    yeah mate instead of buying the club to use for development your owner should just cherry pick any players he likes and take them.
    Our CEO gives them away for free.
    its awesome.

    That's only because our season memberships are dirt cheap. If you bump it up another $60-70 which I think would put it up to league average, there'd be no way we get anywhere near that.

    Average crowds have been around 13k the last few years. But since we work on a finals system where 6 out of 10 teams make it and we've missed out the last 4 seasons finishing 7th most times, crowds are obviously going to suffer!

    Alot of people are also disgruntled by our owner and CEO. The owner has never been a football lover, he was a mining magnate whose fortune is basically gone. He's trying to save on every cent he can, therefore the club is suffering.
    He's come out and said "he cant wait to get rid of the jets".

    About 90% of $2.55 million just on player salaries.

    Even if we wish to trim costs we are still obliged to pay the minimum as part of Footballers Union agreement with the Football Governing body. We are also unable to exceed the $2.55 million if we wish to spend the max

    There is about a 2.5m salary cap, but most of that if not all is paid for out of the leagues tv rights deal.

    On top of that you can have an international, australian marquee player.

    Every teams salary cap is covered by the tv deal as you said.

    Why would Dundee be interested?

    Be surprised if the Dundee Utd rumour now is not the real McCoy now they have come out with that.


    The Middleby Out dream gets closer every day

    If it is true and happens, lets hope the new owner reviews every position in the club and act accordingly

    Please no to Dundee. The Scottish league besides Celtic is as bad as the A-League
    As if Dundee have money
    They would just be in it to get our better players

    If we have 10,000 members and each of us has a personal wealth of $5,000 then combined we have a wealth of $50m, same as owner of Dundee United.
