General A-League discussion

Agree Jeff. That's like a 'We are in a bit of a hole' signing.

I wonder how Nicky feels about the Phoenix now that he can't get a gig anywhere?

Program on ESPN Friday night at 11 pm on the football business in Australia.

Final episode of a series on football and business worldwide - looks to have some interesting interviewees.

"HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? The Americas and Australia" ESPN 11 pm

Hersi to Sydney? Fox Sports linking him today. He seems to have been on the outer since coming out saying he wants a long term deal at WSW. Listed as injured but trained all week.

Everyone is linked to Sydney at the moment (including Nicky Ward 'ARF!)

The thought of this crossed my mind during that bizarre hand ball by Lia last year...

Mariners may not compete in ACL. Thatd be a disaster

North Sydney Mariners in 2014/15 no doubt

Mentioned it during game. Just a rumour obv but a worry

App they are but need support financially from ffa hmm

SST saying WSW want to bring the lulz by signing Carney.

Hersi wants 500k a year! http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/football/western-sydney-baulk-at-youssouf-hersis-500000-demands-to-stay-with-premiers/story-fni2fopz-1226781928176

Roar host the Jets on Friday night, this is the current state of Suncorp

Ibini back for CCM and Micth Nichols being linked to a J-League move.

Heart need 11 new players if that helps

FFA proposing deduction of 3 points from MV and WSW after fan trouble on December 28 #ALeague

— Jason Pine (@pineyzb) January 2, 2014

The 3 points are suspended.... depending on future behaviour

Is there any chance that a Sydney FC or Melbourne heart fan could put on a WSW or Victory kit and go start shit at one of their games in order to get the points docked?

They Sydney derby has come at the wrong time for them. You just know that's gonna kick off and bang, good bye 3 points.

I wonder if Lyall will sit on his hands with his next media statement or actually condemn those twats

WSW and MVFC fans venting on twitter but have brought up a decent point. Sydney wasn't charged regarding the stabbing after the Big Blue earlier this season. Maybe there was different circumstances regarding the incident, I can't recall.

Was Gallop in charge then?

Aussies Sunday papers going the full 'Soccer Shame' angle with their front pages today.

Interesting

"

One online posting made by a loyal Wanderers fan summarised the role of both groups, saying: "Northgate is our firm and guys who like to get into a bit of a scrap with whoever is willing, and AMOK is our youth group with the same mentality."

An RBB spokesman insisted the issue was a misunderstanding, saying the term "Northgate" referred to the stadium entry point that its fans use when they attend club games.

The "Hooligans" moniker was a "joke", they said, and both the Northgate and the AMOK subgroups were simply "groups of friends"."

Anyone buy this?

Not with a million dollars

This guy is apparently going to sign for Sydney. Mates with Petkovic.

Guessing they will cancel Yau's loan.
