Even though people think we don't have a marquee I'm pretty sure every team does. All it means AFAIK is that their salary isn't counted towards the salary cap.
I don't see any reason for a player not to be named as a marquee. Either Ifill or North ill be it for us

But does that mean we've reached the 2m or so wage cap?

The reason would be that no-one meets the marquee criteria. I doubt Ifill would. North almost certainly meets the Aus marquee criteria, so probably is.

They do meet the marquee criteria but the criteria is pretty wishy-washy. Ifill has caps for Barbados so is marqueeable.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't marquee last year, and I've seen only conjecture that he is now.

It;s somewhat funny that our club's marquee GF & Daughter were working (i.e, Selling scarves...) in the stadium club shop (next to aisle 22/23) during the Boca game, or at least, before it started....

Not funny at all.
Maybe they wanted a few extra bucks to spend at Kirkaldie & Stains!

In this case Wikipedia is probably wrong, but when University professors around the world did a quiz type test, it was seen that they answer most choose was the ones from Wikipedia so its not that unrealiable.
