Below is section of an article on stuff regarding AFC’s player salaries.
Very very interesting and perhaps stops some myths led by other teams regarding their player wages. Which you only really need to look at their roster to figure out was BS.
Director of football Terry McFlynn told Stuff last week they were spending “nowhere near twice as much” as the figure of AU$3m (NZ$3.2m) that Australian Professional Leagues wants to institute as hard salary cap from the 2026-27 season, with a lone exception for one marquee player.

“I think there are clubs that are spending double the salary cap and more, but I think we’re about fourth or fifth across the league, from what we can understand.”
Just cos McFlynn says it doesnt make it true - AFC are the only one in the league at the moment that have the "new club" lack of restrictions right? Sowho are the clubs that are breaching the cap? Not every club can be the 4th or 5th highest spenders!

The bit I didn't get was the introduction ......
The Football Kingz went 0-for-10. The New Zealand Knights went 0-for-4. The Wellington Phoenix are 0-for-36 and counting.
Is he saying the Kingz went for 10 years, etc? How am I misreading it?
