Where do the Bulls get all this cash? Are they still getting a higher salary cap as a new team?

Gut feeling is that he'll regret this based on how amateur hour the club appears to be.

Narelle to score a job at Paramount Sports. Female TV presenters who know their football are in demand.

No idea about the salary cap, but Macarthur has some wealthy property developers as owners apparently.

their owners are the owners of Sydney united who just recently sold off land to Optus, the telecommunication company... they dont lack money, they just lack proper management & leadership

Very much in this camp. Thoroughly disappointed he thinks going there is a better prospect than the nix. Especially since the Yorke thing isn’t even fresh. But his decision, hopefully doesn’t live to regret it.

As Ufuk said, footballers have a short career, they have to go where there's money.

Paramount presenter role for Narelle? I guess at last they will live in the same city! Must have played some factor in Lewis's decision to choose Sydney as his new home.

First assist for Lewis at Macarthur as they run riot in an 8-2 victory over a somewhat less than Dynamic Herb Cebu FC.

Keeping wasn't much chop for that goal either. 😏

Clayton Lewis put in an awesome performance tonight for Macarthur.

This is a good move for him; to a team that doesn't play stodgy football, who has pace out wide.

Technically, he's absolutely first rate

Bit of a stretch the opening para. Baccus (32) & Lewis (27) are grown adults.

The captain of A-League club Macarthur FC has been accused of paying two younger teammates up to $10,000 to deliberately receive yellow cards in a scheme allegedly masterminded by his South American connection.
 
Davila was arrested on Friday at South Coogee, in Sydney's east, when police executed a search warrant as part of the investigation.

Lewis was arrested in Parramatta and Baccus was arrested in Campbelltown.

That’s surely harassment and prejudicial to getting a fair trial. 

A photo released of a stormtrooper arresting a guy in his underpants at his home. Should give you an insight into the legitimacy of both sides of the operation. 

Good job copper! 

Just out of curiosity who looks like the criminal gang breaking and entering in that photo? The police usually try to act like they are serving a community purpose, rather than enacting a wet dream for those who supported the wrong side in Star Wars. 

Just because it’s there doesn’t mean we should air it here. 

Remember these are the news networks that despite the requests of our PM ran segments of the Christchurch terrorists live stream. 

Just cos we can doesn’t mean we should.

While these accusations might be 100% true, all three players will be forever mud now even if proved innocent. Why were their names not suppressed until proven guilty?

Here are the New South Wales rules on name suppression. "The main idea behind suppression orders is that they need to be in the public interest rather than just to save embarrassment or for the convenience of the person under question." They don't just hand them out to all criminal defendants.

If it is about 2 yellow cards at 10 grand a pop, it really boggles the mind, especially for Lewis and Uli who are reportedly on very good coin (especially the latter).
Unless there are serious issues like debt or threats that we don't know about, I just can't wrap my head around.
Hopefully we hear more about this in the coming days and further details emerge.

Honestly, I've at times wondered why Uli and Clayton used to persevere in their complaining on the pitch. I wouldn't be surprised if this has been going on for a while. Glad neither of them play for us. Bit sad because I'd admired them until now.

Assuming they finish up with some form of fine or jail sentence no other decent club will sign them. A criminal record could could also affect visas or entry to other countries. Stupidity or greed?
It amazes me that there are sites that offer bets on something like this that can be rigged.

I wonder what the actual final charges will be and what the evidence will be. Not sure what the law is in Oz re “match fixing” I’m imagining they have at least an admission from Davila (on the basis of his admission he made to his club official) and recorded conversations/messages.

Still can't get my head around this - All for 20k! 

Had none of this happened, and if he was to stay at Macarthur for say the next 2-3-4 years he would easily make 50x that amount given he'd be on a fair wedge over there. It might even be greater than that still. Then to still think there is the World Cup coming up in 2026, it's just so dumb.

Either way, everything's still got to go through the process and court dates and all that. Even if he comes out the other side of this, Lewis, as well as the others who are involved will likely never kick a ball professionally again. 

I still wonder if this will have implications for Narelle too with her job over there? It'd be really sad if it did, but i'd also imagine it'd be a hard reputation to shake being at the forefront of footballing broadcasts over there, while also being the partner of corrupted footballer...

The Nix and Knights have both had convicted criminals play for them after they served their time/paid their dues. Who knows, Lewis might go pro again down the road if he’s not banned for life from the game (presuming he is actually guilty).

It's not match fixing (a much more serious charge), it's spot fixing.

With reflection not so sure Lewis & Baccus will get life bans. Higher chance yes that Davila will, as the evidenced ring leader who brought the idea to the other 2 - plus mystery player four.

But it's still early stages. All guess work at this stage, and we have no idea of the actual evidence the police have.

Perhaps the most well known incidence in Australian sport of spot fixing involved NRL player Ryan Tandy. Tandy got a life ban from the NRL in 2011, and sadly died from a prescription drug overdose at only 32, three years after his ban. From Wiki -

After the 21 August 2010 Canterbury-Bankstown match against the North Queensland Cowboys, Tandy (played for Canterbury) became embroiled in a betting scandal. The Totalisator Agency Board (TAB) announced that 95 per cent of bets placed on the first scoring play of this match were for the unusual option of a Cowboys penalty goal. Friends and associates of Tandy placed a large number of bets, with the total windfall for a successful bet expected to be over $100,000.

Tandy was then responsible for two actions in the match to allow the opposing side to score a penalty goal inside the first two minutes: first by giving away possession to the Cowboys in the opening moments of the match by knocking on, and then giving away a penalty in the play-the-ball ten metres in front of the goal posts. These actions put the Cowboys in a position where a penalty goal was a likely outcome; but they decided on an attacking option and scored a try instead.

Tandy was in more than $70,000 debt at the time of the match, owing to losses from his own long-standing gambling addiction.

On 6 October 2011, Tandy was found to be guilty of manipulating the first scoring point of the game. He received an intensive correction order for six months. It required: community service, supervision and curfew, but he could have been jailed for two years. He appealed the charge in January 2014 but lost the case. Tandy received a lifetime ban from NRL rugby league over the spot fixing.

So for allegedly getting a couple of Yellow Cards, they send SWAT in. Clayton must be a really dangerous fella at 5'2" and a real threat. I have no issues with players being arrested or asked to come in for interviews but really? The way the Cops over there handled this - with convenient photographic releases makes this look like extreme overkill. I wonder if they treat politicians and corrupt white collar executives the same? This isn't Mr Asia all over again. And amazingly, this all goes down just before two major semi finals. They could have either done this weeks ago or in a couple of weeks time. The whole thing smells - from both sides of the story.

Perhaps banning sports betting and sports betting adverts on shirts might be a decent course of action.

Who honestly gives a shark what the cops do, so long as they aren't physically assaulting anyone or being verbally abusive. If anything, going in with such a show of force reduces the chances of physical/verbal clashes. Cops are people too, they are going into unknown environments to execute a search warrant, it is better to be safe than sorry. I don't think white collar criminals deserve to be treated any better than any other type of criminal.
