They also are likely to have more contacts and a better scouting network than the Phoenix. But it's not about attracting or affording the high quality players, it's about building a team which is balanced and can do the job. Apparently Berisha will be an Ozy citizen next season so they may have four import spots to play with.
But the motivation of key players may be down to poor man management within the team. Fahid wanted to stay despite the fact that he had better offers elsewhere so something changed drastically in his motivation if he really is spending more interested in the crown casino than training. Gui also had passion for the team and was apparently in tears when he wasn't in the ACL squad.
The fact that there is a big clean out speaks just as much about senior players wanting to leave as the team wanted to refresh. The roar has shown that a key to sustained success is not to have that big clear out but keep a stable base to a team and gradually replenish, sure you have up years and down years but you are more up than down.
