After the Tinks I wanna hand back the licence in April and his recent issues with Patinack Mulsane Resources etc it would be a pretty stupid of the FFA if they aren't already well down the track of looking intro a Plan B for the Jets should Tinks fall over.
Maybe the FFA are playing this pretty cool as there is an investor in the wings ready to step in or the FFA have done the sums and can fill the breach WSW style until a new investor can be sourced
Another one bites the dustQuote:
Rado Vidosic moved to technical director role at Brisbane Roar with Mike Mulvey taking over as coach
Rado Vidosic's tenure as coach of Brisbane Roar has come to an abrupt end just 11 games into the A-League season, with former Gold Coast United boss Mike Mulvey taking over in the top job.
Vidosic has been moved into a technical director's role with immediate effect, with Mulvey set to take charge for the Roar's clash with Perth Glory this weekend.
Vidosic was the assistant at the club to two-time premiership coach Ange Postecoglou before taking over as head coach this season, while Mulvey had most recently been coaching Melbourne Victory's W-League side.
Brisbane General Manager Sean Dobson said the club was keen to make better use of Vidosic’s vast technical knowledge of football through his new position.
"Rado’s contribution to the success of Brisbane Roar has been immeasurable," Dobson said.
"His technical analysis and knowledge is second-to-none and we believe with his new role he can be even more effective.

"Rado is a champion of the club and typifies the commitment and dedication we look for in all our staff."
Dobson said Mulvey had been appointed with a close eye on maintaining the club's core values.
"After speaking to Mike it was clear his values and expectations met those of the club," Dobson said.
"We are very proud of the philosophy, culture and style of play which has been fostered over the past few seasons and any coach who took on the Head Coach responsibility would need to embrace those key elements.
"While they would always be given scope to implement their own ideas, the core values of the club must always be maintained and in Mike we believe we have found the happy medium."

wow. didn't see that coming.
love the old "promote them to a position where they can't do any damage" philosophy.
Strange but expected. It's clear that Vidosic has the potential to be a great coach. I think the main problem with his time in charge at Brisbane was that he was too much in Ange's shadow, and he didn't play the style of football that was needed with enough conviction. Still, I think it was one of those cases of only being a goal or two off from the top 4 most of the time.
Will be interested to see how Mulvey goes. Another one of those hyped up assistant coaches, did ok with GCU towards the end but that was a completely different club with different expectations.
there aint no f##king sky. we live in the basement.Quote:

met Mike Mulvey a couple of times when he was with GCU,nice guy..will be interesting to see how he goes at Roar. Hopefully Vidosic is happy with his new role and passes on some of his vast knowledge to Mulvey. Mulvey has actually applied at the Jets before but couldn't get a look in around Deans and co. Fvckn LOL
brisbane players: "mike mulvey was the real brains behind our championship wins"

Offices of Perth Glory owner Tony Sage raided
Updated 1 hour 11 minutes ago
The Australian Federal Police has raided the offices of several companies associated with businessman and Perth Glory owner, Tony Sage.
Officers spent several hours in the building which houses the Perth Glory offices as well as offices for the mining company Cape Lambert Resources.
Mr Sage is the executive chairman of the mining company which was placed in a trading halt earlier this year as it negotiated a multi-million dollar tax debt with the tax office.
It is unclear whether the two matters are related.
An AFP spokesman says a number of search warrants were executed on commercial and residential premises in Perth and Sydney today.
He says it is part of an ongoing investigation in partnership with agencies including the Australian Tax Office and Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
A spokesman for Mr Sage declined to comment.
woo! we'll be off the back pages at least in terms of "owners that we should be worried about"
lol, gypos chasing becks and ADP arent they ment to be broke ?
Would have thought besides the Gypos money issues I would have thought the likes of a ADP or Beckham at the club would be going completely against the close knit group ethos they have had under Arnie and McKinna.Quote:

Copping a bit of a pasting for their ANTI Soccer reporting of the Sydney Derby where there was ample mention of 3 arrests and 2 flares and criminal behaviour etc but no mention of the actual game with the medias usual soccer bashing.
#passionisnotacrime is also trending on Twitter thanks to this
Good that people are starting to unite and stop putting up with this shit from these clueless idiots
Calls yesterday that the FFA should help find Kewell an A-League club.
HK linking up with Heskey again, and Bridges, bringing the best Liverpool and Leeds have to offer.
Only to have GVE put them all on the bench. At least they'll have time to chat.Quote:

Seriously how did Sydney FC find the room under the cap to sign not only Choolina but also Griffo??
It is not like Crooky would have signed ADP and then refused to spend a significant amount of their salary cap by the time Rd 1 Kicked Off?? Bullshit they would have been bursting at the seams salary cap wise when Rd1 kicked off.
All of a sudden they have found loose change down the side of the lounge not once for Choolina but Twice For Lord Griffo??
I am calling BULLSHIT on the matter
Plus apparently made an offer to Jade North. Disgrace!!Quote:

WANTED: Socceroos defender Jade North. Picture: Adam Smith Source: Herald Sun
FRANK Farina is keen to add Socceroos centreback Jade North to Sydney FC's roster as he seeks to bolster the basement club's leaky rearguard that has conceded 25 goals in 11 games.
But with North believed still to be keen on remaining in Japan, where he enjoyed a successful season personally even while his club Consadole Sapporo was relegated, Farina may have to look elsewhere as he seeks urgent reinforcements for a rapid rebuilding project at Sydney.
Having secured Joel Griffiths to spearhead the club's attack in the second half of the season, Farina is understood to be in the market for more defensive options.
However North has been advised by Socceroos coach Holger Osieck that his prospects of playing in the 2014 World Cup will be best served by staying in the J-League, the reason he rejected a similar approach from Melbourne Victory two months ago.
Farina, who gave North his debut in the Socceroos, will be involved in both short-term and long-term player recruitment, club CEO Tony Pignata confirmed to The Daily Telegraph yesterday, with the Sky Blues having 14 players off contract this season.
There is also continued speculation over the future of Alessandro Del Piero, after the club made a statement on Tuesday confirming its wish that he stay for a second year in the A-League.
Captain Terry McFlynn said he was confident Del Piero would remain in Australia next season, and specifically at Sydney despite public interest from the Mariners.
"He's won everything in the game ... every competition he's entered since he was a kid, he's won it," McFlynn said of Del Piero.
"This is no different. He wants to win it and he sees this as something unfinished for him.
"He's a world-class footballer and I think any football club in the world would have him and we're just privileged and honoured to have him here."
McFlynn will return from suspension in Saturday night's clash away to Newcastle.
How ****ing big is this couch???
heard that culina wasn't on big money this year. will be next year when he's proven his fitness
Precisely right, he hadn't played in more than a year and had pretty major surgery so there's no way he'd be on big money this year. The "OMG Sydney are rorting the cap and getting away with it because they're Uncle Frank's favourites" crap makes about as much sense as the "all media is out to get soccer" chips on the shoulder of so many fansQuote:
