I'm starting to giggle every time I see forum members say a source has no credit. I think we're up to about 37 untrustworthy news sources, all saying the same thing.
We have an ownership group who have been caught lying.
We have zero recruitment, no player renewals and no coach.
The club is losing money and under the current climate has little hope of ever making money.
It makes financial sense for the owners to try to recoup every cent they can from this venture; therefore offering the licence for sale and potentially challenging the legalities of not being allowed to do so would be acting in the best interests of the shareholders.
Conversely, the FFA would be acting in their own best interests if they blocked this sale, so that they can instead get their hands on the money from a new franchise.
The writing's on the wall folks. Our best hope is that a New Zealander with an ego comes along and buys the licence.
