doubt it. The PFA would be all over that wouldn't they?
Plus it's not a great strategy long term, players talk and we're already not exactly an attractive destination for Aussies to come.
PFA can't influence selections, only get involved if you're being locked out of training etc
I tend to believe rumours like this because I don't think they emerge from nowhere and the football world is pretty small down here, others take a more sceptical line which is also fine
