A level of sanity not expected from either party.
Just the fact this even became an issue is a clear demonstration the bloke placed in charge by the club owners to run things is the wrong bloke and should walk and never have anything to do with the game or a club again.Quote:

Suit him well. Needs infinite funds to do anything.
Hope this is true - no VAR this season.....

So if that goes ahead, are we out?
The cynic in me thinks we will not have a mens team in the league next season if the club is not sold. Am tipping a W League side will continue into the future as some sort of recognition to football in the region but that is all.Quote:

Makes you wonder. Were Canberra and Wollongong announced as the successful new teams to be added some time ago or were they rumoured?Quote:

Fear mongering. Canberra also lined up but finding it hard to get owner. Perth still cant get bought either.
It's two extra clubs, not replacement clubs.
Question though that has to be asked
If they can find some schmuck to cough up $25 million for a licence for these new sides exactly why the **** can't they find some **** to buy our rabble of shite in 3 ****ing years ??
Something doesn't add up here
Looks like Auckland have a sugar daddy but Canberra are struggling to find the $25 million.
because the preferred bidder has businesses in NZ already. Pretty simple really.Quote:

Townsend gone. Mediocre executive talent also being drafted into the middle east.
I'm going to have a week of mourning
Smurfs have got rid of Corica
Hoping they take Stanton back off us
Was hoping Smurfs would keep Corica. Absolutely clueless, made to look good by individual players and referees
Ufuk Talay giving the Smurfs gig
Not really a surprise
Odd thing is that our coach ain't under any pressure at all despite being winless
After 3 games!? You're kidding :lol:Quote:

What did you expect from a Rookie coach, At a club with little to no funds and local support and one of the worst squads in the league?Quote:

Stanton should get the season if the team is competitive and is competing for a finals spot. The club needs some stability, pretty simple...Quote:

I mean, anyone could see Rado wasn't up to task last season, they obviously gave him pre season to implement ideas but the play didn't improve.Quote:

I don’t so much have a problem with the City and Sydney sackings.
They have been in a successful position almost every year. Their board, fans and sponsors obviously demand more and have been disappointed with what has been offered so far. They didn’t like what they saw, took action so they didn’t write off their entire season. Sydney were disappointing last season, and city choked at the end so a poor start seems like a continuation of their decline.
We are in a very different position.
We can’t afford to be sacking coaches after a few games. The standards and quality of the squad need to be improved and short of signing everyone to 1 year contracts, there’s always an inherited squad excuse.
I’d love for us to be in a position where we can sack a coach after a few losses because that doesn’t fit our club. Reality is, we get 2-3 wins in a row and we will build the coach a statue.
We've had 2-3 wins in a row before?? :gent:Quote:

If we finish with our first ever wooden spoon, he needs to go. If he plays the kids all year, doesn't park the bus and we don't finish last then give him a new deal. If he make Finals, he can take Couscous's permanent parking spot and Dylan will even throw him a pool party.
If he beats the Gypos at each attempt I'll start building his statue immediately.
I was dreaming about the future possibility ��Quote:

The state of the game is at its worst since the A League commenced. I don't think any reasonable person thought the game could be run worse than under FFA with Gallop and Lowie Jnr but the club owners have taken it to a whole new low.
As much as Gallop copped, he at least had experience running arguably Australia’s most successful competition.
Popular opinion that Vlandys is a ****, but you can’t argue he gets shit done. If he ran football, at least we’d know he was doing things for the good of the game.
Bloke single handedly kept NRL operating during COVID despite doctors, political advice both nationally and internationally.
He’s now trying to expand the comp to 20 teams and get the Aus Govt to fund a PNG team to strengthen Australia’s relationship and deter China.
Bloke could sell sand on the beach.
