That Title is incredibly misleading wow... No where in the article does it say he's signed or provides any evidence of it.  

2nd paragraph...

In the latest twist of a messy saga, Professional Footballers Australia revealed tonight that, with their backing, the 27-year-old had signed a contract with the Phoenix.

hah! you're right. Ugh Tiredness must be getting to me.  You'd have thought tho that the club would have announced that by now ?

Challenge?

Not standard motivation for footballers, usually it's pay and titles

Anyway it's an interesting one and I'm glad it looks like we've got him

At least we might finally have a proper rival.

He was applying to be a Kiwi afaik, someone would have to ask how the process is going.

Good point. Why would anyone want to play for the Phoenix, a living joke of a club with an incompetent management too busy organising friendlies to recruit decent players?

(^^^^ sarcasm, of course. Seriously; it's the same old "if someone wants to play for the Nix there must be something wrong with them" moaning negativity.)

PFA MEDIA STATEMENT ON MICHAEL McGLINCHEY

MELBOURNE: Monday, June 7, 2014

Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) can confirm that Michael McGlinchey has sought the advice of the PFA regarding his contractual status following the end of his loan period with J-League club Vegalta Sendai, which followed changes to the ownership and license of the Central Coast Mariners.

Through its lawyers, the PFA advised Michael that, after the loan period, he became a free agent and was therefore entitled to sign with the club of his choice

Michael has since signed with Wellington Phoenix and is, in the PFA’s view, permitted to train, play and partake in all activities with the A-League club in accordance with his contract.

Neither the PFA nor Michael has received any formal correspondence from the Central Coast Mariners contesting this position.

The PFA has today written to Football Federation Australia (FFA) seeking confirmation that Michael will be registered as a player of Wellington Phoenix in accordance with his rights under FFA regulations and as a professional footballer.

not that they're biased.

But great news, as it near enough means the FFA will go along with it too.

It is good news and certianly a step along the right direction. Bear in mind though the PFA is a union. When was the last time you heard a Union say one of their members were in the wrong.

Really interesting that CCM hasn't talked to McGlinchey about this. All face saving and bluster in the media?

And we thought we were shambolic.... I guess if I was a CCM fan, I would be asking 'Why are you making all this noise but yet to enforce any perceived rights or even talk to the player?'

Under no circumstances should there be a Wee Mac YF tee shirt. 

It is an established scientific fact that Yellow Fever t shirts injure the players featured on them.


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

Sounds like we need a Joel Griffiths tee then!

Hmmm... am I wrong, or does this mean that now the only Kiwis at non-Nix teams are Storm Roux and Smeltzy?

From Mariners Twitter an hour ago:

"UPDATE: Please note that the legal mediation process regarding Michael McGlinchey, #CCMFC & @WgtnPhoenixFC is ongoing. "#ALeague

What a load of bollocks, mediation isn't required at all. There is either a contract binding him to CCM or there isn't. AFA needs to make their decision [on whether to accept his transfer] and let either CCM or WP do whatever they decide to do. There is nothing to mediate about. In fact, it might not even be AFA's decision at all; if Weemac was a free agent, they would have to accept his registration with us.

Since this may go to court, which no-one really wants, I would much prefer a situation where FFA pays CCM a bunch of money to go away and accept their loss to a legal schemozzle which might leave Wee Mac sidelined for ages.

Don't share your view. Likely to be thrown out at the first step - no case to answer. Why would FFA pay the money? surely the mediation/action is between CCM and WeeMac
