    I agree with all the Member says but what I'm trying to say is I don't think it will work in Oz like it does around the world - we are still small fry here and I doubt there will be massive investment outside Sydney and Melbourne. And I do believe the sporting public here will give up if they are outside those cities who will have nobody to play.

    It may work everywhere but It won't work down under IMO. As for your barb. Keep living in the past while we keep making history

    I can see your point 100%. But I think since we are already circling the drain we may as well take the training wheels off and see how it fairs with real competition. Sydney aren't going to spend stupid straight away considering how easy the comp already is, so I can't see it being an instant explosion.

    Fishing would be saying Arsenal never had an undefeated season. Which would be true as you were knocked out of all cup comps.

    Removing the salary cap and restrictions on foreign players is unlikely to see an explosion in wages like some here are assuming . The only way wages will increase in aggregate is if new money is brought in to accommodate it.
    Given the next broadcast deal may not be so great and a world wide recession is making investors nervous at all levels I think it's more likely wages will fall.

    Isn't that what we have now??

    Even capital city sides like Adelaide and Roar and Perth can not compete financially with the Sydney/Melbourne teams

    Last I looked also Blue Aids n Victree keep winning and it ain't changing soon either


    This comp started dying the day they started tampering with the Salary Cap is season 3 to let Blue Aids sign Cankles and Disco Stu when they didn't have the budget for them

    Why? It might make money grabbing marquees less likely, because with an open market clubs will be able to get better value for money than the like of Villa or Honda, but quality foreigners will be able to move here more easily.

    And this is why we are forever destined to be a shit club.

    I would rather it be more like the Man Utd vs Leeds rivalry. We don't give a shit about it because we are vastly superior. **** Leeds, **** the mariners, **** the record and **** the people.

    You don't understand what it is to support a club with your statement

    That is why it best you support plastic sides like Chelsea

    This isn't the reason we are always destined to be a shit club. It's a symptom.

    Plus, in order for us to say **** the mariners, we need to actually be better than them. Right now we are half Gypo/half trash.

    You need to find a new dead horse to beat. McKinna is the reason we are trash, not Mr Lee. Martin isn't the one spending his money on Gypos and telling the media/fans clear lies about how the club is going.

    McKinna is the sole reason we are in our current state.

    A) he gave us a Marquee in Hoolahan. It's not his fault that Wes got injured. Martin Lee is spending enough money on the team. But...

    B) there's no point him putting more money into a poorly run club anyway. The twat in charge will just spend it on more Fitzgerald's and Millar's from down the F3, as well as resigning the current crop of mediocre players, to keep us rooted to the bottom of the table.

    C) there's no reason why he should need to invest more money into the club. I don't know why you think he should spend more money on a club that should be able to support itself? You're very much on your own there.

    Always forgotten that Griff has quite a bit to do with recruitment.
