What like when the union agreed to a salary cap freeze for a few years in exchange for greater contract security from the FFA after the fury collapse. Go ask the laundry list of players who have been screwed out of wages and super from the FFA's hand picked owners. Where was the FFA making sure that the players got a fair compensation for the theft of their entitlements.

If the FFA isn't responsible for the actions of their owners then why is the PFA expected to be held to a greater standard. If you ask me the owners and FFA have brought a lot of this on themselves with the disregard for how some of the owners have acted.

No argument their FFA are far from clean in this instance also.

Like it or not the yanks have the best system.
Each player is own by the MLS and are leased out to the franchises. The League pays the players wages directly by using the revenue from the broadcasting rights. I'm not sure how the DP positions work exactly, the League still pay their wages but they bill the franchise they lease them to I think.
This is the System the A-League should adopted I think.

Still I think the PFA are asking for to much of the pie, I seen a figure that the PFA are seeking 30% of the FFA overall revenue. My personal opinion is that the PFA should be entitled to 50% of the A-League/Socceroo/Matilda Broadcasting revenue. The PFA asking for 30% of overall revenue is asking for money that doesn't belong to them.

Plague you so have to be self employed. I understand where you are coming from. And also understand other points of view. Having a family business but also employed by an international company I can see both points of view. Hopefully it all balances out in the end and they can sit down and talk like adults. Which never happens..

I don't have a particular point of view.
People just need to understand that the PFA have one job, and are doing it to thier best ability.

Not saying it's right or wrong. But expecting them to care about shit that ain't their job is like expecting the players to mark the lines and pump up the balls.

The FFA need to act fast because without Brisbane we don't have a competition.

I don't understand what the role of the PFA actually is given the dominance of player managers in the bargaining process with clubs.
It's one thing to have assistance in the bargaining process but it's another thing altogether to have both private and collective representation as well.

Even Karl Marx would be shaking his head at the role the PFA has assumed for itself.

The clubs are on a hiding to nothing as well because player claims are based upon the income the governing body makes rather than what the clubs themselves make.

It would be like someone working at a Newcastle computer store basing their wage claims on the profits of Microsoft.

That's Rugby League, isn't it?

We don't have a comp without Western Sydney because, after all, they invented it.

it's no wonde the "derby" has lost its bite considering we play them in 3 friendlies a year.

[q-money]

once again the goons in charge show they have no idea, why bother getting people to buy into the "rivalry" when all they do is dilute it?
