Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard that one, and I would have been crapping myself if I had. Where did you hear that one?
It was on the 442 forum a few months back, before FU was announced. But yeah if that was the case they would be winding things down rather than ramping them up. Apart from the lack of a contract to play in the A-League the club seems to be the healthiest its ever been.
