him as a defensive midfielder.
There was plenty of action at Melbourne Victory, too, where Ange Postecoglou continues to wield the axe as he shapes the squad to his liking.
To do so he needs to create space in his squad, cut his wages bill and free up some cash for new signings.
So out went two youngsters, Petar Franjic and Julius Davies, although it would be surprising if their wages amounted, even together, to that great a sum.
Franjic has played 31 games for Victory in his two years with the club, including a handful of appearances this season.
But it became clear he was not part of Postecoglou's plans when he was dropped. Even when the coach faced a central defensive crisis he preferred to use the diminutive Leigh Broxham rather than Franjic or Sam Gallagher, who remains on the list.
At least Franjic featured regularly enough.
Davies, who was signed last year, made two appearances at the back end of that campaign under Jim Magilton, but has not been involved at all this year.
The 18-year-old, who once spent time with Bayern Munich, asked for his contract to be terminated so that he could join Brisbane Roar. The Sierra Leone-born teenager has signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal with the Queenslanders, so his immediate future still remains promising.
Brisbane also did some business, shipping out former young Socceroo Rocky Visconte.
The 22-year-old winger has joined A-League new boys Western Sydney Wanderers. He also played for Scottish Premier League side Hearts as a teenager.
