Yes it's well-known WSW got Shinji Ono as a marquee when controlled by FFA but curious as to what makes you think they opened up the purse strings for Roar?....and don't say they got Broich and Berisha as they were both under the cap when they came to Roar. Pretty sure that when Berisha came to Roar, the ownership had been transferred to the Bakries anyway.
Having said that, FFA's lack of foresight in not "spending money to make money" is their own fault. If they had at least put a bit more effort (and $$$ in) into making the Jets a more competitive side, at least in a stronger position in contentionfor either 5th or 6th spot, I daresay crowds would be averaging 2-3k more than the 10k mark than they have for the home games this season.
