    It's simple.

    Pay them out and sign replacements as a marquee or promote from within the squad to marquee. And hope to god some club signs Ma sight unseen.

    This should have been done in the off season. Miller wanted it done and now look where they are. It was obvious the depth in our squad was beyond bad and could cost us like it has.

    I predicted at the start of the year that the club's around us had strengthened where we had not and we would come last. The only thing that has surprised me is what Miller was able to get out of the first XI. Another spoon is a lock.

    You promote your 2 highest paid players to marquee and that free up plenty.

    Or we sign an actual quality for once

    Out of curiosity, who would be our two highest paid players? Pretty sure Boogs is one, the other?

    Anyway the club clearly has to do something in January. It can't just rest on it's hands in delusional hope that once all these players return from injury everything will be fine and we will make a late run for the top six.

    That sounds like a challenge the club may take on.

    Not only that but lets say u got marquee 1 and marquee 2.....you pay both 800K then you recruit another top player put him under the cap for 200K, get marquee A and B to give him 200K each (U can give money to whoever you want, nothing stopping me transferring money to lets say the Member account [Won't happen]) and you end up with 3 players on 600K each.......How do you think city, FC... etc do it.....

    If we can clear a couple of spots, loans for some of the aussies abroad not getting enough gametime might be a good shout. The likes of halloran

    Pretty sure if they're all over third party deals then they will have second party ones well covered. Although at least if we lost all our points doing this we could claim we should have finished higher than last

    Couple of points:
    1- hasnt the boss man said no marquees?
    2- don't marquees need to meet certain FFA criteria? ( none of our current squad would do so)

    Pretty sure the "marquee" criteria is a thing of the past. They're essentially just "players outside the cap" now.

    Tim Cahill Rule signings definitely have to meet criteria.

    Could be and almost certainly am wrong.

    Correct.

    'Tim Cahill Season Guest Marquee' has to meet FFA criteria (Be Tim Cahill), others are just outside the cap.

    It's too late to wait until confidence is shot and everything has gone to sh*t. It should have happened pre-season.
